HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Maca 500 mg by Solaray
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, a root plant traditionally used in food and supplements. It's a straightforward single-ingredient formula with pullulan as an inactive capsule material.
Does it work?
No specific claim
The evidence for maca isn't established yet in the data we hold. The supplement has been studied for a handful of uses — including amenorrhea (missed periods), anemia, sexual dysfunction linked to antidepressants, athletic performance, and bone health — but none of those studies have produced reliable evidence strong enough to rate.
That doesn't mean maca doesn't work; it means the research isn't there yet to say one way or the other.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but its safety as a supplement taken long term hasn't been studied closely. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.
The safety data doesn't support use during pregnancy or breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable information either way — so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for maca. You're clear from a drug-interaction standpoint, but it's still smart to mention it to your pharmacist if you take any medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Maca is a traditional supplement with no documented drug interactions and a tolerability history as a food. The evidence for any specific health benefit isn't established in our data.
If you're interested in trying it and take any medications, check them here or ask your pharmacist first, and avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding unless your doctor says otherwise.
