Broccoli Powder
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are packed with nutrients, but including enough of them in a busy lifestyle can be a challenge. Heat can degrade certain beneficial compounds in cooked broccoli, and raw broccoli can be difficult to eat in large amounts. This is where broccoli seed powder comes in—a concentrated form of this nutritious vegetable that aims to retain key vitamins, minerals, and, most importantly, sulforaphane precursors.
What Is Broccoli Powder
Broccoli powder is a concentrated form of broccoli that’s dried and ground into a fine powder, often used as a supplement to support overall health. It’s an easy way to get the benefits of broccoli without having to eat large amounts of the vegetable every day.
Most broccoli powders on the market are made from broccoli sprouts, not seeds. While sprouts are healthy, they can lose a large quantity of their nutrients during processing like drying and grinding. They also have less of the key compound glucoraphanin, which your body uses to make sulforaphane—a powerful ingredient linked to detox, inflammation control, and gut health.
Our broccoli seeds naturally contain much higher levels of glucoraphanin and also have the enzyme needed to activate it. That means you get more consistent and effective results. Broc Shot uses whole broccoli seed powder instead of sprout powder to give you a dose of active, natural sulforaphane that helps support detoxification, reduce inflammation, and improve gut health with every shot.
Why Opt For Broccoli Seed Powder
When it comes to getting the most out of a sulforaphane supplement, choosing broccoli seed powder over broccoli sprout or traditional broccoli powders makes a big difference. Most broccoli powders use sprouts, which require more processing and are more likely to lose glucoraphanin and myrosinase during drying and milling. Broccoli seeds, however, contain 30 times more glucoraphanin—the key compound needed to make sulforaphane—and already have the enzyme myrosinase, which activates it. We add an additional myrosinase source from horseradish root to give full-spectrum coverage and minimize any possible degradation of the enzyme. This means you get a more reliable, consistent dose in every serving.
Here’s why Broc Shot’s broccoli seed powder stands out:
- Higher potency: More glucoraphanin means more sulforaphane, with added myrosinase to ensure activation.
- Better flavor: Seeds create a milder taste than sprouts.
- Less waste: Seed-based formulas have more consistent yields and reduce batch failures.
- Easier on the stomach: Most users report that Broc Shot is gentler to digest than sprout-based powders.
At Broc Shot, we use broccoli seed powder in our formula to deliver powerful, natural sulforaphane that helps enhance detoxification, minimize inflammation, and support gut restoration—making it a smart, effective choice for daily wellness.
The Importance Of Sulforaphane
Sulforaphane is one of nature’s most powerful and bioactive compounds. It plays a key role in supporting detoxification, reducing inflammation, and protecting cellular health — core processes that keep your body functioning at its best. But despite its benefits, getting a natural and effective daily dose of sulforaphane has traditionally been difficult. That’s because sulforaphane isn’t just found in food — it has to be formed from a precursor called glucoraphanin and activated by the enzyme myrosinase, both of which are sensitive to heat and processing.
This is where Broc Shot makes a difference. Unlike many traditional broccoli powders made from sprouts or mature broccoli, Broc Shot uses broccoli seed powder that contains 30 times more glucoraphanin than sprouts. Not only do our seeds naturally contain the right enzyme to activate sulforaphane, but they also hold up better during production. Sprouts, on the other hand, require more processing and are more likely to lose potency during milling and drying. In fact, nearly 30% of sprout batches don’t meet our quality standards and are unusable — making them both less consistent and less sustainable.
At Broc Shot, we bridge the gap between research and real life, delivering a guaranteed minimum of 12mg of natural sulforaphane per serving, with most servings reaching 15–16mg. Thanks to its carefully developed seed cultivation method, Broc Shot ensures that customers get a reliable, high-quality source of natural sulforaphane every day — without the guesswork. Whether you’re managing a busy schedule or simply want to support your body’s natural defenses, we make it easy to integrate this powerful health defense compound into your routine.
Understanding The Health Benefits Of Broccoli Seed Powder
At Broc Shot, we’ve chosen our broccoli seed powder for one big reason: it's the most effective and reliable way to deliver natural sulforaphane. Unlike sprout powders, our seed-based formula offers higher potency, better flavor, and consistent performance. Here's how it helps support your overall health:
Gut Health Support
Your gut is more than just your digestive system — it’s deeply connected to your immune, brain, and metabolic health. Sulforaphane, the star of our formula, is clinically shown to help balance your gut microbiome and strengthen the gut barrier, which can reduce bloating, improve regularity, and support nutrient absorption. Within just a few days of consistent use, many people notice better digestion, improved energy, and even higher-quality sleep.
Inflammation Reduction
Inflammation is the root of many health issues, and our sulforaphane-rich broccoli seed powder helps keep it in check. Sulforaphane activates Nrf2, a key protein that turns on the body’s natural defense system and boosts antioxidant production. It also helps block NF-κB, a protein that triggers inflammation, and lower inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-α. The result? Less internal stress and better overall wellness.
Daily Detox Support
We live in a world filled with toxins — from the air we breathe to the products we use. Our detox systems were never built for this level of regular toxin exposure. That’s why sulforaphane is so important. It supports Phase II detoxification, helping your liver and other organs process and eliminate harmful chemicals before they can do damage. With each Broc Shot, you’re giving your body extra help to stay healthy and resilient.
