Description
Maca Capsules with Minerals — 30-Day Supply, Made in Japan
Overview
Maca root extract in a capsule, made in Japan, a thirty-day pack. The declaration is four items long — maca extract powder, starch, gelatin, glycerin — and maca is declared first, which under Japanese labelling law means it is the largest component by weight.
Maca is a root vegetable from the Peruvian Andes, eaten there as a food and sold worldwide as a supplement. It is a source of minerals including calcium, iron, potassium and zinc. That is what it is, and that is as far as we will go.
What this page used to say. Until today the description on this page recommended the product for erectile problems, premature ejaculation, sperm quality, "treatment of prostatitis" and "prevention of prostate tumors", and described thiocyanates as compounds "with anticancer activity". That is unlawful for a food to claim in Japan and in the EU — and worse, prostate symptoms and fertility problems are things a doctor should look at, not things to manage with a capsule bought online. Every word of it is gone. This is a food, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Full Ingredients
Declared amounts per daily serving of the daily serving printed on the pack:
| Maca extract powder | Declared first — maca extract with dextrin, manufactured in Japan |
|---|---|
| Other ingredients | Starch, gelatin, glycerin |
| Supply | 30 days |
| Quantified amounts on the pack | None that our record holds |
Declared ingredients, in the order printed: maca extract powder (maca extract, dextrin), manufactured in Japan; starch; gelatin; glycerin. That is the whole declaration — four items, and maca first, which under Japanese labelling means it is the largest by weight.
No amount is printed for the maca in the record we hold, so we cannot tell you the milligrams, and we are not going to estimate them. If the maca dose is what you are choosing on, that is a reason to ask us before ordering rather than to assume.
The capsule shell is gelatin and the manufacturer does not declare its animal source, so we cannot confirm halal status either way.

Cautions
- Not for children. The pack says so, and so do we.
- If you have symptoms, see a doctor. Difficulty urinating, changes in sexual function and fertility problems all have causes worth diagnosing, and none of them is a reason to buy a supplement instead of an appointment.
- Check the declaration if you have food allergies. The declaration is short, but gelatin is on it.
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under medical care or taking prescribed medication, speak to your doctor before use.
- Do not exceed the stated daily amount. More is not better here.
- This is a food, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

FAQ
Your old description promised a lot more than this one. What happened?
It promised things a food may not promise. It recommended this capsule for erectile difficulty, for sperm quality, for the treatment of prostatitis and for the prevention of prostate tumours. Those are unlawful claims and, more to the point, they are symptoms that need a doctor. We removed all of them and are telling you we did.
How much maca is in a serving?
We do not know. No milligram figure appears in the record we hold, and we will not print an estimate. What we can tell you is that maca extract powder is declared first, which under Japanese labelling means it is the largest component by weight of the four.
Is it vegetarian or halal?
The capsule shell is gelatin, so it is not vegetarian, and the animal source of the gelatin is not declared, so halal status cannot be confirmed.
What does maca actually do?
As a food it is a source of minerals — calcium, iron, potassium, zinc among them. Beyond that, the evidence is thin and mixed, and the honest answer is that nobody selling it to you is in a position to promise you an outcome.
Can I take it with medication?
Ask your doctor. It is a food rather than a medicine, but that is not the same as having no effect, and the person managing your prescriptions should know what you are taking.
