HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Muira Puama 500 mg by Advance Physician Formulas
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, a botanical traditionally used for sexual function. The capsule itself is made with modified cellulose, an inert filler.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for Muira Puama is insufficient to rate. We don't have reliable data showing whether it works for sexual dysfunction or erectile dysfunction, so we can't tell you what to expect.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Muira Puama has limited human safety data. Traditionally it's been used in small amounts, but we don't know enough to say how safe long-term use is.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for Muira Puama. That said, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page or ask your pharmacist before you start — absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist.
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 botanical for sexual function, but we don't have solid evidence it works. Safety data are sparse, and it's not advised in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
If you're interested in trying it, run it past your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you're on any medications.
