HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Sprout by Health Ranger Select

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 11, 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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains four ingredients: broccoli powder, glucosinolates, sulforaphane, and glucoraphanin. Broccoli powder is the whole-food concentrate; the other three are phytonutrients naturally present in broccoli sprouts.

The capsule itself is made with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, an inert filler.

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 its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients 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 ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Prostate cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Sulforaphane) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Colorectal cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Broccoli) (Natural Medicines).

Broccoli powder is possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention based on available evidence. For bladder, breast, and gastric cancers, as well as fibromyalgia, the evidence isn't established enough for us to rate it.

Sulforaphane is possibly effective for prostate cancer but appears ineffective for Helicobacter pylori infection; evidence for its use in allergic rhinitis, asthma, and other cancers is currently insufficient.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Broccoli Sulforaphane

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • 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, but concentrated supplements like this one are less well studied long-term. The product may cause loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or cramping, particularly at higher doses.

Sulforaphane can cause bowel discomfort, heartburn, stomach upset, vomiting, and headache; insomnia and irritability have been reported in trials. Rare cases of seizure have been reported in males with autism taking sulforaphane.

Both ingredients are rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation based on available data, though concentrated supplement safety in these situations is not fully established — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Broccoli Sulforaphane

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Sulforaphane, Broccoli.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 724 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.

Check these medication types with your pharmacist before starting: CYP2A6 substrates (the most significant concern), CYP1A2 substrates, CYP3A4 substrates, and CYP2E1 substrates. These are enzyme-system categories rather than single drugs, which is why the total affected count is high.

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.

If you take any prescription or over-the-counter medications metabolized by your liver — especially blood thinners, certain pain relievers, antidepressants, or birth control — check with your pharmacist first. The concentrated sulforaphane and broccoli compounds in this product can speed up or slow down how your body processes drugs.

It may help with colorectal cancer prevention, but evidence for other conditions is limited.

Sulforaphane3 drug types · 722 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, sulforaphane might alter the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
Animal and in vitro research shows that sulforaphane inhibits CYP1A2 enzyme activity. However, its precursor glucoraphanin also appears to increase the expression of the CYP1A2 enzyme, which could lead to increased metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates. These effects have not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, sulforaphane might increase the levels and effects of CYP2E1 substrates.
In vitro evidence shows that sulforaphane inhibits CYP2E1 enzymes. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, sulforaphane might increase the levels and effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Animal and in vitro research shows that sulforaphane inhibits CYP3A4 enzyme activity and downregulates its expression. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

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 Sprout by Health Ranger Select: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Sprout by Health Ranger Select interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Sprout has a known interaction with 723 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Broccoli Sprout contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 upset my stomach?
Possible — broccoli sprout extracts have caused loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses. Sulforaphane can cause heartburn, stomach upset, bowel discomfort, and in some cases nausea or vomiting. Start with a lower dose to see how you tolerate it.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The broccoli powder and sulforaphane are rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation based on available data. That said, concentrated supplements haven't been as thoroughly studied as whole broccoli food in these situations — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your individual needs.
Does this actually prevent cancer?
Broccoli powder is possibly effective for colorectal cancer based on current evidence. For other cancers (breast, bladder, gastric), and for other health claims, the evidence isn't strong enough yet for us to say either way.
What's sulforaphane and why is it in here?
Sulforaphane is a compound naturally found in broccoli sprouts. It's been studied for prostate cancer prevention, though it appears ineffective against Helicobacter pylori bacteria. It's in the product because broccoli sprouts are a rich source of it.
Can I take this with my other supplements?
You'll want to check with your pharmacist — this isn't just about medications, but about how broccoli compounds can speed up or slow down how your body metabolizes other substances. The interaction potential is real even with supplements.
