HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Male Vitality by Herb Pharm

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (664 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Male Vitality is a liquid blend with four active ingredients: Maca Root Extract, Sarsaparilla Root Extract, Asian White Ginseng Root Extract, and Cardamom Seed Pod Extract. The formula is delivered in cane alcohol and distilled water.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Male reproductive health and vitality.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related testosterone deficiency, Male infertility, Sexual desire, Erectile function, Sperm quality.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Sexual desire (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related testosterone deficiency, Male infertility.

The evidence for what these ingredients do isn't established in the data we hold. Maca Root Extract, Sarsaparilla Root Extract, and Cardamom Seed Pod Extract all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate them for their listed uses — whether that's sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, joint health, or digestive support.

We have no effectiveness data on file for Asian White Ginseng Root Extract either.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maca Sarsaparilla Cardamom

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Maca Root Extract is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied. Fresh, uncooked maca can cause stomach pain.

Sarsaparilla is likely low-risk in food amounts, though human data on supplement doses are limited. Cardamom in food amounts is well tolerated by most people, though mild skin inflammation has been reported in a trial participant, and concentrated doses lack safety data.

Maca and Sarsaparilla both lack enough safety information for pregnancy and breastfeeding — the data advises against use in both. Cardamom's safety information during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not on file.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before taking this product.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check before taking this if you use lithium (a mood stabilizer) or digoxin (a heart medication) — both have Moderate-severity interactions with Sarsaparilla Root Extract in the blend. No interactions are documented for the other checked ingredients.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a herbal blend meant to support male vitality, but the evidence for whether it works isn't established. If you take lithium or digoxin (Lanoxin), check with your pharmacist first — Sarsaparilla may affect both.
