HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopene & Lutein Complex 50 mg by NusaPure

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Lycopene and Lutein Proprietary Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (50 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: lycopene and lutein. Lycopene is a red pigment (carotenoid) found in tomatoes and other red fruits, and lutein is a yellow pigment (xanthophyll carotenoid) found in leafy greens and other vegetables.

Both are plant compounds your body doesn't make on its own, so they come from diet or supplements. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour — which help hold and deliver the active 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Prostate cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lycopene) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lutein) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Cataracts — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lutein) (Natural Medicines).

Lycopene is possibly effective for prostate cancer, but the evidence is considered possibly ineffective for bladder cancer and diabetes. For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), exercise-triggered asthma, and ALS, there is not enough reliable evidence to rate it either way.

Lutein is possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration (vision loss as you age) and cataracts. For retinitis pigmentosa, vision problems in premature infants, and two other rare eye and lung conditions, it is considered possibly ineffective, and the evidence is insufficient for the remaining conditions listed in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene Lutein

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.

Lycopene from food is considered safe, and supplement doses are generally well tolerated. However, if you're pregnant, the safety data on lycopene supplements is limited — food amounts are fine, but talk with your doctor before taking a supplement.

The same goes for breastfeeding: food amounts are okay, but there isn't enough safety data on supplement doses. Lutein from food and typical supplement doses is generally well tolerated — doses up to 20 mg daily have not caused adverse effects in trials.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, lutein is considered likely safe. Lycopene and lutein supplements can cause mild digestive side effects, including diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, or indigestion in some people.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene Lutein

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 any anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication — including prescription blood thinners like warfarin or dabigatran, or over-the-counter aspirin — check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product. Lycopene may increase the bleeding risk when combined with these medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in eye health (lutein) or prostate support (lycopene), though the evidence for these uses is modest. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — lycopene can theoretically increase bleeding risk.

Talk it over with your healthcare provider to see if it fits your health plan.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lycopene & Lutein Complex 50 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 & Lutein Complex 50 mg 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.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Lycopene supplements have limited safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding — food amounts are fine, but the safety of supplements hasn't been well studied, so talk with your doctor first. Lutein is considered likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding based on available data.
What does lutein actually do?
Lutein is a yellow plant pigment that concentrates in the retina (the light-sensing part of your eye). Research shows it's possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts — two conditions that cloud or damage vision as you age.
What's lycopene used for in this supplement?
Lycopene is the red pigment in tomatoes. This product uses it because research suggests it may be possibly effective for prostate cancer, though the evidence is still being built.
Could this supplement upset my stomach?
Yes, lycopene supplements can cause digestive side effects like diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, or indigestion in some people. Lutein is generally well tolerated even at higher doses.
Does this product have any fillers or other ingredients I should know about?
The capsule contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour — which are common binders and flow agents. If you have sensitivities to any of these, check the label or talk with your pharmacist.
Will this help my vision?
Lutein in this product is possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. If you have other eye concerns or conditions, talk with your doctor about whether this supplement makes sense for your situation.
