Maca Root in Stallion Power: Place 2 of 9 and What the Trials Say

Maca is a root vegetable from the high Andes of Peru, and Stallion Power lists "Maca Extract" as the second line of its blend. It is there because maca is sold for stamina and desire.

People in Peru have eaten the root for centuries, often as a flour or a drink. Supplement makers dry it, grind it and sell it as powder, capsules or extract.

Food use and supplement use are different things. A bowl of cooked root and a milligram-sized extract in a gummy are not the same dose of anything.

The label does not say. By our arithmetic, maca extract is at most about 38 mg per gummy.

The blend lists parts from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)). Muira puama is first, so maca, in second place, cannot outweigh it. The two share at most 77 mg once the 5 mg of caffeine is set aside, so maca tops out near half of that: about 38 mg.

The studies used grams. A gram is 1,000 mg. Even at the ceiling, one gummy holds a few percent of a single gram of extract. The real figure is probably lower.

The ceiling is our arithmetic from the label order, not a lab test. The label's note of "approximately 567 mg of dry powders" describes the starting plant material, not the finished amounts.

It should not. Maca is the best-documented of the first four lines, yet its research was done at doses this gummy cannot reach.

Compare it with its neighbors. Muira puama and catuaba have no human trial. Tribulus has trials at 400 to 750 mg a day (Vilar Neto 2025, tribulus review), and one gummy holds 5 mg or less.

If erections or desire worry you, a doctor can check for causes such as heart disease or diabetes (Mayo Clinic, Erectile dysfunction). That check matters more than any herb.
