HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Peruvian Maca 750 mg by LifeTIME

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 at 750 mg per capsule. Maca is a plant native to Peru that's been used traditionally as a food and supplement.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin, and the other inactive ingredients are rice flour, silica, and magnesium stearate — common fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Maca product and its label doesn't state a use — see Maca's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for maca is still being built. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for amenorrhea (missing periods), chronic disease anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis.

That means the research either hasn't been done yet, isn't strong enough to draw firm conclusions, or is mixed. If you're considering maca for one of these reasons, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current science supports and whether it's right for your situation.

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 is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been studied thoroughly. One potential side effect to know about: consumption of fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain — the maca in this product should be processed, but it's worth noting.

Because there isn't enough safety data on supplement amounts in pregnancy, the data advises against use during pregnancy. Similarly, there isn't enough reliable information on safety while breastfeeding, so that's another time to skip it or talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

No known interactions

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

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check in this product. If you take any medications and want confirmation before starting, feel free to search your exact drugs in the tool on this page or ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Peruvian Maca 750 mg by LifeTIME is a single-ingredient supplement with no documented drug interactions. It's generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data in supplement form is limited.

The evidence for what it may help with — from sexual function to athletic performance — is still insufficient to say whether it works. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data advises against it; otherwise, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether maca makes sense for what you're trying to address.

Peruvian Maca 750 mg by LifeTIME: Common Questions

Does Peruvian Maca 750 mg by LifeTIME interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Peruvian Maca 750 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Peruvian Maca 750 mg 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.
What is maca?
Maca is a plant native to Peru that's been used traditionally as a food. This supplement contains 750 mg of maca root per capsule.
Does this product have any documented side effects?
The main side effect noted in the data is stomach pain — but that's specifically from fresh, uncooked maca. The maca in this product should be processed, so that risk is likely lower, though any stomach upset is possible.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data on supplement amounts of maca during pregnancy, so it's advised to avoid it. The same goes for breastfeeding — the safety data isn't there. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
Is there evidence that maca actually works?
The evidence for maca is still insufficient to say whether it works for the conditions it's marketed for — that includes sexual function, athletic performance, and several others. The research either isn't done yet or isn't strong enough to draw firm conclusions.
Does this product contain anything besides maca?
The only active ingredient is maca. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: gelatin, rice flour, silica, and magnesium stearate — these are common fillers and binders.
