HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Muira Puama and Catuaba by Hawaii 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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (983 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid contains two active ingredients: Muira Puama Bark Extract and Catuaba Bark Extract. It also holds alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver the extracts in liquid form.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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

The evidence we hold for both of these ingredients is insufficient to rate them. The facts show no established effectiveness ratings for Muira Puama against sexual dysfunction or erectile dysfunction, and no ratings for Catuaba either.

That doesn't mean they don't work — it means the scientific evidence to support them hasn't been built yet.

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Human safety data for both ingredients are very limited, and long-term safety isn't well established. Neither one should be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — the safety information just isn't there to support it.

Muira Puama has been used in small amounts traditionally, but you're not working with a lot of human research here. No adverse effects were recorded in the data we hold for either ingredient, but again, limited research means limited reporting.

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 2 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That doesn't mean none could happen — it means we have no monograph data linking them to specific drug problems.

Check with your own pharmacist or doctor before you start.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This is a traditional herbal combination with very little human safety research behind it and no proven effectiveness in the studies we have. If you're thinking about trying it, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any other medications.

Muira Puama and Catuaba by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Muira Puama and Catuaba by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Muira Puama and Catuaba. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Muira Puama and Catuaba contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No — the safety information for both ingredients is too sparse to recommend use during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor about what's right for you.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this?
No — there's no reliable safety data for nursing, so it's best to avoid it while breastfeeding. Your doctor or pharmacist can talk through your options.
Does this actually work for sexual dysfunction?
The evidence we have for Muira Puama is insufficient — meaning the science isn't there yet to say whether it works. Catuaba doesn't have an effectiveness rating in our data either.
What are the side effects?
No adverse effects were reported in the data we hold, but human research on both ingredients is limited, so side effect reports may be incomplete.
Why is this a liquid instead of a capsule?
Liquid extracts are one way to deliver herbal ingredients — the alcohol, water, and glycerin in this formula help preserve and extract the active compounds from the bark.
