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 one active ingredient: broccoli powder. Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable concentrated into powder form, containing compounds called glucosinolates that appear to influence how your liver processes certain drugs.

No inactive ingredients are 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 supports broccoli as possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention. For other cancers—bladder, breast, and gastric—and for fibromyalgia, the evidence available to us isn't strong enough to say whether it works.

These ratings reflect what research shows so far, not a final answer.

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. With concentrated supplements like this powder, the safety record is less clear, so the caution here is real: talk with your doctor before taking a broccoli supplement unless they've approved it.

Loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping have been reported at higher doses, and topically, allergic reactions and contact dermatitis are possible. Broccoli is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

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 Broccoli Powder, double-check any medications metabolized by CYP1A2 enzymes (including certain heart and seizure drugs, some antidepressants, and others—a Moderate interaction) and any drugs metabolized by CYP2A6 (a Moderate interaction as well). The best step is to run your exact medications through the interaction checker on this page and confirm with your doctor or pharmacist.

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 appeal to you if you're interested in its potential cancer-prevention properties and if you don't take medications metabolized by CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 enzymes. If you take any prescription drugs—especially for heart, blood pressure, mood, seizures, or blood clotting—check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, since this supplement can reduce how well many of them work.

Concentrated broccoli supplements are less studied than whole broccoli, so approval from your healthcare provider matters here.

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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes—broccoli is rated likely safe in both pregnancy and lactation. That said, concentrated supplements are less studied than whole food, so mentioning it to your doctor or midwife is a good idea.
What side effects might I experience from this powder?
At higher doses, loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping have been reported. Allergic contact dermatitis is also possible. Most people tolerate broccoli as food without trouble; concentrated supplements are the caution.
Does broccoli powder actually work for cancer prevention?
For colorectal cancer, the evidence suggests it's possibly effective. For bladder, breast, and gastric cancers, we don't yet have strong enough data to say. This powder is not a treatment—talk with your doctor about cancer prevention as part of your whole health plan.
Why does this powder interact with so many medications?
Broccoli contains compounds called glucosinolates that speed up the activity of liver enzymes (CYP1A2 and CYP2A6). These enzymes break down a wide range of medications, so when they work faster, your drugs may not reach their full strength. That's why checking your specific medications matters.
Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners or heart medication?
Those are exactly the types of drugs that broccoli can affect. Don't start this supplement without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first—they'll know your specific medications and can tell you if it's safe for you.
