Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place.

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene by Botanic Choice
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: tomato extract, a concentrated form of lycopene and other tomato compounds. The supplement is delivered in a liquid form with MCT oil and vitamin E acetate as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold on tomato extract is mixed. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes, the data rates it as possibly ineffective.
For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), exercise-triggered asthma, and benign prostate enlargement, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tomato as a food is well tolerated by most people, and tomato extract supplements also seem to be well tolerated at typical doses. However, the data cautions that high-dose lycopene or extract supplements haven't been as thoroughly studied as whole tomatoes, so they're best used under professional guidance.
In rare cases, excessive amounts of tomatine (a compound in tomato leaves and unripe green tomatoes) can cause dizziness, headache, mild spasms, or more serious effects like vomiting or respiratory changes — though this is uncommon with standard supplement use. Airborne sensitivity to tomato stem proteins has been reported in one case, though food allergy to tomato fruit is separate.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, tomato extract is rated as likely safe based on the data we hold.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for tomato extract. That said, we hold no formal drug-interaction data for this ingredient, so ask your pharmacist or doctor to confirm it's safe with your specific medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Botanic Choice Lycopene is a single-ingredient tomato extract with limited evidence for most health claims. It's generally well tolerated at typical doses, but the data suggests high-dose supplements warrant a talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you use them regularly.
If you take any medications, check them against our tool or ask your pharmacist before starting.
