HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tomato Power by Bronson

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.
  • “Tomato fruit extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (143 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: lycopene, a red pigment from tomatoes. Lycopene is a carotenoid — a plant compound your body can convert to vitamin A — that acts as an antioxidant.

The product also includes tomato fruit extract, a blend of tomato components that deliver additional beneficial compounds from the fruit. The rest of the capsule is made up of rice bran oil, glycerin, purified water, MCT oil, beeswax, and silica — these are inactive ingredients that help form and stabilize the softgel.

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 Lycopene's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Lycopene 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 ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Prostate cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for lycopene is mixed. For prostate cancer, the data suggests it's possibly effective — meaning there's some promising research, but it's not yet conclusive.

For bladder cancer, the evidence points to it being possibly ineffective. For diabetes and high cholesterol, the research is too sparse or conflicting to rate how well it works.

The same goes for exercise-induced asthma and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — we simply don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether lycopene helps.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tomato 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. In trials, some people reported gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhea, gas, stomach bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite.

There is one reported case of chest pain in a pregnant woman taking a specific lycopene product, though the role of lycopene in that event wasn't confirmed. Because lycopene supplements haven't been well studied in pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data advises against taking this product unless your doctor advises otherwise — food amounts are fine, but we don't have enough data on supplements during these periods.

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 taking Tomato Power, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs — lycopene may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with these medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're interested in lycopene for prostate cancer support and you're not on blood thinners, this product may be worth discussing with your doctor. Anyone taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs should check with their pharmacist or doctor before starting it — the bleeding risk is real enough to warrant a conversation.

Talk it over with your own healthcare provider to see if it fits your situation.

Tomato Power by Bronson: Common Questions

Does Tomato Power by Bronson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tomato Power 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?
Tomato Power 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.
What is lycopene and where does it come from?
Lycopene is a red plant pigment and antioxidant that's abundant in tomatoes and tomato products. Your body can convert it to vitamin A, and it's what gives tomatoes their color. This supplement concentrates that compound so you get more of it per dose than you'd get from eating tomatoes alone.
Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin?
Lab research suggests lycopene may have antiplatelet effects, which could theoretically raise bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. This is important enough to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can tell you whether it's safe for your specific situation and medications.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people tolerate lycopene well, but some trial participants reported gastrointestinal side effects including diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite. If you notice any of these, stop and talk to your pharmacist.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Lycopene from food is fine, but supplements haven't been well studied during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so the safety data advises against it unless your doctor advises otherwise. Talk with your doctor or midwife about whether this product is right for you in these periods.
Does lycopene really help with prostate cancer?
The research is promising enough to call it possibly effective, but it's not yet conclusive — meaning there's some solid evidence, but we need more. If you're considering it for prostate health, talk it over with your doctor to see how it might fit into your overall care.
