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.

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.

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
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Muira Puama product and its label doesn't state a use — see Muira Puama's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

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
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

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.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Muira Puama

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 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.

Does Muira Puama 500 mg by Advance Physician Formulas interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Muira Puama 500 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?

Does Muira Puama actually work for erectile dysfunction?
The evidence isn't established yet. We don't have reliable data showing it works, so we rate it insufficient to judge. Your doctor or a sex-health specialist can discuss whether it's worth trying in your case.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're in either situation.
Does it have side effects?
We have no adverse effects on file for Muira Puama. That said, human safety data are limited, so side effects may exist that we just don't know about yet.
