Drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the most common and serious adverse drug reactions. Idiosyncratic DILI is more common than intrinsic DILI and can be classified into hepatocellular injury, cholestatic injury, mixed hepatocellular‐cholestatic injury, and vascular injury.[1] Lepidium meyenii (Maca) has been intensively studied since its diverse repertoire of pharmacological properties. These experimental studies have not found any evidence of in vivo or in vitro toxicity associated with either long‐ or short‐term consumption.[2] Here, we reported a case of liver injury that was probably directly induced by Maca, suggesting that the safety of Maca should be evaluated by further studies.
