Broccoli Seed Extract (13% Glucoraphanin) is a Specialty supplement available in 1 form.

Not all forms of Broccoli Seed Extract (13% Glucoraphanin) are equal. The form you choose determines how much Broccoli Seed Extract (13% Glucoraphanin) actually reaches your tissues, and the difference between the best and worst forms can be substantial. TrueBroc® is a standardized broccoli seed extract with 13% glucoraphanin, the stable precursor to sulforaphane, offering superior stability and consistent potency compared to direct sulforaphane preparations. Research supports glucoraphanin's conversion to sulforaphane via gut microbiota, activating the Nrf2 pathway to promote healthy cellular defense and detoxification enzyme activity.

TrueBroc® SGS Broccoli Seed Extract (13% Glucoraphanin) Preferred (Preferred Form) has a bioavailability rating of good absorption.

TrueBroc is a patented broccoli seed extract standardized to 13% glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is one of the most potent natural activators of the Nrf2 pathway, which governs cellular antioxidant and detoxification defenses. Research supports its role in liver health, inflammatory response, and cellular protection.

In a randomized double-blind crossover (n=16), glucoraphanin co-delivered with myrosinase doubled sulforaphane bioavailability (39.8% vs 18.6%) measured by urinary metabolites. PMID: 41692762

In a human crossover, sulforaphane plasma/urinary bioavailability was dramatically lower from a myrosinase-inactive broccoli supplement than from fresh sprouts. PMID: 21816223

Human subjects (200 umol SFN/day) showed ~3x higher sulforaphane plasma/urinary metabolite levels from fresh sprouts than from a broccoli sprout extract. PMID: 25522265
