HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Powder 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 a single active ingredient: broccoli powder. It's a concentrated form of the whole broccoli plant in powder form, with no fillers or other 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).

The data shows broccoli is possibly effective for reducing colorectal cancer risk. For other cancers — bladder, breast, and gastric — and for fibromyalgia, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate it either way.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research isn't robust enough yet for us to say.

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, this is a concentrated supplement, and the safety data for concentrated extracts is less solid than for the whole vegetable.

Some people report loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping from broccoli seed and sprout extracts, especially at higher doses. Contact allergic reactions have also been reported when broccoli is applied to skin.

The safety notes recommend checking with your doctor before using concentrated supplements unless they've given the all-clear. For pregnancy and lactation, broccoli powder is rated likely safe based on the data we hold.

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.

Check any medications you take that are processed by your liver's CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 enzymes — broccoli can lower their blood levels and reduce how well they work. Use the medication checker on this page to see if yours 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.

If you're interested in broccoli's potential benefit for colorectal cancer risk, or you simply want to add broccoli's nutrients in powder form, this product is generally well tolerated. But because it's concentrated, run your medications through our checker first — it affects how your liver processes a lot of common drugs.

And talk to your pharmacist if you have a sensitive stomach or plan to take this during pregnancy.

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 by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Powder by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Powder 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 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 to take every day?
As a food, broccoli is safe in normal amounts. This is a concentrated supplement, though, and the long-term safety data for daily use isn't as clear. The safety notes suggest talking to your doctor before starting, especially if you have a sensitive stomach or plan to use it regularly.
Will this powder give me loose stools or cramping?
Some people report loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping from broccoli extracts, particularly at high doses. Most of these reports came from broccoli seed and sprout extracts, though, so the effect may differ with this powder. If you have a sensitive digestive system, start small and see how you feel.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Broccoli powder is rated likely safe in pregnancy based on the data we hold. That said, because this is a concentrated supplement rather than whole broccoli, it's smart to run it by your doctor or midwife for personalized advice before you start.
Does this actually work against cancer?
The evidence shows broccoli is possibly effective for colorectal cancer risk. For bladder, breast, and gastric cancers, the research we hold isn't strong enough to say either way yet. Don't use this as a substitute for screening or medical treatment — talk to your doctor about what's right for you.
What exactly is in this powder?
It's just broccoli powder — no added fillers, binders, or other ingredients. It's a concentrated form of whole broccoli.
How much broccoli is in each serving?
The product facts we hold don't include serving size or amount per serving, so I can't tell you the exact dose. Check the label or product page for that information.
