HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Non-Alcohol 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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic broccoli extract in a non-alcoholic liquid form. Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable, and the extract concentrates its bioactive compounds—mainly glucosinolates—that are responsible for both its potential health effects and its interaction with certain medications.

The inactive ingredients are vegetable palm glycerin (a sweetener and solvent) and crystal clear artesian Hawaiian water.

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 is mixed. It's rated Possibly Effective for reducing colorectal cancer risk based on available research.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, the evidence isn't established well enough for us to rate it one way or the other. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor to see whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

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 and safe in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplements like this extract are much less studied.

The safety data advises caution with concentrated extracts unless your doctor approves. Side effects reported from broccoli seed and sprout extracts include loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and abdominal cramping—especially at higher doses.

Topically, allergic contact reactions have occurred. Pregnancy and lactation safety is rated Likely Safe, though concentrated extracts haven't been extensively studied in these populations.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're interested in broccoli's potential benefits and your doctor gives the okay, this extract is worth considering—but only after checking it against your current medications with your pharmacist or doctor. The enzyme-boosting effect is real and can reduce how well some drugs work.

Anyone taking medications processed by the liver should be especially careful.

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 Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Non-Alcohol 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 Non-Alcohol 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 safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Broccoli itself in pregnancy and lactation is rated Likely Safe. That said, concentrated extracts like this one haven't been studied as thoroughly as the whole food. Talk with your doctor or midwife before starting any supplement during pregnancy or while nursing to make sure it's right for your situation.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure or heart medications?
That depends on which specific medication you're taking, because some are broken down by the liver enzymes this broccoli extract affects. Check your exact medication name in the interaction checker on this page, or ask your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
What's the difference between eating broccoli and taking this extract?
This is a concentrated liquid extract, so the active compounds are much more potent than you'd get from eating fresh broccoli. That means the enzyme-boosting effect on your liver could be stronger, which is why the interaction risk matters more here.
Does this really help prevent cancer?
Research suggests broccoli may be Possibly Effective for colorectal cancer risk. For other cancers like breast, bladder, and stomach cancer, we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say either way. Always talk with your doctor about cancer prevention strategies that fit your individual risk.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common ones are loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping—especially if you take higher doses. Allergic skin reactions to broccoli have also been reported. If you develop any of these, stop taking it and let your pharmacist or doctor know.
