Broc Shot’s natural sulforaphane: a proactive, long-term solution for HSV
GET STARTEDSulforaphane & Cold Sores
Sulforaphane has been clinically demonstrated to naturally impair the production of the Herpes Simplex Virus. Specifically it activates a protein called NRF2, which triggers the production of antioxidants and enzymes that protect cells from damage caused by the herpes virus and makes it harder for the virus to replicate and cause outbreaks.
NRF2 is a cellular defense mechanism, helping our bodies cope with stress and maintain balance within our cells. This process is important for overall health and is linked to various aspects of well-being, including how our bodies respond to inflammation, toxins, and other environmental challenges.
Antiviral medications are effective but not intended for long term / continuous use. Most drug store remedies are available to help minimize sores once they are present but they still can require numerous days to have effect and still do not help prevent outbreaks. Many natural options simply aren’t very effective.
Sulforaphane has been demonstrated as safe for long term, daily use and many users have found it helps to prevent outbreaks from occurring and those that occur can be less severe.
Our product may help manage and alleviate symptoms associated with herpes outbreaks. There is no cure for herpes. When using any treatment, it is still possible to transmit the herpes virus to others through skin-to-skin contact, even when no symptoms are present. Always practice safe sex and take other necessary precautions to reduce the risk of transmission.
Individual results may vary. Broc Shot should not be considered a substitute for medical advice or treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional. If you have any concerns or questions about managing herpes or its symptoms, please consult with your healthcare provider.

You're Not Alone.
Hear From Others.
I used to get cold sores every month around my period and I haven't had one in over a year!! This seems to be a good long term solution.
MatILda D
3 months without cold sores. Keeping outbreaks in check with broc shot has been a breeze. The pineapple mint flavor is the shit.
PIA W
Loving my broc shot, I haven't missed a day since starting and it does seem to have helped with my cold sores. I've been telling all my friends to try this. I also haven't been sick in months, maybe related?
Ailani S
It might be a coincidence but I usually get bad cold sores but have only had one small one since starting and it went away faster than usual.
Maggie H
I love that it’s safe for HSV maintenance long term and helps my gut. Taste of original is intesne but you get used to it.
LENA C
I started a broc shot subscription 5ish months ago and on top of zero cold sores I’m noticeably more energetic and less bloated on the day to day.
RACHEL S
I have been using for a little over 6 months and recently noticed I haven't had any cold sores.

MORE ON SULFORAPHANEWill Broc Shot replace other pills and powders?
Cold sores affect approximately 50% of the US population and nearly 70% of the global population. Antiviral medications are effective but not intended for long-term or continuous use. Most drug store remedies help minimize sores once they are present, but they can still require numerous days to take effect and do not help prevent outbreaks. Many natural options simply aren’t very effective.
Sulforaphane has been demonstrated to be safe for long-term, daily use. Many users have found it helps to prevent outbreaks from occurring, and those that do occur can be less severe.
How sulforaphane helps minimize outbreaks:
- Protects cells from damage caused by the herpes virus
- Reduces inflammation to minimize the severity and duration of cold sores
- Activates NRF2, a key immune and cell defense protein
- Makes it harder for the herpes virus to replicate and cause outbreaks
Our product may help manage and alleviate symptoms associated with herpes outbreaks. While our product may reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks for some individuals, it is not a cure for herpes, nor is there currently a cure. Even when using our product or any product, it is still possible to transmit the herpes virus to others through skin-to-skin contact, even when no symptoms are present. Always practice safe sex and take other necessary precautions to reduce the risk of transmission. Individual results may vary, and our product should not be considered a substitute for medical advice or treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional. If you have any concerns or questions about managing herpes or its symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider.
Many Broc Shot users do not require a probiotic. Probiotics put bacteria into your gut to help support the gut microbiome. Sulforaphane works differently, acting as a prebiotic, providing a strong food source, nurturing your personal gut microbiome while also helping to heal the gut lining. Additionally, sulforaphane helps reduce inflammation and detoxifies the body.
Since sulforaphane covers so many benefits, many users are able to reduce how many supplements they are taking, often saving hundreds of dollars.
We recommend using sulforaphane as your baseline for approximately two weeks. If you still feel the need for a probiotic, you can add it back in. We don’t recommend combining a prebiotic with sulforaphane. Also, ensure your prebiotic source is not inulin (typically from chicory), as it can be inflammatory for many people.
While many colostrum benefits seem similar to sulforaphane, there are some key differences and the research on bovine colostrum for humans is still quite new. Colostrum is well documented for its immune benefits from mother to newborn of the same species. Studies conducted using bovine (cow) colostrum for humans are limited and not as conclusive. One critique of current bovine colostrum studies is that they utilized 20-60g of colostrum which is 10-30x the volume in a consumer dose (typically 1-2g). To get the benefits of this volume over a month could cost a user $300 per month.
In addition, Bovine colostrum contains antibodies that are specific to pathogens that the female cow is exposed to, and the main antibody in bovine colostrum is IgG [immunoglobulin G], while the main antibody in human colostrum is IGA [immunoglobulin A]. There is little disclosure of the volume of each antibody in the consumer colostrum formulas leading to questions on how effective the formula would be in each human.
There is no vegan colostrum option and there is limited transparency available on quality and sourcing of the colostrum and the effect of manufacturing on colostrum. This is important as colostrum only lasts for a few days following milking. Pasteurization and fat removal can also degrade efficacy.
Sulforaphane has over 1000 peer-reviewed studies and articles and has been researched since its discovery in the 1990’s. In addition, sulforaphane has some distinct advantages over colostrum in relation to anti-inflammatory, detoxification, gut health and cancer prevention and treatment mechanisms.
Broc Shot is NOT a greens powder. Broc Shot delivers one powerful ingredient: broccoli seed powder and its compound sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is backed by over 1000 peer reviewed studies and articles. Sulforaphane addresses the 3 key pillars of wellness: gut health, inflammation and detoxification. Benefits include more luminous skin, more energy, better bowel habits, better sleep quality, less bloating, less anxiety, more focus. Greens powders are a mix of lots of vegetable and fruit powders and complexes which means they can have lower efficacy due to volume of ingredients and it’s hard to know which ingredients are best for your nutritional needs. Plus many have very little scientific research behind them especially in combination. Many greens powders cause bloating due to an added ingredient inulin. Many health experts do not recommend inulin for more than 24 weeks. Inulin dosage matters too and how much is “too much” can vary from person to person.
We lose 1% of the collagen in our skin each year and many consumers are seeking solutions to help minimize the look of aging skin. Many seek out collagen powders hoping they will offer a solution only to find they offer minimal results and take over 12 weeks to begin to see a difference. Why do they take so long? You can’t replace your collagen with an ingestible collagen. Collagen powders have to be broken down into amino acids, then absorbed and used to build collagen or other proteins that your body needs a process taking no less than 6-12 weeks. Sulforaphane on the other hand is a faster more direct natural solution. It is clinically demonstrated to protect your own collagen and help your body produce more naturally. Plus, there are over a 1000 peer reviewed studies validating its countless other health benefits and it works in days, not weeks. Also no vegan collagen exists. Collagen is made from cowhide or fish scales. Sulforaphane is perfect for any vegan or raw dietary plan.

