HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Extract Powder 500 mg 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 contains one active ingredient: Broccoli Flower Bud Extract, supplied at 500 mg per serving. The inactive ingredient is dextrin, a starch used as a filler.

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 is mixed. Broccoli extract is possibly effective for colorectal cancer risk reduction based on the data we hold.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, the evidence isn't established — we don't have reliable data to say whether it works or doesn't. If you're considering this supplement for cancer prevention or any other condition, talk with your doctor about what the current research actually supports.

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.

As a food, broccoli is well tolerated by most people. But this is a concentrated extract — far more potent than eating broccoli at the dinner table — and concentrated supplements are less studied.

The safety data advises caution. Some people report loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses.

Topically, allergic skin reactions (contact dermatitis) have occurred. Pregnancy and lactation data rates broccoli as likely safe, but because this is a concentrated form, your doctor or pharmacist should review it during pregnancy or breastfeeding to be sure it's right for you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Broccoli

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 — 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.

Before taking this product, check whether you use any drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 enzymes — these are Moderate interactions. Common examples include certain heart medications, blood thinners, and some antidepressants, but the list is long.

Use the interaction checker below with your exact medication names, or ask your pharmacist to review them.

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 help with colorectal cancer prevention, but the evidence for other cancers and conditions isn't clear. The biggest issue is that it can speed up how your liver processes many medications, potentially making them less effective.

If you take any regular prescriptions — especially for your heart, blood clotting, or mood — check with your pharmacist first. This concentrated form isn't the same as eating broccoli, so caution is warranted.

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 Powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Extract Powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Extract Powder 500 mg 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 Powder 500 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.
Is this the same as eating broccoli?
No. This is a concentrated extract — much stronger than the broccoli you'd eat. Broccoli as food is safe in normal amounts, but concentrated supplements are less studied and the safety data advises caution unless your doctor approves it.
Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data rates broccoli as likely safe during pregnancy and lactation, but because this is a concentrated extract rather than whole food, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first to make sure it fits your situation.
Does it actually work for cancer prevention?
Broccoli extract is possibly effective for colorectal cancer. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer, we don't have reliable evidence either way. Your doctor can help you weigh whether adding it makes sense as part of your overall health plan.
What side effects might I have?
Some people report loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses. Allergic skin reactions to broccoli have also been reported. Start with a small dose and monitor how you feel.
Why do I need to check my medications?
Broccoli's compounds can speed up your liver's breakdown of many drugs, making them less effective. Studies show it can boost liver enzyme activity by 10% to over 500% depending on the enzyme. That's why your pharmacist needs to review your specific prescriptions.
