What Is Sulforaphane?
Sulforaphane is a sulfur-rich phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables with the highest levels derived from broccoli plants. Sulforaphane has over 1,000 peer reviewed studies and articles demonstrating its ability to repair and nurture our gut, detoxify the body and reduce and prevent inflammation.
- Discovered by Johns Hopkins researchers in the 1990’s
- Johns Hopkins study in China (2013)(1) demonstrated sulforaphane's ability to detoxify cancer-causing air pollutants within 24 hours
- Sulforaphane is clinically demonstrated benefits range from longevity, skin integrity and health, metabolic health, sports performance and recovery, cognitive benefits, gut health, immunity, cancer prevention/treatment, Alzhiemer’s, Autism, ADHD, psoriasis, arthritis, and more
- Sulforaphane is part of a plant's defense mechanism produced as an enzymatic reaction between two ingredients in a broccoli plant: glucoraphanin and the active enzyme myrosinase; without both there is little to no sulforaphane, no benefits.
- Experts recommend an optimum level of sulforaphane is between 10-15mg for most people

How Is Broc Shot Different?
Not all sulforaphane supplements are created equal. Broc Shot was born out of the need for a reliable, sulforaphane source. We are different and you will feel the difference.
Our formula is natural while other companies use the term "naturally derived."
"Naturally derived" is not natural—it is simply a marketing term. Once something is chemically altered it is no longer natural. It becomes synthetic. We think this term is disingenuous and misleading.
We guarantee 12 mg of natural sulforaphane in every serving of Broc Shot. This means you are receiving a consistent, measurable dose of sulforaphane your body can recognize and use — without relying on inconsistent food sources or stabilized (chemically formed) sulforaphane. Each Broc Shot format is designed to deliver this same guaranteed level of natural sulforaphane, so you can choose the experience that fits your routine without compromising potency.
Broc Shot is made with only the simplest functional ingredients: broccoli seed powder and horseradish root powder, naturally rich in sulforaphane — with no fillers, no stabilizing chemicals, no artificial additives, and no unnecessary extras.
Many pills also include silica or silicon dioxide. While the FDA has recognized them as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe), we believe these should be avoided therefore we don’t use them.
We do not use broccoli extracts. Many products on the market contain only isolated glucoraphanin, leaving it up to the body’s own enzymes to convert it into sulforaphane.
Broc Shot uses whole broccoli seed powder that naturally contains both glucoraphanin and active myrosinase, enabling reliable, natural formation of sulforaphane and improved bioavailability upon ingestion.
We don’t use stabilized sulforaphane. We have intentionally chosen not to use stabilized sulforaphane as it is not natural. Stabilizing sulforaphane involves the use of alcohols, solvents and other chemicals to stabilize and/or encapsulate it. Many of our users are facing inflammation, gut health issues and are trying to better detoxify their systems so we feel that using a stabilized sulforaphane with chemical additives is simply counter-intuitive and could contribute to some of the issues they are trying to address. The stabilizing of sulforaphane is also known to be harsh on the stomach and may cause inflammation in some people.
We are the most sustainable supplement company on the planet. There are over 855 billion plastic sachets and 194 billion plastic pill bottles produced per year. This is enough to cover the earth more than once. Less than 3-9% of these are recycled. Our packaging is BPI certified compostable (at home or commercially) so that you can rest assured that you are doing something good for your health and that of the planet.
Over 98% of users saw more luminous, clearer skin, 92% felt less bloated and 90% felt more focused. Plus we have a 30 day money back guarantee as we are confident you will feel better on Broc Shot.
