Hi Jeannette,
There is little information about maca root use during pregnancy and
lactation. While it is generally considered safe as a food, the Natural
Medicines Comprehensive Database suggests that the use of maca (as a
dietary supplement) should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation
because of the lack of safety information.
I hope this helps,
HopeAllyson Dwiggins
