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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports healthy cell replication.
  • We looked for evidence on: Bladder cancer, Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Gastric cancer, Prostate cancer, cellular health — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Broccoli is rated "Possibly Effective" for Colorectal cancer (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Broccoli is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Bladder cancer, Breast cancer, Gastric cancer, Prostate cancer.

The evidence for broccoli sprout extract is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to rate how well it works. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence shows and whether it's a good fit for you.

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 food is generally safe for most people in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplements like this extract are less studied, and the safety data isn't as well established.

The facts advise avoiding concentrated extracts unless your doctor approves. Some people have reported loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and abdominal cramping after taking broccoli seed and sprout extracts, especially at higher doses.

Topical contact with broccoli has occasionally caused allergic skin reactions.

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, check any medications you take that are broken down by the liver enzyme CYP1A2 (such as some antidepressants, some pain relievers, and certain other drugs) and CYP2A6 (including some blood pressure medications and others). The broccoli extract may reduce how well these drugs work by speeding up how fast your liver clears them.

Use the medication search tool on this page, and confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist that it's safe to combine.

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.
Is broccoli sprout extract safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Broccoli as a food is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. However, concentrated extracts are less studied than whole food, so the safety data for the supplement form isn't as clear. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this extract is right for you during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
What side effects might I experience?
Some people report loose stools, diarrhea, belly pain, and cramping after taking broccoli seed and sprout extracts, especially at high doses. Topical contact can occasionally cause allergic skin reactions. If you develop any of these, stop and reach out to your pharmacist or doctor.
Does broccoli sprout extract actually work for cancer?
It's rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say how well it works. Talk with your doctor about what the evidence shows for your specific situation.
Why is concentrated extract riskier than eating fresh broccoli?
Concentrated supplements deliver a much higher dose of broccoli's active compounds than you'd get from eating fresh broccoli, and they're less studied in supplement form. The safety data for extracts isn't as well established as it is for whole broccoli as food.
How does broccoli interact with medications?
Broccoli contains compounds that speed up liver enzymes (CYP1A2 and CYP2A6) that break down many medications. This can make those drugs less effective by lowering how long they stay in your bloodstream. Because this extract is concentrated, the effect may be stronger than eating fresh broccoli.
