Sulforaphane (Broccoli extract) Description

Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring compound found in cruciferous vegetables, particularly in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and kale. It is especially abundant in broccoli sprouts. Sulforaphane is a type of isothiocyanate, a group of compounds known for their potential health benefits, particularly their anti-cancer and antioxidant properties. It is derived from its precursor glucoraphanin, which is converted into sulforaphane by the enzyme myrosinase when the plant is chopped or chewed.
