HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Peruvian Black Maca by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: Peruvian black maca, a root powder used traditionally as a nutritional supplement. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Maca's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: stamina, mental focus, mood and male sexual health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Fatigue, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Memory, Depression, Sexual desire — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Depression, Fatigue, Memory, and more.

The evidence we hold for maca doesn't yet support its use for any condition. Studied uses include amenorrhea (absent or irregular periods), anemia, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis — but the data for each is insufficient to rate.

That doesn't mean maca doesn't work; it means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say one way or the other.

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 supplement safety hasn't been studied long term, so we don't have a lot of safety data at higher amounts. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain in some people.

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 this ingredient. Even so, run your medications through the checker on this page before you start.

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 curious about maca as a traditional supplement and you're not pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medications that might interact with it, this is a straightforward single-ingredient product. Check with your pharmacist before you start, especially if you take anything for mood, hormones, or blood clotting.

The evidence for what it does isn't established yet.

Wild Peruvian Black Maca by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Wild Peruvian Black Maca by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Wild Peruvian Black Maca. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wild Peruvian Black Maca 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.
Is black maca safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it during pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable information. There's also not enough reliable information on safety while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in either situation.
What is maca used for?
Maca has been studied for amenorrhea (absent or irregular periods), anemia, sexual dysfunction related to antidepressants, athletic performance, and osteoporosis. The evidence for each of these uses is insufficient to rate — meaning the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say whether it works.
Can maca cause side effects?
Maca is generally well tolerated. The main side effect on file is that fresh, uncooked maca may cause stomach pain. Because supplement safety hasn't been studied long term, we don't have a lot of long-term safety data.
Does this product have any fillers or inactive ingredients?
No — this is a single-ingredient powder with no inactive ingredients listed.
