HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene 15 mg by Wonder Laboratories

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 plants; it's thought to work as an antioxidant in your body.

Rice bran oil comes from the outer layer of rice grains and is included here as a carrier to help your body absorb the lycopene. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, purified water, medium chain triglycerides, yellow beeswax, and silica — all inactive ingredients that help form and fill the softgel.

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: support healthy heart and prostate function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Prostate cancer, Dyslipidemia, Atherosclerosis, Prostatitis — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lycopene is rated "Possibly Effective" for Prostate cancer (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rice Bran is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyslipidemia.
  • Also on file: Lycopene is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Atherosclerosis, Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).

The data we hold shows lycopene is possibly effective for prostate cancer prevention. For other conditions — bladder cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, ALS, and exercise-induced asthma — either the evidence suggests it's not effective (bladder cancer) or there simply isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it yet.

Rice bran oil is possibly effective for high cholesterol and dyslipidemia, but possibly ineffective for colorectal cancer; there's insufficient evidence 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.

Both ingredients are generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. Rice bran can cause transient digestive effects — abdominal discomfort, gas, and erratic bowel habits — especially when you first increase your intake, though these usually pass.

Lycopene may cause diarrhea, gas, abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite. Allergic reactions to rice bran are rare but serious (urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis); stop and seek help immediately if you have trouble breathing, swelling, or hives.

For pregnancy: the data we hold rates lycopene as likely safe, while rice bran oil is also rated likely safe. For breastfeeding: lycopene is likely safe, but safety data on rice bran oil supplement doses during breastfeeding is insufficient — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing.

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.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel), clear this supplement with your doctor or pharmacist first — lycopene may increase bleeding risk. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check, but that doesn't guarantee none exist; your pharmacist can search your exact medications.

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.

This supplement may be worth considering if you're interested in prostate health or managing cholesterol, though the evidence is still emerging. If you take any blood thinners — such as warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel — or any antiplatelet medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Most people tolerate it well, but watch for digestive upset or any signs of bleeding. Chat with your own healthcare provider about whether it fits your situation.

Lycopene 15 mg by Wonder Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Lycopene 15 mg by Wonder Laboratories 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data we hold rates lycopene as likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Rice bran oil is also rated likely safe in pregnancy, but there isn't enough safety data on supplement doses while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most common are digestive: gas, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, or stomach discomfort. These often settle down after a few weeks. Stop and seek immediate help if you develop hives, swelling, or trouble breathing — those are rare signs of an allergic reaction.
Does lycopene actually work for prostate health?
The data shows lycopene is possibly effective for prostate cancer. That means there's some evidence it may help, but it's not yet proven conclusive. It's not a substitute for screenings or treatment your doctor recommends.
Will this help my cholesterol?
Rice bran oil in this product is possibly effective for high cholesterol. Lycopene doesn't have strong evidence for it yet. If cholesterol is a concern, talk with your doctor — this supplement may be one piece, but it's not a replacement for lifestyle changes or prescribed medication.
Why is there gelatin in a softgel capsule?
Gelatin is the material that forms the softgel shell itself — it's a common, inert ingredient that holds the oil and helps you swallow it. The other inactive ingredients (glycerin, wax, silica) help keep the capsule stable and easy to take.
