Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maca Extract by Herbadiet
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: maca root extract. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for maca extract isn't established yet. Our data rates it insufficient for amenorrhea, anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — meaning there isn't enough reliable research to say whether it works for any of these uses.
If you're thinking about maca for a specific reason, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see what the current research suggests.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca root extract is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been studied in detail. Avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data in supplement amounts for either.
One note: eating fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain, so stick with the prepared extract in this capsule.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for maca root extract.
The bottom line
