Original Broc Shot

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 offers further benefits in helping reduce inflammation and detoxifying 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 consider adding it back in while consulting a healthcare practitioner who can tell you if a probiotic or other supplement will be beneficial for you.  

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.

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.
