HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycozyme With Vegetable Enzymes by OL Olympian Labs Incorporated

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 1 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Vegetable Enzymes” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Lycozyme With Vegetable Enzymes contains five active ingredients: amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, and lycopene extract. The first four are digestive enzymes designed to help break down starches, proteins, fats, and plant fibers in food.

Lycopene is a carotenoid — a natural red pigment — extracted from plant sources. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (microcrystalline cellulose, rice flour, ascorbyl palmitate, and silica) that serve as fillers and stabilizers.

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).

The evidence for these ingredients is limited. Lycopene has been rated possibly effective for prostate cancer support, but possibly ineffective for bladder cancer and diabetes.

For the digestive enzymes in this product — protease, lipase, and the other enzymes — there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to establish whether they work for their intended digestive purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lipase

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease and lipase are generally well tolerated by most adults, though digestive upset can occur. Rarely, some people may have allergic reactions to proteolytic enzymes, particularly those with occupational exposure.

Lycopene from food is considered safe, and supplement doses are generally well tolerated; gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhea, nausea, or upset stomach are possible but not common. For pregnancy, the safety data advises against using this product unless your doctor recommends it — protease safety hasn't been established in pregnancy, lipase hasn't been well studied, and while lycopene supplements aren't well studied during pregnancy, food amounts are considered fine.

Breastfeeding safety is similar: there isn't enough data on the supplement form, so talk with your healthcare provider before using it.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lycopene Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lipase

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 3 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — lycopene has a documented moderate-severity interaction with these medications that could increase bleeding risk. No interactions are documented in our data for the other digestive enzymes we could check (protease and lipase).

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 combines digestive enzymes with lycopene, a plant compound studied for prostate health. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — lycopene may theoretically increase bleeding risk.

Even if you're not on those drugs, it's worth reviewing your full medication list on this page before you begin, and definitely talk it over with your healthcare provider if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a serious digestive condition.

Lycozyme With Vegetable Enzymes by OL Olympian Labs Incorporated: Common Questions

Does Lycozyme With Vegetable Enzymes by OL Olympian Labs Incorporated interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lycozyme With Vegetable Enzymes 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?
Lycozyme With Vegetable Enzymes contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 are the enzymes in this product supposed to do?
The four digestive enzymes — amylase, protease, lipase, and cellulase — are meant to help your body break down different components of food: starches, proteins, fats, and plant fibers. Whether the supplement doses actually improve digestion isn't well established in the evidence we hold.
Is this safe to take during pregnancy?
The safety data advises against using this product during pregnancy unless your doctor specifically recommends it. Protease safety hasn't been established, lipase hasn't been well studied, and while food amounts of lycopene are fine, supplement forms aren't well researched in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor before starting.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on these ingredients in supplement form while breastfeeding, so it's not recommended without medical advice. Check with your healthcare provider first.
What's lycopene and why is it in here?
Lycopene is a red pigment from plants — it's what makes tomatoes red. Research suggests it may help with prostate cancer, though the evidence isn't definitive. It's generally well tolerated, though it can occasionally cause mild digestive upset like diarrhea or nausea.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
The enzymes and lycopene are generally well tolerated, but digestive upset — including diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, or stomach discomfort — is possible. Allergic reactions to proteolytic enzymes are rare but have been reported. If you have a serious digestive condition, use only under medical guidance.
Does this product have fillers?
Yes, it contains inactive ingredients including microcrystalline cellulose, rice flour, ascorbyl palmitate, and silica — these are fillers and stabilizers that help make the capsule work.
