HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Sprout Extract by Earthborn Elements

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 Sprout Extract is a single-ingredient supplement containing concentrated broccoli sprout extract, the active component that gives the product its properties. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, which is an inactive ingredient.

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 for broccoli sprout extract is not yet established in our data for any of the conditions it's marketed for — including hay fever, asthma, prostate cancer, liver disease, and Helicobacter pylori infection. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means we don't hold reliable clinical evidence one way or the other.

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, but concentrated supplements like this one haven't been studied as thoroughly. The most common side effects reported with broccoli sprout extracts are loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses.

Raw broccoli sprouts can occasionally carry harmful bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli if they've been grown improperly; cooking eliminates that risk. The safety data for this supplement in pregnancy and breastfeeding is mixed — it's rated likely safe in pregnancy but possibly unsafe during breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or nursing.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Broccoli Sprout.

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 might appeal to you if you're looking for a whole-food-based supplement, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established yet. The main concern is that it could speed up how your body clears certain medications.

Check your prescription and over-the-counter drugs below before starting, and talk with your pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or prone to digestive upset.

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.
