HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Sprouts 270 mg by Eclectic Herb

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 contains one active ingredient: 270 mg of freeze-dried, fresh broccoli. Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable with compounds called glucosinolates that are thought to be responsible for its effects on how your body metabolizes certain medications.

The capsule also contains hypromellose, an inactive ingredient used to form the capsule shell.

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 (“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 supports broccoli as possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

If you're considering this supplement for cancer prevention or any other condition, talk it over with your doctor — the strength of evidence varies widely, and what's right depends on your individual 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 safe for most people in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplements like this one are less studied, and the safety data advises caution — concentrated extracts don't have enough safety research behind them.

If you want to take this product, check with your doctor first to make sure it's okay for you. Some people have reported loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping from broccoli sprout extracts, especially at higher doses.

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?
  • 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 you take this product, check with your pharmacist or doctor if you're on any medications broken down by the liver enzymes CYP1A2 or CYP2A6. Broccoli can speed up how your body clears these drugs, which may reduce their effectiveness (Moderate severity for both).

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 supplement might appeal to you if you're interested in colorectal cancer prevention and your doctor agrees it's appropriate. But because it can speed up how your liver breaks down certain medications, you'll want to check your exact prescriptions before starting — especially if you take drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 enzymes.

The safety of concentrated broccoli supplements isn't as well established as eating fresh broccoli, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist to confirm it's a fit 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 Sprouts 270 mg by Eclectic Herb: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Sprouts 270 mg by Eclectic Herb interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Sprouts 270 mg 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 Sprouts 270 mg 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 supplement safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Broccoli is rated as likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. That said, concentrated supplements are less well studied than eating broccoli as a food, so it's smart to check with your doctor or midwife before adding this to your routine during pregnancy or while nursing.
What are the side effects?
The most commonly reported side effects from broccoli sprout extracts are loose stools, diarrhea, stomach pain, and cramping, especially at higher doses. Allergic skin reactions to broccoli itself have also been reported. If you notice any of these, stop taking it and tell your doctor.
Does this actually work for cancer prevention?
Broccoli is rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer based on the data we hold. For breast, bladder, and gastric cancers, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say one way or another. This supplement isn't a substitute for screening or medical treatment — talk with your doctor about how it fits into your health plan.
How much broccoli is actually in this capsule?
Each capsule contains 270 mg of freeze-dried, fresh broccoli. That's less than the 500 grams of fresh broccoli used in the studies that showed effects on liver enzymes, but it may still have an impact on how your body processes certain medications.
Why does broccoli interact with so many drugs?
Broccoli contains compounds called glucosinolates that can speed up two liver enzymes — CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 — which break down many different medications. When these enzymes work faster, your body clears drugs more quickly, potentially lowering their effectiveness. That's why checking your specific medications is important.
