HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Extract by BulkSupplements.com

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 product is just one ingredient: broccoli extract. It's a concentrated form of compounds from broccoli, including those glucosinolates we mentioned.

There are no other active ingredients—the inactive ingredient list is empty, so what you're getting is broccoli extract and nothing else.

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's ability to prevent or treat cancer is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer based on available research.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, we don't hold enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works. If you're thinking about this supplement for any of those conditions, talk it over with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports its use for your situation.

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, but concentrated supplements are less studied and carry more uncertainty. The safety data we hold advises caution with concentrated extracts—your doctor should approve before you start.

Side effects reported with broccoli seed and sprout extracts include loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping, especially at high doses. Topically, allergic skin reactions have occurred.

Broccoli extract is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Broccoli.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 187 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.

If you take medications broken down by the liver enzyme CYP1A2, broccoli extract may reduce their levels and effectiveness—this is rated Moderate. Similarly, drugs metabolized by CYP2A6 are at risk of lower levels (also Moderate).

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.

Broccoli extract may appeal to you if you're interested in colorectal cancer prevention and want a supplement approach, but the evidence for other cancers isn't solid yet. The big thing to watch: this supplement speeds up how your liver breaks down a large number of medications, which could make them less effective.

Before you take it, check your exact medications with the tool on this page and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's the right choice for you alongside any prescriptions you take.

Broccoli extract2 drug types · 187 drugs

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 Extract by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Extract by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Extract 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 Extract 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.
Does this supplement really work for cancer prevention?
Broccoli extract is rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer based on available research. For bladder, breast, and gastric cancers, we don't have enough reliable evidence yet. Talk with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports using it for your specific situation.
Will this slow down my medications?
Yes, potentially. Broccoli extract speeds up how your liver breaks down many medications, which can lower their levels and reduce how well they work. This applies to at least 187 individual drugs. Check your exact medications on this page with the interaction tool, and confirm with your pharmacist before you start.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Broccoli extract is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation based on the data we hold. That said, concentrated supplements are less studied than whole broccoli food, so talk with your doctor or midwife to make sure it's right for your situation.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common reports with broccoli seed and sprout extracts are loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping—especially if you take high doses. Allergic skin reactions have also been reported when broccoli comes in direct contact with skin.
Is the powder just broccoli, or does it have fillers?
This is pure broccoli extract with no other inactive ingredients listed, so you're getting just the extract itself.
How much fresh broccoli would I need to eat to get the same effect as this supplement?
The research we hold on how broccoli affects your liver enzymes is based on eating 500 grams of fresh broccoli daily. A concentrated extract would deliver those active compounds in a much smaller amount, but we can't tell you an exact equivalent dose from the data available.
