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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
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
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
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.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for muira puama. Even so, if you take any medications — prescription, over-the-counter, or other supplements — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you add this product to be sure it won't affect your treatment.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.
Muira puama extract is a single-ingredient supplement with limited human safety and effectiveness data. No medication interactions are documented for it, but that's not a guarantee none exist.
If you take any medications or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement.
