Will Broc Shot replace other pills and powders?Updated a month ago
We understand that navigating supplements can feel overwhelming, and figuring out which to take, which work well together, and which to avoid isn’t always straightforward. It’s important to speak with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements or making changes to your current routine, especially someone familiar with your health history and nutritional needs.
Broc Shot delivers a concentrated dose of sulforaphane that supports gut health, immune function, and detoxification. Many customers find this provides sufficient support and helps them simplify their routines—often saving money in the process. After consulting with your healthcare provider, we suggest trying Broc Shot for a few days to see how you feel, then gradually reintroducing only the essentials your body needs.
Do I still need a probiotic?
Sulforaphane works differently, acting like 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 including targeting inflammation and helping improve detoxification.
Do I still need colostrum?
We do not believe so and here is why. While colostrum and sulforaphane share some similar benefits for immune and gut health, there are important differences. In nature, human colostrum is well documented for transferring antibodies from mother to newborn of the same species, but research on bovine (from cows) colostrum for humans is still limited and less conclusive.
Bovine colostrum mainly contains the antibody IgG, while human colostrum is rich in IgA. Most consumer formulas don’t disclose antibody levels, so it’s unclear how effective they are for humans. There are also no vegan options, and quality and sourcing transparency can vary. Because colostrum is produced for only a few days after calving, pasteurization and processing can reduce its potency. In addition, many studies use 20–60 grams per day, which is 10–30 times more than typical consumer doses, making it difficult to achieve the same results in practice.
Sulforaphane, on the other hand, has been studied and analyzed for over 30 years in more than 1,000 peer-reviewed publications. It is known for supporting detoxification, gut health, and inflammation balance, and has a stronger and more consistent evidence base compared to bovine colostrum.
Do I still need Greens Powders?
We do not recommend greens powders. And it's important to note, 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, and more focus, as reported in a recent consumer study.
Greens powders, on the other hand, typically blend dozens of vegetable and fruit extracts, making it difficult to know which ingredients (and in what amounts) are most effective for your individual needs. Research on many of these combinations is limited, and efficacy can vary based on formulation. Additionally, some greens powders contain inulin, a prebiotic fiber that can cause bloating or digestive discomfort in some people, especially at higher doses or with long-term use.
Do I still need Collagen powders?
We don’t believe you do — and here’s why.
As we age, we naturally lose about 1% of our skin’s collagen each year, which is why many people turn to supplements to help maintain firmness and elasticity. Sulforaphane, the active compound in Broc Shot, has been clinically shown to protect and strengthen existing collagen by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation—two key drivers of collagen breakdown.
Hydrolyzed collagen supplements, on the other hand, claim to support new collagen production, which can take 4–12 weeks to show results most of which have been attributed to added protein in them rather than ingesting collagen. If your main goal is increasing protein or amino acid intake, a traditional protein powder may make sense and work synergistically with sulforaphane. Otherwise it is likely unnecessary (and expensive) to take collagen supplements and sulforaphane.
