HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pure Organic Gelatinized Maca Root Capsules 600 mg by Maca Magic

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 powder, a gelatinized extract at 600 mg per capsule. Gelatinization makes it easier for your body to digest and absorb.

The capsule itself is vegetarian, and the maca is certified organic.

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 facts we hold show insufficient evidence to rate maca for amenorrhea (absent or irregular periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, or osteoporosis. That means the research isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works for these uses.

If you're considering maca for a specific health goal, your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh what's known.

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 as a food, but as a supplement, it hasn't been studied long term — so the safety data is limited. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain; this product is gelatinized, which reduces that risk.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid it. The same goes for breastfeeding — we don't have reliable information on safety.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether maca is right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Maca

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Run your medications through the interaction search tool on this page to be sure, and talk with your pharmacist if you have questions.

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.

Maca is well tolerated by most people, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been established. No medication interactions are documented for this ingredient, though that doesn't rule out individual risks.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine.

Pure Organic Gelatinized Maca Root Capsules 600 mg by Maca Magic: Common Questions

Does Pure Organic Gelatinized Maca Root Capsules 600 mg by Maca Magic interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Pure Organic Gelatinized Maca Root Capsules 600 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pure Organic Gelatinized Maca Root Capsules 600 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.
Will maca help with irregular periods or fertility?
The evidence we hold isn't strong enough to say maca reliably works for amenorrhea (absent or irregular periods). If you're dealing with cycle issues or fertility concerns, your doctor can assess what might help in your situation.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, avoid it during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data. The same is true for breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you at each stage.
What's gelatinized maca, and why does it matter?
Gelatinization is a process that breaks down the starch in maca root, making it easier for your body to digest and use. It also reduces the risk of stomach upset that can come from raw maca.
Could maca cause side effects?
Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain, but this product is gelatinized, which lowers that risk. Beyond that, long-term supplement safety data for maca is limited.
Does this product have any fillers or binders?
The inactive ingredients are the gelatinized maca and the vegetarian capsule material itself — no added fillers or binders.
