Natural Sulforaphane vs Stabilized SulforaphaneUpdated 18 days ago

Don't fight chemicals with more chemicals, fight with nature.

Stabilized Sulforaphane 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 or gut health issues and are trying to better detoxify their system. Using a stabilized Sulforaphane with chemical additives is counter-intuitive and could actually contribute to some of the issues that they are trying to address.

Natural Sulforaphane is an enzymatic reaction between two compounds in broccoli, glucoraphanin and myrosinase.  Without both, there is little to no sulforaphane.

Our formula is 95% broccoli seed powder with 5% horseradish powder to offer full spectrum sulforaphane yield.

Myrosinase is a very delicate and unstable enzyme that is easily damaged, hence why cooking broccoli or freeze-drying it can destroy the enzyme so easily.  While our broccoli seed powder has both glucoraphanin and myrosinase, we add additional myrosinase source from horseradish root powder to give full-spectrum coverage to minimize any possible degradation of the enzyme.  This helps ensure a consistent, high yield of natural sulforaphane in every dose while avoiding using chemicals and stabilized sulforaphane.
