HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tomato Power Lycopene 15 mg by Bronson Laboratories

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 Lycopene at 15 mg per softgel. Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits — it's what gives them their color.

The softgel also holds several inactive ingredients (rice bran oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, medium chain triglycerides, yellow beeswax, and silica) that help deliver the lycopene.

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?
  • The label markets general wellness (“Antioxidant support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • 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. It's possibly effective for prostate cancer, meaning there's some encouraging research but it's not conclusive.

For bladder cancer, diabetes, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), the evidence either suggests it's ineffective or isn't reliable enough to rate. For amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and exercise-induced asthma, we don't have enough good data yet to know 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. That said, when people do report side effects from lycopene supplements, they tend to be gastrointestinal — diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and loss of appetite are the ones documented.

A case of chest pain was reported in one pregnant woman taking a specific lycopene product, though whether lycopene caused it remains unclear.

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.

Before you start Tomato Power Lycopene, double-check any anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications you take — this includes blood thinners like warfarin and newer anticoagulants, as well as aspirin and clopidogrel. Lycopene may theoretically increase bleeding risk with these drugs.

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.

This supplement might be worth considering if you're interested in prostate cancer prevention and want to explore natural options. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications, check with your pharmacist first — the interaction is theoretical but worth discussing.

Food amounts of lycopene are fine in pregnancy and breastfeeding, but supplement safety isn't well studied, so talk with your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.

Tomato Power Lycopene 15 mg by Bronson Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Tomato Power Lycopene 15 mg by Bronson Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tomato Power Lycopene 15 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?
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 does lycopene actually do?
Lycopene is a pigment from tomatoes and other red fruits. Research suggests it might help prevent prostate cancer, though the evidence isn't ironclad yet. For other conditions like bladder cancer and diabetes, the evidence hasn't panned out, and for some uses there just isn't enough data.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Food amounts of lycopene are fine, but supplements haven't been well studied in pregnancy. The safety data advises against taking supplements unless your doctor says otherwise. Talk with them before starting this.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this?
Lycopene from food is fine while breastfeeding, but there isn't enough safety data on supplement doses. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you right now.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most reported side effects are digestive — diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or loss of appetite. These tend to be mild, but if they show up, let your pharmacist know.
Is this the same as eating tomatoes?
Both contain lycopene, but this supplement gives you a concentrated dose — 15 mg per capsule. You'd have to eat a lot of tomatoes to match that amount, so if you're looking for a focused intake, the supplement is more convenient.
