HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene 15 mg by Swiss BioEnergetics

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Oct 1, 2026

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: lycopene 15 mg, a red carotenoid (pigment) found in tomatoes and other red plants. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, tomato powder, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and maltodextrin—which are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together.

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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant support for healthy eyes and systemic health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Cataracts, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Prostate cancer — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lycopene is rated "Possibly Effective" for Prostate cancer (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lycopene is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Cataracts, and more.

The evidence for lycopene is mixed and incomplete. It's rated possibly effective for prostate cancer—meaning some evidence points that way, but it's not definitive.

For bladder cancer and diabetes, it's rated possibly ineffective. For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), exercise-induced asthma, and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't.

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 are generally well tolerated. When taken by mouth, some people report gastrointestinal side effects—diarrhea, gas, belly bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite—though these aren't universal.

One case report noted chest pain in a pregnant woman taking a different lycopene product at a much lower dose, but whether lycopene caused it isn't clear. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, food amounts are fine, but supplement safety hasn't been well studied; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before taking supplements while pregnant or nursing.

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.

Before you start, double-check any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs you take—including prescription anticoagulants, aspirin, and over-the-counter pain relievers used for clot prevention. Lycopene may theoretically increase bleeding risk with these medicines, so your doctor or pharmacist needs to weigh in.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lycopene 15 mg might be worth considering if you're interested in prostate health support, though evidence is incomplete. If you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet medications—including aspirin, warfarin, or prescription clot preventers—you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Same goes if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a sensitive stomach. Use the medication checker below to confirm nothing you're taking conflicts.

Lycopene 15 mg by Swiss BioEnergetics: Common Questions

Does Lycopene 15 mg by Swiss BioEnergetics 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 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.
Does lycopene actually prevent prostate cancer?
The evidence suggests it might help, but it's not certain—that's why it's rated possibly effective. We'd need stronger research to know for sure. Talk with your doctor about whether it fits your health goals.
What's the difference between getting lycopene from tomatoes versus this supplement?
Tomatoes and tomato products are safe in normal amounts. This supplement at 15 mg is a concentrated dose, and that higher amount hasn't been studied as thoroughly—which is why caution applies during pregnancy and breastfeeding, even though food amounts are fine.
Can lycopene upset my stomach?
Some people report gas, diarrhea, nausea, or indigestion when taking lycopene supplements. It's not common, but it happens. If your stomach is already sensitive, start low and see how you feel.
Is it safe to take while pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data on supplements during pregnancy to be certain either way. Food amounts of lycopene are fine, but you'll want to talk with your doctor before taking this supplement—they can advise based on your specific situation.
What's in the capsule besides lycopene?
The capsule contains tomato powder, cellulose, and a few binders and fillers to hold it together. None of these are the active ingredient—lycopene is what you're taking it for.
