What Is Sulforaphane?
Sulforaphane is a sulfur-rich phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables with the highest levels derived from broccoli plants.
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.
FAQs
Yes. Both formats deliver identical 12–16 mg of active sulforaphane per serving. Take 2 capsules daily to match one powder sachet. Every batch is third-party tested to guarantee no less than 12 mg, with most batches delivering 15–16 mg. The only difference is delivery method—capsules use delayed-release technology to activate in your small intestine, while powder activates when mixed with water.
Broc Shot Capsules use a vegan delayed-release (enteric) coating that protects both glucoraphanin and the myrosinase enzyme through stomach acid. The capsule dissolves in your small intestine where pH is optimal for activation. When released, myrosinase converts glucoraphanin to sulforaphane inside your body—the same reaction that happens when mixing powder with water, just internally. Research shows enteric coating can enhance conversion by protecting myrosinase from stomach acidity.
Take 2 capsules daily with water—with or without food. If you're new to sulforaphane or have a sensitive stomach, start with 1 capsule after a meal. The natural, plant-based delayed-release coating protects ingredients through stomach acid regardless of food intake, but taking with food during the first week can help minimize digestive adjustment as your body adapts to enhanced detoxification. Choose a consistent time daily for best results.
Broc Shot uses whole broccoli seed powder, not sprout powder. Our seeds contain 30x more glucoraphanin than sprouts and provide more consistent yields—nearly 30% of sprout batches fail quality standards due to processing degradation. Most importantly, Broc Shot capsules include active myrosinase enzyme (many broccoli supplements don't), which is essential for converting glucoraphanin to sulforaphane. The natural, plant-based delayed-release coating protects myrosinase until it reaches your small intestine.
You can, but it's not recommended. If swallowing capsules is difficult, you’re welcome to open them and take the contents as a shot. Simply mix the powder from the capsules with about 2 oz of cold to room-temperature water before drinking.
That said, our Broc Shot powder is the ideal option if you prefer not to swallow capsules, as it’s specifically designed to be mixed and taken as a shot. Both formats deliver equal sulforaphane when used as intended.
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture. Unlike extracted sulforaphane supplements (which must be frozen to maintain potency), Broc Shot's whole broccoli seed powder with active myrosinase is naturally shelf-stable at room temperature. The delayed-release capsule provides additional protection. Broc Shot offers a stainless steel jar—complimentary with subscription or available for purchase—to protect capsules from humidity and light.
Sulforaphane supports psoriasis-prone skin by targeting gut health, inflammatory balance, and detoxification—the internal systems driving psoriasis. Broc Shot is the first sulforaphane supplement recognized by The National Psoriasis Foundation. Take 2 capsules daily (12–16 mg sulforaphane) for convenient, on-the-go support. When used as part of a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, many customers report less redness, puffiness, and patchy-looking skin, along with improved joint mobility in as little as 30 days. Clearer-looking skin and continued visible skin improvements are often reported within 60 days.
Sulforaphane’s effects vary from person to person, as individual biology, routines, and environmental factors differ. Some people notice changes more quickly, while others experience more gradual shifts over time, with noticeable differences emerging with consistent use.
The delayed-release formula protects active ingredients until reaching your small intestine for optimal absorption and gut support.
