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.

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: maca root extract. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

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 function, energy, stamina, and brain health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Sexual desire, Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, Fatigue, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Athletic performance, Memory — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Fatigue, Memory, and more.

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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maca

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 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.

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

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for maca root extract.

Maca Extract by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Maca Extract by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Maca Extract. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Maca Extract contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Is maca safe to take while I'm pregnant?
No — there isn't enough safety data in supplement amounts during pregnancy, so the guidance is to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you and your pregnancy.
Is maca safe while breastfeeding?
There's not enough reliable information to know whether maca is safe while breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Can maca cause stomach problems?
Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain. Since this product is a processed extract in capsule form, that risk is lower — but if you do experience stomach discomfort, stop taking it and let your pharmacist know.
Does maca actually improve sexual function or athletic performance?
The evidence isn't clear enough yet. Our data rates both uses as insufficient — there's not enough reliable research to say it works for either. If you're curious about what newer research might show, your doctor can point you to current studies.
