HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: broccoli seed extract in a dried form. It's mixed with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to create the liquid formulation.

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 we hold shows broccoli is possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, the research isn't yet established enough to rate it either way.

If you're considering this product for a specific health reason, it's worth discussing what the current evidence actually supports with your doctor or pharmacist.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Broccoli

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. The safety of concentrated extracts like this one isn't as well studied, so caution is advised — talk with your doctor before starting if you're concerned.

Some people who took broccoli seed or sprout extracts reported loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses. Allergic reactions and contact dermatitis have also been reported.

Pregnancy and lactation data show broccoli is likely safe, but that's based on food intake — the safety of this concentrated extract during pregnancy or breastfeeding isn't on file, so check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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.

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.

Broccoli Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Alcohol Free 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?
Broccoli Alcohol Free 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.
Will this extract give me the same benefit as eating fresh broccoli?
That's a good question. Fresh broccoli is generally well tolerated in normal amounts, but concentrated extracts like this are much less studied. The interaction with your liver enzymes has been shown in people eating 500 grams of fresh broccoli daily — we don't have the same detailed data for this extract. Talk with your doctor about which form makes sense for what you're trying to do.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Broccoli as a food is likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. The safety data we hold for this concentrated extract during pregnancy or breastfeeding isn't on file, though. Your doctor or pharmacist can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
What's the main thing this supplement might actually do?
The evidence we hold rates it as possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, there just isn't enough research yet to say either way.
What side effects should I watch for?
Loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping have been reported, particularly at higher doses. If you have sensitive skin, be aware that allergic contact reactions to broccoli have also been documented.
Is this safe for everyone to take?
Broccoli as food is fine in normal amounts, but concentrated extracts are less studied. The safety data advises caution — check with your doctor before starting, especially if you have any health concerns or take medications.
