HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Sprout Extract by Herbadiet

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: broccoli sprout extract. The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose — an inert plant-based shell with no active role.

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?
  • The label markets general wellness (“antioxidant and detoxification support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • 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 sprout extract is mixed. It's possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention, meaning some evidence supports it but more research is needed.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't. The facts we hold don't establish its effectiveness for other conditions.

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 a whole food is safe for most people in normal amounts. The safety of concentrated extracts, though, isn't as well established — they haven't been studied as thoroughly as fresh broccoli.

Some people have reported loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping after taking broccoli seed and sprout extracts, especially at higher doses. Allergic reactions causing contact dermatitis have also been reported, though those were from topical exposure.

Talk with your doctor before starting a concentrated extract if you have any concerns. For pregnancy and lactation, broccoli extract is rated likely safe — meaning the data we have supports it as safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

That said, because this is a supplement rather than food, confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before taking it during pregnancy or while nursing.

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.

Before taking this product, double-check medications that your liver breaks down using CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 enzymes — broccoli can lower their levels and weaken their effects. Use the interaction checker on this page to look up your exact drugs.

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 single-ingredient broccoli sprout extract may be worth considering if you're interested in colorectal cancer support, but the evidence for other conditions isn't established yet. The main caution is that it can speed up how your liver breaks down certain medications — so before you start, check your exact prescriptions with the tool on this page.

Because concentrated extracts haven't been studied as much as whole broccoli, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

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 Extract by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Sprout Extract by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Sprout Extract 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 Extract 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.
Does this actually work for cancer prevention?
Broccoli sprout extract is possibly effective for colorectal cancer — meaning some evidence supports it, but we need more research. For breast cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, and other conditions, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Broccoli extract is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation based on the data we have. That said, confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement during pregnancy or while nursing — they know your full health picture.
What are the side effects?
The main side effects reported with broccoli sprout extracts are loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping — especially at higher doses. Allergic skin reactions are rare but possible.
Why is this a concentrated extract and not just fresh broccoli?
A concentrated extract lets you get broccoli compounds in a capsule, but the downside is that extracts haven't been studied as thoroughly as whole broccoli. If you're comfortable with whole broccoli as a food, that's a well-researched option too.
Will this slow down or speed up my medications?
Broccoli can speed up how your liver processes certain medications, potentially lowering their levels and weakening their effects. Use the interaction checker on this page to see if any of your prescriptions are affected — it's important to know before you start.
