Broccoli Powder – Sulforaphane (10%) Brassica oleracea italica
Sulforaphane is a sulfur-rich compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, bok choy and cabbage. It is activated when vegetables are chopped or chewed. The highest levels of sulforaphane are found in raw vegetables.
Research indicates that broccoli extract provides sulforaphane which has a range of health benefits, including detoxification by neutralizing toxins and assisting the body in elimination and anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation has been linked to cancer development and mutations in DNA that can lead to cancer. This sulfur-based compound has also been shown to reduce the ability of cancer cells to multiply. Due to this phytochemical’s anti-inflammatory properties, it can benefit the cardiovascular system and support heart health. Inflammation can lead to narrowing of the arteries due to plaque buildup.

Ingredient Benefits
Supports hormone balance
Sulforaphane can attach to estrogen receptors to block harmful estrogens. It also induces phase II liver detoxification enzymes and increases glutathione production, which is the master antioxidant in the body, this process helps remove “spent” hormones that need to be eliminated from the body to avoid recirculation.
Promotes a healthy inflammatory response
Sulforaphane has a positive effect on the signaling pathways related to inflammatory responses. This compound inhibits the inflammatory response of human T cells. Sulforaphane also assists the liver in neutralizing toxins and ridding them from the body which takes the pressure off the immune system to not set off a cascade of inflammatory symptoms.
Aids in detoxification
With increasing amounts of pollutants and toxins in the environment, it is important to have a well working detoxification system to ensure excretion of these damaging molecules to help reduce the risk of disease. Sulforaphane influences the enzymes involved in the liver’s phase II detoxification pathways and promotes toxin elimination
Some other benefits of this plant chemical include helping to reduce skin redness and inflammation after ultraviolet radiation exposure. Sulforaphane can help heal traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) by reducing swelling, increasing blood flow to the area, as well as activating pathways that reduce oxidative stress.
Studies on humans and animals have determined that sulforaphane effectively reduces fasting blood sugar levels and improves long-term blood sugar control markers.
