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 supplement contains one active ingredient: broccoli at 450 mg per capsule. The product also includes gelatin and water as inactive ingredients to form and fill the capsule.

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 supports its use for colorectal cancer prevention, where it's rated possibly effective. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works or doesn't.

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 safe for most people in normal amounts. However, concentrated broccoli supplements like this one are less studied, and the safety data advises caution — taking them without your doctor's approval isn't recommended.

Side effects reported with broccoli seed and sprout extracts include loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping, particularly at higher doses. Allergic contact reactions to broccoli itself have also been documented.

In pregnancy and lactation, broccoli is rated likely safe, but if you're pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement.

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're on any medications broken down by CYP1A2 enzymes (such as certain antidepressants, blood pressure drugs, or pain relievers) or by CYP2A6 enzymes — broccoli can significantly reduce their blood levels and effects. Use the medication checker on this page to confirm your specific drugs, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe to combine.

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.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in colorectal cancer prevention and your doctor approves it. However, because it can reduce how your liver processes many medications, anyone taking prescription drugs should check their exact medications against the interaction tool below and talk with their doctor or pharmacist before starting.

The concentrated form carries more uncertainty than eating fresh broccoli, so get personalized advice before you begin.

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 Seed 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Seed 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Seed 450 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 Seed 450 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 safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Broccoli is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. That said, because this is a concentrated supplement rather than food, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can give you personalized advice based on your health.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common side effects reported with broccoli seed extracts are digestive: loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses. Allergic skin reactions to broccoli itself have also been documented, though they're less common.
Does broccoli supplement actually work for cancer prevention?
The evidence supports broccoli for colorectal cancer prevention — it's rated possibly effective. For bladder, breast, and gastric cancers, or fibromyalgia, there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it helps.
Why does the product fact sheet warn about liver enzymes?
Broccoli contains compounds called glucosinolates that speed up how your liver breaks down certain medications. This can lower the blood levels of those drugs, potentially making them less effective — which is why you need to check your specific medications before starting.
How much broccoli is in one capsule compared to eating fresh broccoli?
This capsule contains 450 mg of broccoli — much less than the 500 grams of fresh broccoli used in studies. However, because this is a concentrated extract, its effects may differ from eating whole food, so ask your doctor or pharmacist how it compares for your situation.