A Powerful Combination for Whole-Body Wellness
By combining sulforaphane’s gut, inflammation, and detox benefits into one shot, our broccoli seed powder delivers a daily boost that works with your body — not against it. At Broc Shot, we believe real wellness starts with real science, and we’re proud to give you a science-backed, plant-powered tool that helps you feel your best, every single day.

Introducing Broc Shot: A Different Kind Of Broccoli Powder
Here’s why over 20k families trust Broc Shot for their daily dose of natural sulforaphane:
A Holistic, Whole-Food Method
We at Broc Shot have followed the science to create a whole-food, natural sulforaphane shot that makes it easy to support your overall health. Our shots are packed with a guaranteed 12mg of natural sulforaphane each — the same as eating 5 to 10 pounds of raw broccoli.
Every batch is tested by third-party labs to make sure it’s free of pesticides and heavy metals, so you know it’s safe and clean. We also care about the planet, which is why our packaging is plastic-free, foil-free, and composts in about six months.
Plus, for every shot sold, we donate one to a firefighter—because cancer, not fires, is the number one cause of death for firefighters.
Flavors And Accessibility
Many users find the taste of raw or powdered broccoli intense. Broc Shot counters that with multiple flavors:
- Pineapple + Mint Broc Shot: A touch of sweetness with mint undertones
- Ginger + Lime Broc Shot: A zesty blend for those who appreciate a bit of spice
- Original Broc Shot: The unmasked flavor of sprouted broccoli for purists
This flavor variety helps individuals build a daily routine they can enjoy.
Sustained Daily Use
At Broc Shot, we know consistency is key when it comes to your wellness routine—which is why we’ve made taking natural sulforaphane as easy and convenient as possible. Our broccoli seed powder comes pre-portioned in daily sachets, so all you have to do is mix with water and drink. Unlike powders that require blending or guesswork, Broc Shot is ready in seconds and easy to fit into your morning or midday routine. The format is clean, fast, and effective—designed to help you stay on track every single day without sacrificing time or taste.
Natural Sulforaphane vs. Stabilized Sulforaphane
Not all sulforaphane supplements are created equal—and at Broc Shot, we’re proud to offer the real deal: natural sulforaphane. Unlike “stabilized” formulas that use chemical solvents and deliver low bioactivity, our natural sulforaphane is sourced from gently milled broccoli seeds and activated with myrosinase, just like your body would naturally do. This makes a big difference: our formula delivers more active sulforaphane — a guaranteed 12mg per shot (most batches yield 15-16 m per shot) — compared to most stabilized versions, which often fall below 10 mg.
When you take Broc Shot, you’re supporting your body where it matters most. Our formula helps enhance detoxification, minimize inflammation, and support gut restoration, all in one simple daily shot. Plus, because we avoid synthetic processing and use compostable packaging, so you’re not just caring for your body—you’re also choosing a cleaner, more sustainable supplement. Broc Shot makes it easier than ever to get active, natural sulforaphane.

Frequently Asked Question
No. Broc Shot is not intended to replace fresh vegetables. Fresh produce provides fiber, moisture, and certain cofactors that can be diminished in drying. However, broccoli powder and shot formats can serve as a concentrated complement, especially when you’re short on time or dislike the flavor of raw broccoli.
Broccoli seed powder is one of the richest natural sources of sulforaphane, a powerful compound studied for its potential to support antioxidant activity, hormone balance, gut health, and cellular function. When taken consistently, like in a daily Broc Shot, broccoli seed powder helps activate important pathways in the body — such as the NRF2 pathway — that support detoxification, reduced inflammation, and a healthy gut. Over time, many people report benefits like improved energy, clearer skin, and better digestion. While sulforaphane from broccoli seed powder isn’t intended to treat or cure any disease, it can be a valuable part of a daily routine focused on long-term wellness and a stronger, more balanced foundation for health.
What makes Broc Shot different from most broccoli powders comes down to one key ingredient—broccoli seed. While most traditional broccoli powders are made from sprouts or mature florets, we use broccoli seeds that contain 30 times more glucoraphanin than 3-5 day old sprouts. Our seeds also contain the active enzyme myrosinase, which is essential for forming sulforaphane—the compound that makes broccoli so powerful for your health. We add an additional myrosinase source from horseradish root to give full-spectrum coverage and minimize any possible degradation of the enzyme.This means you get more consistent, high-yield sulforaphane in every shot. Plus, our method avoids the degradation that often happens during sprout milling and drying. With Broc Shot, you’re not only getting a potent source of natural sulforaphane—you’re getting it in a way that’s easy to take, gentle on the stomach, and designed to deliver real results every day.
Most research explores moderate daily intake of cruciferous compounds. Concentrated amounts can sometimes lead to digestive upset. Broc Shot is a potent source of natural sulforaphane, with each serving guaranteed to contain a minimum of 12 mg. For those new to sulforaphane or who may have sensitive GI systems, we recommend starting with a lower dose during the first week and/or taking it with food. And if you have concerns, discuss them with a nutritionist or physician.
Any medication or supplement could have interactions, so it's essential for your health to consult with your healthcare specialist before starting or combining any new supplements or medication. Individuals on blood thinners should not take Broc Shot or any sulforaphane supplements, as sulforaphane can improve blood flow.
Broc Shot is a potent source of natural sulforaphane, and for most people, one shot per day is enough to experience its benefits. Taking more than the recommended amount isn’t necessary and could cause mild digestive discomfort, especially for those new to sulforaphane. If you’re considering a higher dose, it’s always best to start slowly and speak with a healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement routine.
