Finally, skin relief from within

The root cause of some visible skin issues is an overactive immune system, specifically involving T-cells (a type of white blood cell). 

For example in psoriasis:

• T-cells mistakenly attack healthy skin cells triggering inflammation that speeds up skin cell production.
• Skin cells normally take 3–4 weeks to mature and shed. With psoriasis, it happens in 3–7 days, leading to a buildup of skin cells on the surface.

How natural sulforaphane may help: Sulforaphane activates the NRF2 pathway, which helps regulate immune activity and reducing oxidative stress. This may help calm the overactive immune signaling that causes rapid skin cell turnover in those with psoriasis-prone skin issues.

Many people are exposed daily to environmental toxins—like pesticides, air pollution, heavy metals, or chemicals in personal care products—that can overload the body’s detox systems.

• These toxins can contribute to systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation, both of which are known to exacerbate autoimmune skin conditions.
• In people with impaired detoxification pathways, the buildup of toxins may act as a persistent internal trigger.

How natural sulforaphane may help:
Sulforaphane is a potent activator of Phase 2 detoxification enzymes, including those that help neutralize and eliminate toxins like benzene, aldehydes, and heavy metals. By enhancing the body’s natural detox capacity, sulforaphane may help reduce the toxic burden that contributes to inflammatory skin flare-ups.

Even if you have the genetic tendency, psoriasis often needs a trigger to show up or flare. Common triggers include:

Stress, infections, skin injuries, cold, dry weather, certain medications, alcohol or smoking, hormonal changes.  

How natural sulforaphane may help:
Sulforaphane supports the body’s detoxification and stress response systems, helping neutralize inflammatory triggers and reduce the body’s reactivity to environmental stressors.

Gut health issues and microbiome imbalances are increasingly recognized as underlying contributors or triggers of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that are reflected on the skin like psoriasis.

• Some people with psoriasis may also have leaky gut, altered gut flora, or systemic inflammation.
• A compromised gut can send immune signals that influence skin inflammation and worsen symptoms.

How natural sulforaphane may help:
Sulforaphane has been shown to reduce gut inflammation, support intestinal barrier integrity, and encourage a more balanced microbiome—all of which can help calm immune responses that start in the gut and show up on the skin.

Do I still need a probiotic?

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, Natural 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.

Broc Shot vs Colostrum

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 vs Greens Powders

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.

Broc Shot vs Collagen Powders

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.
