A member asked:
Is it safe to take biotin and maca while taking antidepressants ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safety not known: Biotin is a water soluble B vitamin, and maca is a relative of the radish . Each of them separately are not known to pose any established risk. The concern is that the chemicals in maca are not well known, and there is no confirmed scientific information regarding maca interactions. Therefore, taking antidepressants with biotin in recommended amounts is likely not harmful, but unknown with maca.
