HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Powder 5 g 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 powder. It's simply concentrated, dehydrated broccoli — the same vegetable you'd eat at dinner, but in powder form.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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).

Broccoli powder is possibly effective for reducing colorectal cancer risk based on available evidence. For other cancers — bladder, breast, and gastric — and for fibromyalgia, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works.

That doesn't mean it's ineffective; it means the research isn't complete enough for us to draw firm conclusions.

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 well tolerated in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplements like this powder are less studied, and our data advises caution — the safety of concentrated broccoli extracts isn't firmly established.

The main side effects reported from broccoli seed and sprout extracts (particularly at high doses) are loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping. Allergic reactions, including contact dermatitis from topical exposure, have also been reported.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you have a sensitive stomach or take medications affected by liver enzymes.

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 any medications you use that are broken down by the liver enzymes CYP2A6 or CYP1A2 — broccoli powder can speed up how your body clears them, potentially lowering their effectiveness. This is a Moderate-severity concern.

Use the medication checker on this page to see if any of your drugs are affected.

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 powder may be worth considering if you're interested in possible colorectal cancer support and tolerate the supplement well. However, it's not right for everyone — especially if you take medications processed through CYP2A6 or CYP1A2 pathways, since this powder can significantly speed up how your liver clears those drugs.

Check your exact medications with our tool and talk with your pharmacist before adding it.

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 Powder 5 g by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Powder 5 g by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Powder 5 g 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 Powder 5 g 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 broccoli powder safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Yes — broccoli is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. However, most of the safety data is based on broccoli as a food, not concentrated supplements. If you're pregnant or nursing and want to take this powder, talk with your doctor or midwife first.
What are the side effects of this powder?
At high doses, broccoli extract can cause loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping. These side effects are more common in concentrated extracts than in whole broccoli. Start with a small dose to see how your stomach handles it.
Does broccoli powder actually work for cancer prevention?
There's possibly effective evidence for colorectal cancer. For bladder, breast, and gastric cancers, the evidence we have is insufficient to say either way — the research just isn't complete. Broccoli shouldn't replace any cancer treatment or screening your doctor recommends.
Why do I need to check my medications with broccoli powder?
Broccoli contains compounds (glucosinolates) that can ramp up two liver enzymes — CYP2A6 and CYP1A2 — that break down many common drugs. This can lower the levels of those medications in your blood and make them less effective. That's why it's important to run your specific meds through the checker.
