HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene 15 mg by DC

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 softgel contains 2 active ingredients: lycopene and rice bran oil. Lycopene is a red pigment found naturally in tomatoes and other fruits; rice bran oil is pressed from the outer layer of rice grain.

The softgel itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, purified water, MCT oil, beeswax, and silica.

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 its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients 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 ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Prostate cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lycopene) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Dyslipidemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Rice Bran) (Natural Medicines).

Lycopene is possibly effective for prostate cancer risk, based on available evidence. For other conditions—bladder cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, ALS, and exercise-induced asthma—the evidence is either possibly ineffective or insufficient to rate.

Rice bran oil is possibly effective for dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipids), but is possibly ineffective for colorectal cancer, and we don't have enough evidence to rate it for hair loss (alopecia areata).

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rice Bran 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lycopene supplements are generally well tolerated, though some people report gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhea, flatulence, stomach bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite. Rice bran, when added to the diet in larger amounts, can cause temporary stomach discomfort, gas, and changes in bowel habits, especially in the first few weeks.

Allergic reactions to rice bran are rare but can occur, including hives, swelling, wheezing, itching, or cough; anaphylaxis has been reported in case reports. For pregnancy, lycopene at food amounts is considered likely safe, and supplements appear likely safe, though supplement safety data is limited.

Rice bran oil is likely safe in pregnancy. Breastfeeding safety data for lycopene supplements is not well studied; food amounts are fine.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rice Bran 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 2 matched ingredients 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you use anticoagulants (blood thinners like warfarin) or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel). Lycopene may theoretically increase bleeding risk 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.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in prostate cancer support through lycopene, though the evidence is modest. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—there's a theoretical increased bleeding risk.

Some people experience mild digestive effects. Check with your own healthcare provider to make sure this product fits your individual health picture.

Lycopene 15 mg by DC: Common Questions

Does Lycopene 15 mg by DC interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lycopene 15 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?
Lycopene 15 mg 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.
Will this give me stomach problems?
Some people do experience digestive side effects—diarrhea, gas, bloating, or nausea—from lycopene supplements. Rice bran can cause temporary stomach discomfort and changes in bowel habits, especially when you first increase your intake. These effects are usually mild and often settle down.
Is it safe to take while I'm pregnant?
Lycopene from food is safe, and supplements appear likely safe in pregnancy based on available data, though study data is limited. Rice bran oil is also likely safe. Still, talk with your doctor before starting any supplement while pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Lycopene at food amounts is fine, but there isn't enough safety data on supplement doses while breastfeeding to be certain. Check with your doctor or pharmacist.
What exactly is lycopene?
Lycopene is a red pigment found naturally in tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, and other fruits. Your body doesn't make it, so you get it from food or supplements.
Does this actually work for prostate cancer?
Lycopene is possibly effective for prostate cancer based on current evidence, meaning there's some promising research but it's not definitive. It shouldn't replace standard medical care—talk with your doctor about how a supplement like this fits into your overall plan.
What if I'm allergic to rice?
Rice bran allergies are rare, but they do happen. Symptoms include hives, itching, swelling, wheezing, or cough. If you've had a reaction to rice or rice products before, skip this product and talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
