HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene 30 mg by SuperSmart

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Lycopene” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (30 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: lycopene, delivered as LycoBeads S Beadlets at 30 mg per capsule. Lycopene is a red pigment found naturally in tomatoes, watermelon, and pink grapefruit.

The capsule also contains acacia gum and white rice bran as inactive ingredients.

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: Lycopene supplement.
  • We looked for evidence on: Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Prostate cancer, Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — and 4 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), Atherosclerosis, Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Cardiovascular disease (CVD), and more.

Lycopene is possibly effective for prostate cancer according to the evidence we hold. For bladder cancer and diabetes, the available data suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), exercise-induced asthma, and ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to know whether it works.

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. Some people report gastrointestinal side effects with lycopene supplements — diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite — though they're not universal.

Supplement doses of lycopene are not well studied in pregnancy, so the data advises against using supplements unless your doctor recommends it; food amounts are fine. There isn't enough safety data on supplements while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this dose is right for you.

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.

If you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs — such as warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel, or aspirin for heart protection — double-check with your pharmacist before adding lycopene. It may increase bleeding risk (Moderate severity).

No other interaction types are documented for the ingredients we could check.

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 may help with prostate cancer support, but the evidence for other conditions is weak or absent. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check with your pharmacist first.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding require a conversation with your doctor before starting a supplement.
