Biomed Strong Broccoli, 30 caps

The product

Novelty! The combination of broccoli powder and mustard seed powder ensures optimal formation and absorption of sulforaphane. A daily dose of 1 capsule is equivalent to 300 g of fresh, uncooked broccoli. Manufactured with natural methods using a patented process. Glucoraphanin is a precursor of sulforaphane. Powerful combination: glucoraphanin + mustard seed powder. The myrosinase enzyme in mustard seed powder maximizes the formation and absorption of sulforaphane.

How sulforaphane forms

Sulforaphane is formed especially when broccoli or its sprouts are chewed. In this case, the myrosinase enzyme contained in broccoli is activated and converts glucoraphanin into its active form, sulforaphane. The intestinal microflora also converts glucoraphanin into sulforaphane.

Cooked versus raw

Cooked broccoli contains significantly less sulforaphane than raw broccoli or broccoli sprouts. The myrosinase enzyme, which is responsible for the formation of sulforaphane, is destroyed by excessive heating, and therefore it is only worth lightly steaming the broccoli for approx. 3-5 minutes, so that the active ingredients are preserved as well as possible without being destroyed.

Broccoli powder + mustard seed powder

1 capsule contains as much active substance (glucoraphanin) as 300 g of fresh, uncooked broccoli. By combining broccoli powder with mustard seed powder containing the myrosinase enzyme, sulforaphane formation and absorption is maximized. The glucoraphanin (precursor of sulforaphane) contained in broccoli powder is manufactured using a natural patented process. This extract contains the strongest concentration of glucoraphanin on the market (13%).

Research background

Since 1997, the manufacturer of the powder has cooperated with researchers at Johns Hopkins University to promote research on glucoraphanin and sulforaphane and their potential health effects.
