What Is Sulforaphane?

Sulforaphane is a sulfur-rich phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables with the highest levels derived from broccoli plants.

  • Discovered by Johns Hopkins researchers in the 1990’s, 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.
  • 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

A Superior Sulforaphane Source

Broc Shot delivers potent naturally activated sulforaphane in a clean, reliable dose that’s difficult to achieve through diet alone and essential for consistent internal support in psoriasis-prone bodies.

Each Broc Shot provides no less than 12 mg of natural sulforaphane—the equivalent of consuming 5–10 pounds of raw broccoli daily.

Our whole broccoli seed formula is third-party tested to ensure it's always glyphosate/pesticide-free, chemical-free, heavy metal-free, and packed with pure, natural sulforaphane.

Stabilized sulforaphane is not natural.

Creating it typically requires alcohols, solvents, or other synthetic chemicals to preserve or encapsulate the compound. For individuals dealing with inflammation, gut imbalances, or detox challenges, introducing these additives can be counterproductive, potentially aggravating the very symptoms they're trying to relieve.

That’s why natural sulforaphane, delivered without chemical interference, is a more supportive choice.

While we respect organic certification, our standards are higher. 

"Certified Organic" doesn't always mean pesticide-free, as USDA-certified organic crops can still use approved pesticides. We go further: our cultivation is non-GMO, pesticide-free, herbicide-free and always glyphosate-free.

Every batch is tested at multiple stages for sulforaphane potency, chemical residues, heavy metals, and microbiological safety. Nothing is released without meeting our strict criteria first.

Production takes place in HACCP- and SQF-certified facilities, globally recognized for food safety and quality.

We are the most sustainable supplement company on the planet. 

Our sachets are thoughtfully made from wood pulp, sugar cane and cornstarch. We are proud to be 100% compostable, plastic and foil-free, as well as certified BPI compostable with 90% degradation in 6 months. Each Broc Shot subscription includes a reusable, stainless steel shaker for a perfectly dosed shot.

Why It Matters

You can cover the entire surface of the earth with the plastic sachets sold per year. 855 billion, to be exact.

Less than 9% of "recyclable" packaging actually gets recycled. Most sachets, made from a blend of plastic, paper, and foil, cannot be recycled, causing confusion, polluting recycling systems, and leading to more microplastics in our bodies.

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.
