HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Prostate Support by GNC SuperFoods

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

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 product contains one active ingredient: lycopene, a red carotenoid compound found in tomatoes and other plant foods. Lycopene is what gives certain foods their color and is thought to act as an antioxidant in the body.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—cellulose, vegetable cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and chlorophyll—which help form and preserve the supplement.

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 health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), Prostate cancer, urinary function, male genitourinary health.
  • 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's effectiveness varies by condition. For prostate cancer, the data suggests it may be helpful—rated possibly effective.

For bladder cancer and diabetes, the research points toward it being possibly ineffective. For high cholesterol, exercise-induced asthma, and ALS (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. If you take the supplement, the most common side effects are gastrointestinal: diarrhea, flatulence, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and loss of appetite.

One case of chest pain was reported in a pregnant patient taking a specific lycopene product, though a direct link to lycopene wasn't established. The safety data advises against lycopene supplements in pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor specifically recommends it—food amounts are fine.

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.

Double-check this supplement before starting if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or ibuprofen at anti-inflammatory doses). Lycopene may increase bleeding risk 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.

This supplement may be worth considering if you're looking into prostate cancer support and want to explore what the evidence suggests. However, if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first—the interaction risk is real.

Talk it over with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any regular medications.

Prostate Support by GNC SuperFoods: Common Questions

Does Prostate Support by GNC SuperFoods interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Prostate Support 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?
Prostate Support 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 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against lycopene supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor advises otherwise. Lycopene from food is fine; it's the supplement form that hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's best for you.
What side effects might I notice?
Most side effects are gastrointestinal: diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite. These are the ones people have reported taking lycopene supplements.
Does this work for prostate health?
For prostate cancer specifically, the evidence suggests lycopene may be helpful—it's rated possibly effective. For other prostate conditions, the data we have doesn't address those uses.
Is this safe if I take aspirin or other blood thinners?
This needs a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first. Lycopene can theoretically increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, and that's a moderate-level concern. Check your exact medications before starting.
Why does this supplement have so many inactive ingredients?
The inactive ingredients—like cellulose, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate—are standard excipients that help form the capsule, keep it stable, and make it easier to swallow. They're not active ingredients, just the matrix that holds the lycopene.
