HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene 50 by New You Vitamins

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Lycopene 50 contains one active ingredient: lycopene, a plant pigment found naturally in red and pink fruits like tomatoes. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and microcrystalline cellulose, which are inactive fillers.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Lycopene's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant support and heart health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Atherosclerosis, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, oxidative stress, cardiovascular protection.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lycopene is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Atherosclerosis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lycopene is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension.

Lycopene shows possibly effective evidence for prostate cancer. For bladder cancer and diabetes, the evidence rates it as possibly ineffective.

The data we hold doesn't establish reliable evidence for its use in high cholesterol, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), or exercise-induced asthma.

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. Gastrointestinal side effects — including diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and loss of appetite — have been reported with supplements.

One case of chest pain was reported in a pregnant patient taking a lycopene product, though lycopene's role in that event wasn't established. Based on the safety data, lycopene supplements in pregnancy and breastfeeding should be avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise, even though food amounts are fine.

There isn't enough study data on supplements in either situation.

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 taking Lycopene 50, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — including warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or similar medications. Lycopene may increase bleeding risk when combined with these.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lycopene 50 is worth considering if you're interested in prostate cancer support and you don't take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. If you do take those medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first — the interaction risk is real, even if it's not guaranteed to happen.

Watch for stomach upset, and chat with your healthcare provider before taking it during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Lycopene 50 by New You Vitamins: Common Questions

Does Lycopene 50 by New You Vitamins interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lycopene 50 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 50 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.
What is lycopene and where does it come from?
Lycopene is a plant pigment that gives red and pink fruits — like tomatoes — their color. This supplement is a concentrated form of that naturally occurring compound.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against lycopene supplements in pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Food amounts are fine, but there isn't enough study data on supplements. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What side effects does lycopene have?
Stomach upset is the most common concern — diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and loss of appetite have all been reported. A single case of chest pain was reported in a pregnant woman taking a lycopene product, though the connection wasn't proven.
Does lycopene actually work for prostate cancer?
The evidence rates it as possibly effective for prostate cancer, meaning there's some support but it's not definitive. For bladder cancer and diabetes, the evidence leans toward it being ineffective. We don't have reliable data for high cholesterol, ALS, or exercise-induced asthma.
Why can't I take this with blood thinners?
Lab research shows lycopene thins the blood on its own. If you combine it with medications like warfarin or aspirin that do the same thing, you could raise your bleeding risk — that's a Moderate concern. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you decide if it's safe for you.
