HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MaCafe by Maca Magic

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Maca Magic contains one active ingredient: maca powder, a root vegetable from the Andes. The product lists maca as both the active and inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

No specific claim
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
General wellness

This Maca product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Maca's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“energy and stamina”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence for maca isn't established yet. Our data rates its use for amenorrhea (absence of periods), anemia, antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis all as insufficient — meaning there aren't enough reliable studies to say whether it works for any of these.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maca

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied thoroughly. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.

The safety data advises against using maca during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in those situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Maca

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for maca powder.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're curious about maca as a general supplement, it's generally well tolerated. But we don't have strong evidence it works for any specific condition, and we don't have long-term safety data on supplement doses.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it makes sense for you.

MaCafe by Maca Magic: Common Questions

Does MaCafe by Maca Magic interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in MaCafe. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
MaCafe contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is maca safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against maca during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing and interested in taking it.
Can maca help with sexual dysfunction caused by antidepressants?
That's one of the uses people ask about, but there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works. The studies just aren't there to back it up.
What should I do if maca gives me stomach pain?
Stomach pain can happen with fresh, uncooked maca. If you experience it, stop taking it and talk with your pharmacist — they may be able to recommend a preparation that's easier on your stomach, or suggest an alternative.
How long has maca been studied as a supplement?
That's the thing — long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been thoroughly studied, even though maca has been eaten as a food for a long time. We don't have the data to know how safe it is over months or years at supplement doses.
