HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triple Source Maca Unflavored by GNC Earth Genius
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
Low disclosure
This product contains 3 active ingredients: organic gelatinized Maca root powder (a blend of the three varieties below), organic Yellow Maca, organic Red Maca, and organic Black Maca. All three are forms of the same plant root, processed and dried into powder.
There are no inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for maca is incomplete. For all the uses listed — amenorrhea (absent periods), anemia of chronic disease, sexual dysfunction related to antidepressants, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works.
That means the science isn't established yet, not that it doesn't work.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maca is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been studied. Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain.
During pregnancy, the safety data advises against it — there's not enough information to know it's safe. The same goes for breastfeeding: there isn't enough reliable information on safety, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we checked. Still, run any medications you take through the checker below before starting.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're looking for a maca supplement without documented drug interactions, this product fits the bill. But evidence for what maca actually does is still limited.
Avoid it in pregnancy; discuss it with your pharmacist if you're breastfeeding. It's generally well tolerated, though fresh maca can upset your stomach.

Formula
Something old, something new. Cultivated in the Andes Mountains, Maca has been used for more than 2,000 years. But we've made this traditional herbal supplement even better. Our triple source Maca combines yellow, red and black Maca so you get the benefits of all three types of Maca in one power-packed serving. We've also gelatinized the Maca to remove the starch that's naturally present.
