HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene by Herbadiet

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This supplement contains 2 active ingredients: tomato and tomato fruit extract. Both deliver lycopene, the red pigment in tomatoes.

The capsule itself is vegetable cellulose — an inert shell to hold the contents. Tomato as a food is safe for most people, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied.

The safety notes recommend checking with your doctor or pharmacist before taking high-dose lycopene or extract supplements.

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Cardiovascular and prostate health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Prostate cancer, Heart disease — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tomato is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tomato is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Prostate cancer.

The evidence on lycopene for the conditions studied is thin. It's rated possibly ineffective for bladder cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes.

For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), exercise-induced asthma, and benign prostate enlargement (BPH), there simply isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it works. If you're considering this for one of those conditions, talk it over with your doctor to see whether the data supports it for your situation.

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.

Tomato in normal food amounts is well tolerated, and tomato extracts also seem to be well tolerated in typical supplement doses. Pregnancy and lactation: the data rates tomato as likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Rare serious concerns exist only with excessive consumption of tomatine, a natural compound in tomato leaves and unripe green tomatoes — symptoms can include slow heart rate, diarrhea, breathing problems, spasms, and vomiting. At typical supplement doses, this isn't a realistic risk.

A small number of people may develop an airway allergy to tomato stem proteins, though that's distinct from a food allergy to the fruit itself.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a straight tomato-extract lycopene supplement with no known medication interactions. The evidence that it works for the major conditions it's marketed for — cancer, diabetes, prostate health — is either lacking or negative.

If you're curious about lycopene for a specific health goal, ask your doctor whether the current science supports it, and check with your pharmacist or doctor before you start.

Lycopene by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Lycopene by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Lycopene. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lycopene contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Tomato is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation based on the data we hold. That said, concentrated supplements are less studied than whole food, so talk it over with your OB or midwife to be sure it's right for you personally.
Does lycopene actually prevent prostate cancer or help an enlarged prostate?
The evidence we have isn't clear enough to say either way — it's rated insufficient evidence to rate for benign prostate enlargement. If prostate health is your goal, ask your doctor what the current science supports.
Can this help with diabetes or high cholesterol?
For both of those, we don't have enough reliable evidence to know whether lycopene makes a difference. Your doctor or dietitian can point you toward approaches with clearer support.
What's the difference between tomato and tomato fruit extract in this capsule?
Both are tomato-derived and both deliver lycopene. The extract is a concentrated form. Both are well tolerated in typical supplement amounts, though the safety data is better for whole tomato as food than for concentrated supplements.
Are there any side effects I should watch for?
Tomato extracts are generally well tolerated. Serious side effects — like slow heartbeat, spasms, or vomiting — only show up with excessive consumption of tomatine, a compound in tomato leaves and unripe green tomatoes, which isn't relevant at normal supplement doses. An airway allergy to tomato stem proteins is rare but possible.
Can I take this with my other medications?
No interactions are documented for the ingredients in this product. Even so, it's smart to run your exact medications through the checker on this page or confirm with your pharmacist before you start.
