HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Natural Lycopene 10 mg 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.

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 10 mg, a carotenoid (plant pigment) that gives tomatoes and certain other red and pink fruits their color. It comes in a base of rice bran oil, gelatin, glycerin, and purified water.

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: Prostate support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), Prostate cancer, Prostate health, Urinary symptoms.
  • 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 Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).

The evidence for lycopene is mixed. It's rated Possibly Effective for prostate cancer — meaning there's some research support, but it's not conclusive yet.

For bladder cancer and diabetes, the evidence leans toward Possibly Ineffective. For high cholesterol, exercise-induced asthma, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig's disease), we don't have enough reliable data to say either way.

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. The most common side effects in supplement users are gastrointestinal: diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and loss of appetite.

There's also one reported case of chest pain in a pregnant person taking a lycopene product, though the supplement's role in that event wasn't confirmed. Food amounts of lycopene are fine in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, but supplement safety data is limited.

If you're pregnant or nursing and interested in trying this, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, and similar medications). Lycopene may increase bleeding risk when combined with these medications.

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.

Natural Lycopene may help with prostate cancer on the basis of current research, though results aren't definitive. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the combination could increase bleeding risk.

Otherwise, it's generally well tolerated, though it may cause mild digestive upset. Run this against your exact medications on this page.

Natural Lycopene 10 mg by Botanic Choice: Common Questions

Does Natural Lycopene 10 mg by Botanic Choice interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Natural Lycopene 10 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?
Natural Lycopene 10 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.
Can I take this lycopene if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Food amounts of lycopene are fine during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, supplement safety hasn't been well studied in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding a lycopene supplement — they can tell you whether it's the right choice for you.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people tolerate lycopene supplements well. The main side effects are digestive — diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, or loss of appetite. These are usually mild and go away with continued use or dose adjustment.
Does lycopene work for prostate cancer?
The evidence says Possibly Effective — meaning there's some research backing it, but it's not definitive yet. Lycopene is not a proven cancer treatment and should never replace standard medical care. Ask your doctor if it might be a reasonable addition to your care plan.
Is this supplement helpful for diabetes?
The evidence for lycopene and diabetes leans toward Possibly Ineffective, so the research so far doesn't support that use.
What is lycopene and where does it come from?
Lycopene is a natural pigment (carotenoid) that gives tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, and other fruits their red and pink color. This supplement extracts and concentrates it into a 10 mg softgel dose.
