HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Seed Vanilla 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 is a single active ingredient: broccoli seed glycerite liquid extract. It's the concentrated form of broccoli, prepared as a liquid in glycerin (a common sweetener and preservative) and vanilla flavor for taste.

Because it's a concentrated extract and not whole broccoli, the compounds that interact with your medications are more potent than you'd get from eating broccoli as food.

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).

Broccoli shows possibly effective evidence for colorectal cancer prevention based on the data we hold. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, the evidence isn't established well enough to rate it — there simply isn't enough reliable data to say whether it works for those conditions.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports its use.

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 eaten as food is safe for most people, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied and should be used with caution. The safety notes advise against using concentrated broccoli extracts unless your doctor approves it.

Some people report loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping after taking broccoli seed or sprout extracts, especially at higher doses. Broccoli is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though as always, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement while pregnant or nursing.

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 you take this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist about any medications you take that are broken down by CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 enzymes — broccoli can lower the levels of these drugs and make them less effective. This includes a wide range of common medications; use the search tool on this page to check your exact prescriptions.

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 broccoli extract may help prevent colorectal cancer, but the evidence for other cancers and conditions isn't clear. The bigger concern for most people is that it can reduce how well certain medications work by speeding up how your liver breaks them down.

If you take any prescription drugs, check them against the medication interactions on this page with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — and avoid concentrated broccoli extracts unless your healthcare provider says it's okay.

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 Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Seed Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Seed Vanilla 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 Vanilla 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.
Will this broccoli extract work as well as eating fresh broccoli?
This is a concentrated liquid extract, so it contains much higher levels of broccoli's active compounds than you'd eat in a normal serving of fresh broccoli. That's why the safety data recommends being cautious — the effects are likely stronger than food-form broccoli, including its interactions with medications.
Can I take this while pregnant or nursing?
Broccoli is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation based on the data we hold. That said, concentrated supplements are less studied than food, so it's still a good idea to run it by your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice, especially since you're being careful about what you take.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common reported effects are loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses. These are digestive issues and usually mild, but if they bother you, your pharmacist can help you decide whether to adjust your dose or stop.
Is this product safe for everyone?
Broccoli as food is safe for most people, but concentrated extracts are less well studied and should be used with caution. The safety notes advise against using them unless your doctor approves — so it's worth a conversation with your healthcare provider before you start, especially if you have any health conditions.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure or diabetes medication?
That depends on how your specific medication is broken down by your liver. Some blood pressure and diabetes drugs are affected by how fast broccoli clears them; others aren't. Use the medication checker on this page to search your exact prescriptions, and then confirm with your doctor or pharmacist.
