HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Prosta-Rye by WellSpring

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Prosta-Rye has 2 active ingredients: maca and rye pollen extract. The product also contains inactive ingredients—gelatin, rice flour, and magnesium stearate—which are typical capsule fillers and binders.

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 we hold doesn't establish that maca works for any of the conditions listed on this product, including amenorrhea, anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis. We rated all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence.

Rye pollen extract's effectiveness isn't documented in our data.

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 safety as a supplement hasn't been well studied. Consumption of fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain.

The safety data advises against using maca during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in supplement amounts.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Maca

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

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 maca we could check. We couldn't check rye pollen extract, so ask your pharmacist to verify this product against your specific medications before you start.

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.

Prosta-Rye is a two-ingredient product where the evidence doesn't establish either ingredient works for the claimed uses. Maca is generally well tolerated but should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

If you're considering this product or already taking it, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to decide whether it makes sense for your situation.
