HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tomato Power Lycopene 15 mg 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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Tomato Power Lycopene contains one active ingredient: Lyc-O-Mato(TM), a tomato-based extract standardized to deliver 15 mg of lycopene per softgel. Lycopene is the red pigment found naturally in tomatoes and a few other fruits — it's what gives ripe tomatoes their color.

The softgel itself is rounded out with inactive ingredients (rice bran oil, gelatin, purified water, medium-chain triglycerides, yellow beeswax, and silica) that help deliver and stabilize the lycopene.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Tomato product and its label doesn't state a use — see Tomato's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for what lycopene can do is pretty spotty right now. For bladder cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes, the data suggests it's probably ineffective.

For high cholesterol, exercise-triggered asthma, and benign prostate enlargement, we just don't have enough reliable evidence to say one way or the other — more research is needed. If you're considering this supplement for a specific health goal, it's worth talking to your doctor about whether the current evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tomato

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.

Tomato as a food is well tolerated by most people, and tomato extracts in typical amounts also seem to be tolerated well. The real caution here is that high-dose lycopene or concentrated tomato supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly as whole tomatoes, so the long-term safety profile isn't as clear.

In rare cases, tomatine (a compound in tomato leaves and unripe green tomatoes) can cause serious side effects like slowed heart rate, diarrhea, breathing problems, or vomiting — but that's with excessive amounts, not typical supplemental doses. One case report described an airborne allergy to tomato stem proteins in a person who didn't react to tomato fruit itself.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Tomato Power Lycopene is a reasonable option if you're interested in lycopene supplementation and want to see whether it makes a difference for you. Just know the evidence for most conditions is weak or incomplete.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the data supports tomato as safe in those situations. Chat with your pharmacist if you have questions about whether this fits your health routine.

Tomato Power Lycopene 15 mg by Bronson: Common Questions

Does Tomato Power Lycopene 15 mg by Bronson interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Tomato Power Lycopene 15 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tomato Power Lycopene 15 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.
What is lycopene and why is it in this supplement?
Lycopene is the red pigment that gives ripe tomatoes their color. It's an antioxidant your body can absorb when you eat tomatoes or tomato products, including concentrated supplements like this one. Researchers have looked at whether it helps prevent certain cancers and manage cholesterol and diabetes, though the evidence so far is limited.
Does this supplement actually prevent cancer or help with cholesterol?
For bladder cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes, the evidence suggests lycopene supplements probably aren't effective. For high cholesterol, exercise-triggered asthma, and enlarged prostate, we don't yet have enough reliable data to say. If you're considering it for one of these conditions, ask your doctor whether it's worth trying given what we know right now.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes — tomato is rated as likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. Just remember this is a concentrated supplement, not the same as eating a tomato, and concentrated forms are less studied overall. Your doctor or midwife can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
What are the side effects?
Tomato extracts are generally well tolerated at typical doses. Serious side effects (like slowed heart rate, vomiting, or breathing trouble) are rare and only happen with excessive amounts of tomatine, a compound found mainly in tomato leaves and unripe green tomatoes — not in the extract in this supplement. One person did develop an airborne allergy to tomato stem proteins, which is uncommon.
Does this interact with my medications?
No interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient. That said, the evidence on concentrated lycopene supplements and drugs isn't as complete as for whole foods, so if you want to be extra careful, you can search your specific medications using the tool on this page.
Why should I buy this over eating tomatoes?
That's a fair question — we don't have strong evidence that the supplement works better than whole tomatoes. If you don't eat many tomatoes or prefer a concentrated dose, this might be convenient. But tomatoes themselves are studied more, have clear safety data, and come with other nutrients. Your pharmacist can help you think through whether a supplement makes sense for you.
