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.

Brocco Advanced contains one active ingredient: BroccoRaphanin, a concentrated extract from broccoli. The capsule also holds two inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable stearate — which serve as filler and binder to form the capsule.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Broccoli's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Broccoli for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Colorectal cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for broccoli extract in Brocco Advanced is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, the evidence isn't established in our data — there's either too little research or it hasn't been reliable enough to rate.

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.

Broccoli as a food is generally well tolerated in normal amounts, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied. The safety data advises caution with concentrated extracts unless your doctor approves.

Some people have reported loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping after taking broccoli seed or sprout extracts, especially at higher doses. Allergic reactions, including contact dermatitis, have been reported with topical broccoli.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, broccoli is rated likely safe based on the data we hold.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Broccoli.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.

Before taking Brocco Advanced, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any medications broken down by CYP2A6 or CYP1A2 enzymes — broccoli can lower their levels and reduce how well they work. Both interactions carry Moderate severity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Brocco Advanced may be worth considering if you're interested in broccoli's possible role in colorectal cancer support and your doctor has approved it. However, the concentrated extract here isn't as well studied as broccoli food, and it can speed up how your liver breaks down many medications — so it's essential to check your exact drugs with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

If you take CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 substrates, have a detailed conversation with your healthcare provider first.

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of fresh broccoli daily for 6-12 days can increase CYP1A2 activity by 10% to 200%. Induction of CYP1A2 activity by broccoli is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2A6.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of broccoli daily for 6 days increases CYP2A6 activity by 135% to 550%. Induction of CYP2A6 activity is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Brocco Advanced by PureFormulas: Common Questions

Does Brocco Advanced by PureFormulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Brocco Advanced has a known interaction with 187 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Brocco Advanced 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 Brocco Advanced if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Broccoli is rated likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding based on the data we hold. That said, this is a concentrated supplement, not whole food, and concentrated extracts are less studied. Talk with your doctor or midwife before starting to make sure it's right for you.
What side effects might I experience?
Some people report loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping after taking broccoli extracts, especially at higher doses. Allergic reactions are rare but possible. If you notice any of these, stop and let your pharmacist or doctor know.
Does Brocco Advanced actually work for cancer?
Broccoli extract is possibly effective for colorectal cancer, so there's some evidence there. For breast cancer, bladder cancer, and gastric cancer, the evidence in our data is too thin to rate — we don't know yet. Talk to your oncologist about whether it fits into your plan.
Why does broccoli affect so many medications?
Broccoli contains glucosinolates, which rev up your liver's CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 enzymes — the machinery that breaks down many drugs. When those enzymes work faster, drug levels drop and the medicine may not work as well. That's why checking with your pharmacist is critical.
Is this supplement safe because it's from broccoli?
Broccoli food is safe for most people in normal amounts, but this concentrated extract is different — the safety data for concentrated supplements is less established. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh whether it's right for you.
