HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Broccoli Sulforaphane Glucosinolate 600 mg by SuperSmart

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: broccoli extract standardized to 600 mg of sulforaphane glucosinolate. That's a concentrated form of a compound naturally found in broccoli that your body converts to sulforaphane, a substance some research suggests may have health benefits.

The capsule also contains two inactive ingredients—acacia gum and white rice flour—as binders and fillers.

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 extract is possibly effective for reducing colorectal cancer risk based on available evidence. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, the evidence is currently insufficient to rate whether it works.

If you're considering this supplement for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports its use 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 food is safe for most people in normal amounts, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied and should be used only if your doctor approves. The main adverse effects reported from broccoli seed and sprout extracts are loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and abdominal cramping, especially at higher doses.

Allergic contact reactions are also possible if you're sensitive to broccoli. Pregnancy and lactation data show broccoli extract is likely safe, though concentrated extracts haven't been extensively studied in these groups—talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing.

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.

Check any medications you take that are broken down by the liver enzymes CYP1A2 and CYP2A6—this includes blood pressure drugs, heart medications, antidepressants, and many others. Broccoli extract may reduce how well these drugs work by increasing how fast your body clears them.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review your specific medications before you start.

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 supplement may help with colorectal cancer prevention, but the evidence for other conditions is unclear. The main concern is its potential to speed up how your liver breaks down certain medications, which could make them less effective.

Before you start, check your medications with the tool on this page, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement is 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 Sulforaphane Glucosinolate 600 mg by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does Broccoli Sulforaphane Glucosinolate 600 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Broccoli Sulforaphane Glucosinolate 600 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 Sulforaphane Glucosinolate 600 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.
Does this supplement really work?
Broccoli extract is possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention based on available evidence. For other conditions like bladder cancer, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and gastric cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works. Talk with your doctor about what the science supports for your specific health goal.
What are the main side effects?
The most common side effects are loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping—especially at higher doses. Allergic reactions are also possible if you're sensitive to broccoli. If you experience these effects, lower your dose or stop and check with your pharmacist.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Broccoli extract is likely safe during pregnancy and lactation based on available data. However, concentrated extracts haven't been extensively studied in these groups, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before you start.
Why do I need to check my medications?
Broccoli can speed up how your liver breaks down certain drugs, which may make them less effective. This affects medications metabolized by two liver enzymes—CYP1A2 and CYP2A6—including some blood pressure drugs, heart medications, and antidepressants. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications before you start.
What's the difference between eating broccoli and taking this supplement?
You'd need to eat about a pound of fresh broccoli daily to get the dose in this supplement. The concentrated extract is much more potent and hasn't been studied as thoroughly as broccoli food itself, which is why the safety data recommends checking with your doctor before using concentrated broccoli supplements.
