Natural vs Stabilized Sulforaphane
Natural vs Stabilized Sulforaphane
Don’t fight a toxic world with more chemicals. Defend with nature.
Many products use stabilized sulforaphane made with alcohols, solvents, and additives, but that defeats the purpose of detox and gut support. Broc Shot delivers natural sulforaphane formed by the enzymatic reaction of glucoraphanin and myrosinase—just as it occurs in broccoli. Our formula combines 95% broccoli seed powder with 5% horseradish powder to protect the delicate myrosinase enzyme and ensure a consistent, high-yield, chemical-free dose every time.
Better Than Organic
Better Than Organic
While we respect organic certification, our standards are higher. "Certified organic" refers to a specific certification and standards, but it doesn't mean pesticide-free. In the US, pesticides that meet the criteria of the USDA National Organic Program may be used in organic crop production.
Instead, we are focused on non-GMO, pesticide- and herbicide-free cultivation. Broc Shot is also glyphosate-free.
Third-Party Tested
Third-Party Tested
We conduct testing at multiple points during cultivation and manufacturing, including tests for sulforaphane levels, chemical residues, heavy metal contamination, and microbiological profile assessment. No product is released unless it meets our strict standards. We manufacture in facilities that are HACCP-certified and SQF-certified, which are globally recognized food safety and quality standards.
Compostable Packaging
Compostable Packaging
Broc Shot was founded, based on the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy that says that companies should be responsible for the full lifecycle of their product.
Our sachets are derived from wood pulp, sugarcane 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.
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.
Tackle Health Issues at Their Core
80,000 toxic chemicals are approved in the US, making you sick and aging you. Our bodies aren't built for this modern toxic world. Broc Shot's daily sulforaphane offers you and your family better protection, resulting in a healthier you.
How Broc Shot Works
Broc Shot is powered by natural sulforaphane, which is featured in over 1,000 peer reviewed studies and articles for it’s ability to address:
Gut Health
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.“The ‘Secret Weapon’ Ingredient a Gastroenterologist Eats for Breakfast” –Well+Good
Inflammation
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 Toxic Chemicals:
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.
Detoxification
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
Will Broc Shot Replace Other Pills + Powders?
Do I Still Need a Probiotic?
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, 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.
Broc Shot vs Colostrum
Broc Shot vs Colostrum
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 vs Green Powders
Broc Shot vs Green 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
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.
Broc Shot vs Cold Sore Treatments
Broc Shot vs Cold Sore Treatments
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.

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.
Sulforaphane Key Facts
Sulforaphane Key Facts
- 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?
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.
Natural
Natural
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.
Guaranteed Natural Sulforaphane
Guaranteed Natural Sulforaphane
We guarantee 12mg of sulforaphane in every dose which makes it quite efficient in the body and more economical than taking 2–3 pills to get the same level of sulforaphane.
No Fillers
No Fillers
Many pills use fillers such as cellulose (shown as microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose derived or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) which is made from wood pulp from pine or poplar trees. People should not eat wood pulp. 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.
Whole Seed
Whole Seed
We do not use broccoli extracts. Many products on the market are extracts and only contain glucoraphanin therefore they rely on your own body to convert to sulforaphane. Our whole broccoli seed powder contains both glucoraphanin and myrosinase and converts directly to sulforaphane when activated by water making it more bioavailable upon ingestion.
No Stabilized Sulforaphane
No Stabilized Sulforaphane
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.
Sustainable
Sustainable
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.

Customer Reviews
A Sulforaphane Innovation
The Broc Shot team is dedicated to delivering the best source of natural sulforaphane to help you and your family better protect your health in this modern toxic world. This means when we find a better way, we do it.
Broccoli Seeds vs Sprouts
Broccoli Seeds vs Sprouts
Broccoli sprouts are often a popular source of sulforaphane but require more cultivation and processing and can degrade more during milling and drying. Our broccoli seeds have 30x more glucoraphanin than 3–5 day old sprouts while also containing the active enzyme myrosinase. This means more consistent sulforaphane yield from batch to batch so customers can count on the benefits consistently. An added benefit of using broccoli seed is its milder flavor profile compared to sprouts.
Sulforaphane Content
Sulforaphane Content
Each serving of Broc Shot typically contains between 15mg and 16mg of sulforaphane, however we guarantee a minimum of 12mg in every serving.
Neither sprouts nor seeds have a higher sulforaphane yield just by the nature of their plant stage. There are three key factors involved in sulforaphane yield including starting level of glucoraphanin in the seed (ours have 30x the level of sprouts) growth timing and processing. Sprouts require more cultivation and processing, and can have more degradation of sulforaphane during milling and drying.
We’ve worked with sprouts for a long time and nearly 30% of batches don’t meet our standard sulforaphane yield and cannot be put into our product. This creates waste and is simply not sustainable. We've committed to offering the highest quality of sulforaphane to our customers and want to ensure they never feel disappointed by its availability. We’ve navigated this for years and have found more consistent, high quality yield in our new seed cultivation method.
Bioavailability
Bioavailability
Bioavailability from seed and sprout can be equal as it is a measure that is relevant to the final powder (not the source) at time of ingestion. Bioavailability of our broccoli seed powder at the time it is mixed with water and consumed is key—we excel here.
While most batches are 15mg–16mg of sulforaphane, we guarantee no less than 12mg is delivered in each dose. The thing that we love most about sulforaphane, specifically our natural source, is that it’s an overt “behaving” compound—you can see and feel it working. Our innovative formula is no different, in fact it’s better.
In relation to bioavailability, many factors affect bioavailability and absorption which can vary from person to person including diet, other supplements or medicines, rate of gastric emptying and more. It has been well documented that humans more readily absorb liquid vitamins than other sources such as pills. This is because liquid vitamins dissolve and distribute more rapidly, providing higher potency and absorption rate. Pills dissolve at different rates and often travel through the digestive system as they are dissolving. And this is one of the reasons why Broc Shot is so effective. When you activate it with water and take it within 15 mins, it is readily available in your system and gets to work swiftly.
Digestibility
Digestibility
In our consumer tests, our innovative powder was not only milder in taste but was found to be easily digested and 92% of users found it was gentler on the stomach.
The Anti Nutrient Myth
The Anti Nutrient Myth
Historically, many healthcare providers recommended avoiding cruciferous vegetables for thyroid conditions based on older data and limited insights on volume of cruciferous vegetables needed to have a goitrogen effect. Recent insights suggest that the quantity needed to potentially impact iodine levels is more significant than a human would typically consume.
The Source: Natural, Not Stabilized
Sulforaphane forms through an enzymatic reaction between glucoraphanin and myrosinase. Without both, benefits are lost.
While our broccoli seed powder contains both, myrosinase can be sensitive to processing. So we carefully reinforce it with horseradish powder to give full-spectrum coverage and minimize degradation of the enzyme, without relying on chemical stabilization.
No alcohols, solvents, or additives. Only pure, bioactive sulforaphane, the way nature intended.
Commitment to Innovation
Our mission is to bring the world easy and effective natural sulforaphane to help you and your family feel better now.
New Slimmer Packaging
We heard you. While staying true to our cradle-to-cradle philosophy, our new sachets are now slimmer to fit right into the stainless steel shaker to minimize powder spillage. And they now offer 96% degradation in 6 months in home compost and 95% in 3 months in commercial compost.
