Broccoli sprout concentrate provides glucoraphanin, a compound the body turns into sulforaphane. Whole broccoli and regular sprouts contain far less glucoraphanin than this standardized extract. The compound helps activate the body's natural phase II detox pathways through Nrf2.
People use this supplement to support antioxidant defenses and healthy blood sugar metabolism. Many take capsules or powder to promote cellular health and fend off oxidative stress.
Take the supplement on an empty stomach for best results. Food can interfere with the conversion of glucoraphanin into sulforaphane. Follow the dosing instructions on your product label, as amounts of glucoraphanin vary between brands.
