HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene by NutriONN

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.

This softgel contains one active ingredient: lycopene, a red pigment naturally found in tomatoes and other plants. It's the carotenoid (plant pigment) that gives tomatoes their color.

The softgel shell and fill include soybean oil, gelatin, corn oil, glycerin, beeswax, and purified water as inactive ingredients to hold and deliver the lycopene.

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 for blood pressure, eye, heart and prostate health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypertension, Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Cataracts, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Atherosclerosis, Hyperlipidemia — 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.

The evidence for lycopene varies by use. For prostate cancer it's possibly effective — a fair amount of research suggests it may help, but the data isn't definitive.

For bladder cancer and diabetes, it's rated possibly ineffective based on the evidence we hold. For cholesterol management, exercise-induced asthma, and Lou Gehrig's disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say 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. However, gastrointestinal side effects can occur — some people experience diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, or loss of appetite.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data on supplements is limited; food amounts are fine, but there isn't enough information on supplement safety during pregnancy or nursing — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

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 this supplement, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs — these include warfarin, apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, aspirin, clopidogrel, and related medications. Lycopene may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with these drugs.

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.

NutriONN Lycopene is worth considering if you're interested in prostate health support and aren't taking blood thinners or antiplatelet medications. If you take any clot-prevention drugs, check your specific medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Gastrointestinal upset is possible, and if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss this supplement with your healthcare provider first.