How sulforaphane works
Four mechanisms, working in tandem, explain why sulforaphane is so fascinating to the scientific and wellness community and why it has known benefits for cancer treatment and prevention, constipation, aging skin, gut health issues, autism, alzheimer's and other dementias, psoriasis, arthritis, and more.
We each have efficient detoxification systems made up of your main detoxification organs - the liver and kidneys as well as your lymphatic system, digestive tract, skin, and lungs. Sadly our detoxification systems weren’t built for this modern toxic world where 80,000 toxic chemicals are approved for use in the US. Sulforaphane is one of the best known detoxifiers and this mechanism is why every human should take it – every day. Sulforaphane offers a process called Phase II detoxification. When toxic chemicals enter our bodies, our detoxification system works to remove them. If they are not removed, Phase II detoxification processes them through again to help prevent them from reaching our cells and causing damage.
"Sulforaphane is a potent inducer of phase II detoxification enzymes, which are essential for the body's defense against carcinogens and other harmful compounds. These enzymes enhance the elimination of these toxic substances from the body." -Dr. Jed Fahey, Sc.D., nutritional biochemist, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Our gut is called our second brain as it plays a key role in proper immune, cognitive, and metabolic function. Sulforaphane is clinically demonstrated to normalize gut microflora (feeding your gut bacteria) while enhancing the gut barrier (helping to prevent leaky gut). Sulforaphane’s ability to reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract leads to healthier digestion, better nutrient absorption, reduced bloating, and enables the restoration of a healthy gut lining and microbiome. Within the first days of consistent use, these important changes can contribute to improved regularity, digestive improvements, better sleep quality and boosted energy.

Reducing and preventing inflammation is central to us being well. Sulforaphane works by boosting our natural defenses, blocking signals that cause inflammation, reducing inflammatory chemicals, helping detoxify our bodies, and improving gut health. All these actions together help lower and prevent inflammation.
Boosting the Body's Defense System:
Sulforaphane activates a protein in our cells called Nrf2. Think of Nrf2 as a switch that turns on the body's natural defense system. When this switch is on, our cells produce more antioxidants, which are substances that protect cells from damage. This helps reduce inflammation.
Blocking Inflammatory Signals:
There's a protein complex called NF-κB that tells our body to produce substances that cause inflammation. Sulforaphane can block this protein, which means fewer inflammatory signals are sent out.
Lowering Inflammatory Chemicals:
Inflammation is partly driven by chemicals such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Sulforaphane helps reduce the levels of these chemicals in the body.
Helping the Body Get Rid of Toxins:
Sulforaphane boosts the activity of enzymes that help detoxify the body. By getting rid of harmful substances, it reduces the triggers for inflammation.
Improving Gut Health:
A healthy gut helps control inflammation in the body. Sulforaphane promotes the growth of good bacteria in the gut and reduces gut inflammation.
When you consume sulforaphane, it swiftly enters your cells and activates a special protein called Nrf2. Think of Nrf2 as a master switch that controls hundreds of protective genes.
Activation of Nrf2: Inside the cell, sulforaphane activates Nrf2 by freeing it from its inactive state. Normally, Nrf2 is kept in check by another protein, but sulforaphane helps Nrf2 break free.
Nrf2 Enters the Nucleus: Once activated, Nrf2 moves into the cell's nucleus (the control center of the cell where genes are located).
Turning on Protective Genes: Inside the nucleus, Nrf2 binds to specific parts of DNA and switches on genes that produce antioxidants and detoxification enzymes. These are function as the body's natural protectors against oxidative damage and stress.
By activating Nrf2, sulforaphane helps your cells make more of these protective substances, which can defend against oxidative stress, inflammation, and other types of cellular damage. This process helps keep your cells healthy and functioning well.
