What Are "Star" Ratings?

CloseClose

Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.

Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.

For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.

For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:

The four major cultivars of maca are red, black, cream, and purple; none has been definitely proven to be medicinally superior to any other.

Comments about GNC HERBAL PLUS STANDARDIZED GNC Herbal Plus® Whole Herb Maca Root:

I mainly use Maca Root for my face. Last year I developed some cystic acne. I tried everything. At the beginning AirBorne worked for me but then I found Maca Root on line and as of recently I have noticed that this has been very efficient at controlling my outbreaks. I noticed this because I always forget to take my vitamins on the weekends. So whenever I would forget to take my Maca pills, I'd just break out again.

I know that Maca is also used for other things like reducing stress, increasing your sex drive, and supposedly making your butt bigger. I am not sure if it has helped with the other things but I will definitely continue using for the acne.
