HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Astaxanthin + Lycopene by Terra ELMNT

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.

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Astaxanthin, Natural” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (24 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: lycopene and natural astaxanthin (derived from Haematococcus pluvialis). Lycopene is a red plant pigment with possible benefits for prostate cancer.

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid that gives certain algae and seafood their color. The capsules also contain inactive ingredients — cellulose, rice flour, and magnesium stearate — which help form and stabilize the supplement.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Lycopene's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: skin tone and health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging skin, Sunburn, Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE), Melasma, photoaging, sun damage — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lycopene is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Melasma (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lycopene is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Sunburn, Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE).

Lycopene is possibly effective for prostate cancer based on available evidence. For other conditions — bladder cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), and exercise-induced asthma — the evidence is either possibly ineffective or there isn't enough reliable data to know.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for astaxanthin in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene Astaxanthin

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. However, gastrointestinal side effects can occur — some people report diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite.

One case of chest pain was reported in a pregnant patient taking a lycopene product, though the role of lycopene in that event wasn't confirmed. Lycopene supplements haven't been well studied in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so safety data is limited in those situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene Astaxanthin

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.

Before taking this product, double-check if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel). Lycopene may theoretically increase your bleeding risk with these medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're taking blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check with your pharmacist before starting this product — the lycopene may increase bleeding risk. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of gastrointestinal issues, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in prostate cancer support, though the evidence is modest.
