HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Muira Puama 250 mg by Swanson Superior Herbs
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: muira puama 10:1 root extract at 250 mg per capsule. The extract is a concentrated form of the muira puama root.
The remaining ingredients—rice flour, gelatin, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, and silica—are inactive ingredients that help form and preserve the capsule.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for muira puama in sexual dysfunction and erectile dysfunction (ED) is insufficient reliable evidence to rate, according to our data. This means clinical trials haven't established clear proof that it works for these purposes yet.
If you're considering it for sexual health, talk with your doctor about whether it's appropriate for your situation.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Muira puama has been used in small amounts traditionally, but human safety data are limited and we don't have much information on side effects from controlled studies. The safety information isn't strong enough to recommend it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so those are situations to avoid it.
If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for muira puama. That said, absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee that none exist—it just means we have no monograph data showing them.
If you take any medications, it's still worth running them through the interaction checker on this page or confirming with your pharmacist before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.
Muira puama is a traditional herbal supplement with limited scientific evidence for sexual dysfunction or ED. It doesn't appear to interact with medications based on our data, but safety information is sparse.
If you're considering it, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or have health concerns, check in with your own doctor or pharmacist to see if it fits your situation.
