HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene 10 mg by NOW
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: Lycopene (10 mg per softgel), delivered as Lyc-O-Mato, a proprietary extract from tomato fruit. The softgel is rounded out with inactive ingredients — extra virgin olive oil, bovine gelatin, glycerin, and water — that help deliver and preserve the nutrient.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for lycopene in several common conditions is limited. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes, the data suggests it's probably not effective.
For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate), and exercise-induced asthma, there isn't enough reliable evidence to know one way or the other. If you're considering this product for any of those reasons, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current science actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tomato as a food is generally well tolerated, and tomato extracts also seem to be well tolerated at typical supplement doses. That said, concentrated lycopene supplements haven't been as thoroughly studied as whole tomatoes, so caution is advised with high-dose products unless your clinician has recommended one.
In rare cases, some people have reported an airborne allergy to tomato stem proteins (not the fruit itself). Tomatine, a compound found in tomato leaves and green tomatoes, can cause serious side effects like dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and vomiting only at excessive doses well beyond what you'd get in this supplement.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the medications we checked with this ingredient.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're looking at lycopene for heart health or prostate support and want a tomato-based source with minimal interaction risk, this could be worth a try — but know the evidence for most conditions is weak or unstudied. If you have a known tomato allergy or are pregnant or nursing, talk with your pharmacist first; pregnancy and lactation data show it's likely safe, but it's good to confirm for your situation.
