HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Muira Puama Extract 1000 mg by Puritan's Pride

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 root extract at 1000 mg per serving. Muira puama is a plant extract that's been used traditionally, though human safety and effectiveness data are limited.

The rest of the tablet is made up of inactive ingredients — dextrose, dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, stearic acid, maltodextrin, palm leaf glaze, silica, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers, binders, and coating materials that hold the supplement together.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Sexual performance and erectile function support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Sexual dysfunction, Low libido, Sexual vitality.
  • The closest evidence on file: Muira Puama is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Muira Puama is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED).

The evidence for muira puama isn't established. We hold no reliable data showing it works for sexual dysfunction or erectile dysfunction (low blood sugar).

That doesn't mean it's ineffective — it means the clinical trials aren't solid enough yet to say either way. If you're considering this for a sexual health concern, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence supports.

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 been used in small amounts traditionally, but human safety data are limited, so caution is warranted. The safety information is sparse enough that the data advise against it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Because we don't have enough information to know if it's safe in those situations, talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing before you take this product.
