HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lyco-Sorb 10 mg by Jarrow Formulas

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.

Lyco-Sorb 10 mg is a single-ingredient softgel containing 10 mg of lycopene, a red pigment found naturally in tomatoes and other plants. The softgel itself is made up of a blend of soy lecithin, medium-chain triglycerides, soybean oil, beeswax, mixed tocopherols, and carob and caramel extracts — all inactive ingredients that help deliver and preserve the lycopene.

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 Lycopene's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Lycopene for:

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“antioxidant 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: Prostate cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Lycopene is possibly effective for prostate cancer support. For bladder cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and exercise-induced asthma, the evidence in our data is either possibly ineffective or too limited to say whether it works.

If you're considering this supplement for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor to see if the evidence fits your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene

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.

Lycopene from food is considered safe, and supplement doses at this level are generally well tolerated. The most common side effects from supplements are gastrointestinal — diarrhea, gas, stomach bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and loss of appetite.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data on lycopene supplements is limited. While food amounts of lycopene are fine, supplement use in pregnancy and lactation hasn't been well studied.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this while pregnant or nursing so you can make a decision that fits your situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene

Meds to double-check

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 — Lycopene.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — prescription or over-the-counter, including aspirin — check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting Lyco-Sorb. Lab evidence suggests lycopene may increase bleeding risk when combined with these medications.

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.

Lyco-Sorb is a straightforward lycopene supplement that may help support prostate health, though the evidence is still being built. If you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet medications, you must check with your own doctor or pharmacist first — the combination could raise your bleeding risk.

For pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any other health question about this product, run it by your healthcare provider before you start.

Lyco-Sorb 10 mg by Jarrow Formulas: Common Questions

Does Lyco-Sorb 10 mg by Jarrow Formulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lyco-Sorb 10 mg has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lyco-Sorb 10 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 if I'm pregnant?
The safety data on lycopene supplements during pregnancy is limited. While lycopene from food is fine, we don't have enough evidence on supplements. Talk with your doctor before taking it so you can decide what's right for your pregnancy.
What side effects might I get?
Most side effects from lycopene are stomach-related: diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite. These happen in some people but not all. If you notice any of these, mention it to your pharmacist.
Does lycopene actually work for prostate health?
The evidence suggests it's possibly effective for prostate cancer, which means there's some support but it's not conclusive. For other conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol, the evidence is either limited or points the other way. Chat with your doctor about whether it fits into your health plan.
Why is this a softgel instead of a tablet?
Lycopene is a fat-soluble nutrient, meaning your body absorbs it better with fat. The softgel formulation uses oils and other fats to help your body take it up more effectively.
Is there soy in this product?
Yes — the softgel contains soy lecithin and soybean oil. If you have a soy allergy, this product is not for you. Check the label and talk with your pharmacist if you're unsure.
