HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Advanced Lycopene 10 mg by Nature's Bounty

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This softgel contains one active ingredient: 10 mg of lycopene, a red pigment found naturally in tomatoes and other fruits. Lycopene is an antioxidant your body uses to help manage oxidative stress.

The capsule itself is made with soybean oil, gelatin, corn oil, vegetable glycerin, and yellow beeswax.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Prostate and heart health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Prostate cancer — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lycopene is rated "Possibly Effective" for Prostate cancer (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lycopene is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, and more.

The evidence on lycopene is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for prostate cancer, which is the strongest evidence we have for this ingredient.

For bladder cancer, diabetes, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), the evidence either doesn't support its use or isn't reliable enough to rate. For exercise-induced asthma and ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), we simply don't have enough data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lycopene from food is considered safe, and supplement doses are generally well tolerated. That said, oral supplements can cause gastrointestinal side effects in some people — including diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and loss of appetite.

One case report noted chest pain in a pregnant person taking a different lycopene product, though a causal link wasn't established. For pregnancy, the safety data advises against supplements unless your doctor advises otherwise, though food amounts are fine.

The same goes for breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data on supplements, but ordinary dietary lycopene is okay.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lycopene.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs you're taking — blood thinners like warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and similar medications. Lycopene may increase bleeding risk with these.

Advanced Lycopene 10 mg by Nature's Bounty: Common Questions

Does Advanced Lycopene 10 mg by Nature's Bounty interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Advanced Lycopene 10 mg has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Advanced Lycopene 10 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on aspirin or a blood thinner?
Not without checking first. Lycopene can increase bleeding risk when combined with antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or blood thinners like warfarin. Run your exact medication through the checker on this page, or ask us before you start.
Does lycopene actually work for prostate cancer?
It's rated possibly effective, which means there's some evidence it may help, but it's not proven. For other cancers and conditions, the evidence is weaker or absent. Talk to your doctor about whether it fits your health plan.
Are there any side effects?
Digestive issues are the main ones — diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. They're not common, but they can happen with supplements. Start low and see how you tolerate it.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't there to say it's fine with supplements in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Food amounts of lycopene are okay, but supplements should be avoided unless your doctor says otherwise. Talk to your OB or midwife before starting.
What is lycopene and why is it in supplements?
Lycopene is a red pigment found in tomatoes and other fruits. It's an antioxidant — a substance that helps protect your cells from damage. We put it in supplements because some research suggests it may have health benefits.
