HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Sprout 4:1 Extract 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 16, 2026

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 sprout extract in powder form, concentrated as a 4:1 extract. There are no added inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Broccoli Sprout product and its label doesn't state a use — see Broccoli Sprout's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold on broccoli sprout is incomplete. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, prostate cancer, liver disease, or infection with Helicobacter pylori — a bacterium linked to stomach ulcers.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies aren't robust enough yet to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Broccoli Sprout

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 sprouts as food are generally well tolerated. Concentrated supplements, though, haven't been studied as thoroughly, and quality varies between brands.

Some people report loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, or cramping after taking broccoli sprout extracts, especially at higher doses. Raw broccoli sprouts grown improperly can carry harmful bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli; cooking eliminates this risk.

The supplement has a mixed pregnancy and lactation rating in our data — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Broccoli Sprout

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Broccoli Sprout.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • 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 whether you use any medications broken down by your liver's CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 enzymes. Broccoli sprout extract can speed up how fast your body clears these drugs, potentially reducing how well they work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Broccoli sprout extract may be worth considering if you're interested in its potential benefits, but the evidence for specific conditions isn't solid yet. If you take any prescription medications — especially those your liver processes — check them against the interaction tool on this page before you start.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement is a fit for you and your health plan.

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli sprout might reduce levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Animal research shows that broccoli sprout extract can increase CYP1A2 gene expression. Also, 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 glucosinolate constituents, which are also found in broccoli sprout.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli sprout might reduce levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2A6.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating broccoli 500 grams daily for 6 days increases CYP2A6 activity by 135% to 550%. Induction of CYP2A6 is attributed to glucosinolate constituents, which are also found in broccoli sprout.

Broccoli Sprout 4:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Sprout 4:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Sprout 4:1 Extract 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 Sprout 4:1 Extract 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.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Our data shows a mixed picture — one rating says it's likely safe, another says possibly unsafe. There isn't enough solid information to know for sure. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; they can weigh your personal situation.
What are the side effects?
The most common reports are loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses. Raw broccoli sprouts grown improperly can carry bacteria like Salmonella; cooking them eliminates that risk. If you buy a concentrate or supplement, make sure it comes from a reputable source.
Does broccoli sprout extract actually work?
We don't have strong enough evidence yet to say whether it works for hay fever, asthma, prostate cancer, liver disease, or H. pylori infection. The research so far isn't solid enough to rate it one way or the other.
What is broccoli sprout extract?
It's a concentrated powder made from young broccoli plants harvested before they fully mature. This product is a 4:1 extract, meaning four parts of fresh sprout are concentrated into one part powder.
Is it safe compared to eating broccoli?
Eating fresh broccoli sprouts is likely safe for most people. Concentrated supplements haven't been studied as well, and quality varies between brands, so they carry more uncertainty. The supplement is less studied than the food form.
