Why we don't use Sulforaphane Extracts or Stabilized SulforaphaneUpdated a month ago

We created Broc Shot because we couldn’t find good sources.  Everything on the market was made from extracts or it was stabilized.  Today, Broc Shot is the most potent, natural source of Sulforaphane on the market.  

Why extracts aren't ideal:   Extracts of the broccoli plant require chemicals and solvents to extract the glucoraphanin from the plant.  This process usually destroys the myrosinase enzyme in the process.  If you don't have both glucoraphanin and myrosinase, it can't convert to sulforaphane.  This means no benefits or mild benefits over a longer period of time.  

Why we never use stabilized sulforaphane: Stabilized sulforaphane is not natural as it’s created using alcohols, solvents, or other chemicals to preserve or encapsulate the compound. These additives and chemicals are not ideal for ingestion and, in some cases, can be harsh on the stomach or contribute to inflammation. We find this to be counter intuitive to a wellness regimen.
