HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Seed Mint Flavor by TerraVita

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 seed glycerite liquid extract. The extract is made from broccoli seeds and includes compounds called glucosinolates, which are responsible for both broccoli's potential health effects and its ability to affect how your liver processes certain medications.

The liquid also contains glycerin and mint flavor as inactive ingredients.

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 is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for lowering colorectal cancer risk.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works. If you're considering this supplement for a specific health concern, talk it over with your doctor — they can help you weigh what the current research shows against your own 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 well tolerated by most people. This product, however, is a concentrated extract, and the safety data for concentrated broccoli supplements is less established than for whole broccoli.

Some people have reported loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping when taking broccoli seed and sprout extracts, especially at higher doses. Allergic skin reactions to broccoli are possible but uncommon.

Because safety data on concentrated extracts is limited, talk with your doctor before starting this supplement to make sure it's right for you.

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 seed extract may be worth exploring if you're interested in colorectal cancer prevention and your doctor gives the go-ahead. The main caution is that it can reduce how well certain medications work by speeding up your liver's breakdown of them — so check your specific drugs first.

Since this is a concentrated extract rather than whole broccoli, it's worth confirming with your doctor or pharmacist that it's safe for your situation.

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 Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Seed Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Seed Mint Flavor 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 Mint Flavor 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 seed extract safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Broccoli is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. That said, this is a concentrated extract, not whole broccoli, and the safety data on concentrated supplements is less complete. Chat with your doctor or midwife before starting it.
What does broccoli seed extract actually do?
It may help lower colorectal cancer risk, based on current evidence. For other cancers, fibromyalgia, and stomach issues, there isn't enough solid research yet to confirm it works. Your doctor can help you figure out if it's right for your health goals.
Could this supplement upset my stomach?
Yes — some people experience loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, or cramping, particularly at higher doses. Start with a small amount and see how you feel. If it bothers your stomach, talk with your pharmacist about whether to keep taking it or adjust the dose.
Why does broccoli affect so many medications?
Broccoli contains compounds called glucosinolates that speed up how fast your liver breaks down certain drugs. The faster your liver works, the lower the drug's blood level becomes, which can make it less effective. That's why it interacts with medications processed by your liver's CYP2A6 and CYP1A2 enzymes.
Is this the same as eating broccoli?
No — this is a concentrated extract, so it delivers a much higher amount of broccoli's active compounds than you'd get from a regular serving. That's why the liver-enzyme effect can be stronger, and why safety data for the supplement is less complete than for whole broccoli.
