HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Sprout 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

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 is a single-ingredient supplement: broccoli powder. It contains no fillers or other inactive ingredients.

The broccoli powder is concentrated, which means the active compounds — particularly glucosinolates — are more potent than in fresh broccoli.

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?
  • 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 ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Colorectal cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Broccoli powder is rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer risk reduction based on current evidence. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to rate whether it helps.

If you're considering this for cancer prevention or another specific condition, talk with your doctor about what the research actually supports for your situation.

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 food is well tolerated in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplements like this powder are less studied for safety, and the facts advise caution — avoid concentrated extracts unless your doctor approves.

Oral side effects reported with broccoli seed and sprout extracts include loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping, particularly at high doses. Topically, allergic skin reactions (contact dermatitis) have occurred, though that's less likely with an oral powder.

For pregnancy and lactation, broccoli powder is rated Likely Safe, so the safety data supports its use during those times. If you have specific health concerns or take other supplements, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

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 broccoli powder, check whether you take any drugs metabolized by the liver enzymes CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 — both interactions are Moderate severity. These include some antiarrhythmics (heart-rhythm drugs), certain antidepressants, some pain relievers, and smoking-cessation aids.

Your doctor or pharmacist can confirm whether any of your medications are on that list and whether timing adjustments are needed.

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 Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Sprout Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Sprout 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 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.
Will this actually reduce my cancer risk?
Broccoli powder is rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer based on current evidence. For breast cancer, bladder cancer, and gastric cancer, we don't have enough reliable data yet to know whether it helps. Talk with your doctor about whether adding it makes sense for your personal risk and health goals.
Is this safe to take every day?
Broccoli as food is safe in normal amounts. With a concentrated supplement like this powder, the safety data is less clear, so the recommendation is to avoid it unless your doctor approves your use. If you take it, start low and watch for loose stools or stomach cramping, especially at higher doses.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes — broccoli powder is rated Likely Safe during pregnancy and lactation. That said, if you have any concerns about adding supplements during this time, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
What exactly does broccoli powder do in my body?
Broccoli powder contains glucosinolates, compounds that activate liver enzymes responsible for breaking down certain medications. When you take this supplement, these enzymes work faster, which can lower the blood levels of drugs you're taking and make them less effective — which is why checking your medications first is important.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate broccoli powder well. Reported side effects include loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping, especially at high doses. Allergic skin reactions are rare but possible. If you notice any of these, lower your dose or stop and talk with your pharmacist.
Does this powder have any fillers or extra ingredients?
No — this product contains only broccoli powder with no inactive ingredients, fillers, or binders.
