HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Seed Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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.

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.

Broccoli Seed Powder is a single-ingredient supplement containing just broccoli powder. There are no fillers, binders, or other inactive ingredients—it's pure broccoli in concentrated form.

The broccoli used here contains glucosinolates, compounds that your body can convert into sulforaphane and related molecules with potential health benefits.

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 in preventing or treating cancer is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer, meaning there's some research backing it but the evidence isn't conclusive.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, the evidence on file is too thin to rate—we simply don't have enough reliable studies to know whether it helps. Talk with your doctor about whether broccoli supplements make sense for your particular situation.

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 an everyday food is safe for most people. Concentrated supplements like this one are less well studied than the whole vegetable, so the safety data we have is more limited.

The main cautions are that very high doses—particularly broccoli seed and sprout extracts—have been linked to loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping. Topical contact with broccoli can rarely cause allergic reactions on the skin.

Broccoli powder is rated likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, though concentrated supplements are still less studied than food.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Broccoli

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.

If you take any medications broken down by the liver enzymes CYP1A2 or CYP2A6, check your exact drugs with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement. Broccoli can significantly speed up how your body clears these medications, which might make them less effective.

The strength of this effect depends on the dose of broccoli you're taking.

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 supplement works best for people interested in the possible benefits of broccoli for colorectal cancer prevention and who want concentrated form. If you take any medications metabolized by your liver—especially certain heart, psychiatric, or cancer drugs—you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first, because broccoli can lower their blood levels.

Keep an eye out for digestive side effects at higher doses. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before you start.

Broccoli, Powder2 drug types · 187 drugs

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 Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Seed Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Seed 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 Seed 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?
Broccoli as a food is safe in normal amounts. This concentrated powder is less studied than the whole vegetable, so there's more caution with daily use unless your doctor approves. Watch for loose stools or stomach cramping, especially at higher doses.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes—broccoli powder is rated likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. That said, concentrated supplements are less well researched than eating broccoli as a vegetable, so talk with your doctor or midwife if you have any concerns.
Will this help prevent cancer?
Broccoli is possibly effective for colorectal cancer, meaning there's some research suggesting it may help, but the evidence isn't definitive. For other cancers like bladder and breast cancer, the evidence we have is too limited to say whether it helps or not.
What are the most common side effects?
At high doses, broccoli seed extracts have caused loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping. These tend to happen more with concentrated supplements than with eating broccoli as a vegetable.
Why does broccoli interact with so many medications?
Broccoli contains compounds called glucosinolates that activate your liver enzymes, particularly CYP1A2 and CYP2A6. These enzymes break down over 180 different medications, so speeding up their activity can lower the blood levels of those drugs and reduce how well they work.
