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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Oct 1, 2026

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: 270 mg of freeze-dried, fresh broccoli per capsule. Freeze-drying concentrates the plant's compounds — including glucosinolates, the compounds responsible for the enzyme interactions noted above.

The capsule itself is made from hypromellose, a standard plant-based capsule material.

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 for broccoli sprouts is mixed and limited. It's rated possibly effective for reducing colorectal cancer risk based on available data.

For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works — the research just hasn't been done or isn't strong enough to draw conclusions.

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.

Whole broccoli as food is safe for most people in normal amounts. This supplement, however, is a concentrated extract, and the safety data for concentrated broccoli supplements is less established than for the food itself — so the caution here is warranted.

Oral side effects reported with broccoli seed and sprout extracts include loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping, particularly at higher doses. A small number of people have experienced contact dermatitis (skin irritation) from topical broccoli exposure.

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.

Check any medications you take that are broken down by the liver enzymes CYP2A6 and CYP1A2 — both are Moderate-severity interactions. This is a broad category that includes certain antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and others.

Use the medication interaction tool on this page to look up your specific drugs, or ask your pharmacist whether any of yours fall into these groups.

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.

If you're interested in broccoli for possible colorectal cancer support and you don't take medications metabolized by CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 enzymes, this supplement may be worth a conversation with your doctor. Given that the safety data for concentrated broccoli supplements is thinner than for whole broccoli, and the enzyme interactions can affect a broad range of medications, it's important to run your exact medications through the interaction checker below or talk with your own pharmacist before starting.

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.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Broccoli as a whole food is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. Because this is a concentrated supplement rather than fresh broccoli, and the safety data for extracts during pregnancy and breastfeeding is less established, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for your situation.
Does freeze-dried broccoli work the same way as fresh broccoli?
Freeze-drying removes water but concentrates the plant's active compounds, including glucosinolates — the compounds that interact with your liver's drug-processing enzymes. So yes, the active constituents are there, and likely in higher concentration than fresh broccoli by weight.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common side effects reported with broccoli sprout extracts are digestive — loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or cramping, especially at higher doses. A small number of people have had allergic skin reactions when broccoli touched their skin directly.
Is this supplement proven to prevent cancer?
Broccoli is rated possibly effective for colorectal cancer based on available evidence. For bladder, breast, and gastric cancers, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it helps — the research hasn't established it either way.
Why does the product say concentrated supplements need doctor approval?
Whole broccoli as food is well tolerated, but concentrated extracts — like this freeze-dried supplement — are less studied in people, and the side effects and long-term safety are less clear. That's why the data advises checking with your doctor before starting, especially if you have any health conditions or take medications.
What is hypromellose in the capsule?
Hypromellose is a plant-based material used to make the capsule shell itself — it's an inactive ingredient that helps hold the broccoli powder together and makes it easy to swallow.
