HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene 10 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe
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 from tomato extract, at 10 mg per softgel. Lycopene is a natural red pigment found in tomatoes and other plants; it's a carotenoid (a type of plant compound) that may have antioxidant properties.
The softgels also contain inactive ingredients—gelatin, rice bran oil, glycerin, purified water, medium chain triglycerides, yellow beeswax, and silica—which help deliver and stabilize the lycopene.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for lycopene is mixed and often falls short of what we'd need to recommend it confidently. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective.
For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and exercise-induced asthma, there simply isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it helps. If you're considering this supplement for a specific health goal, that's a conversation worth having with your doctor.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lycopene from tomato extract is generally well tolerated at typical supplement doses. Eating tomatoes as food is safe for most people, and tomato extracts in supplements also appear to be well tolerated.
However, the safety data on concentrated lycopene supplements is less robust than it is for whole tomatoes, so the product labeling advises against high-dose supplements unless your doctor recommends them. One rare case reported an airborne allergy to tomato stem proteins (not the fruit itself) in a person without a tomato food allergy.
Tomatine, a compound in tomato leaves and unripe green tomatoes, can cause serious effects like heart rhythm problems, vomiting, and dizziness if consumed in very large amounts, though ripe tomato fruit as used in this extract is not a typical source of concern at normal doses.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for lycopene. That doesn't mean interactions can't occur—the research on this supplement and medications is still developing.
Check your exact medications using the tool on this page or with your pharmacist before you start.
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 supplement may appeal to you if you're interested in lycopene as a general antioxidant, though the research doesn't yet show it's effective for the conditions most often studied. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, lycopene from tomato is rated likely safe.
Before you start, especially if you take any medications, check with your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your health picture.
