Broccoli

Also known as: Sulforaphane, Brassica oleracea, Broccoli Powder, Broccoli extract

A
Evidence

Broccoli powder is a whole-food derived ingredient rich in sulforaphane, glucosinolates, and polyphenols that support antioxidant and detoxification pathways. Evidence supports potential benefits for cellular health and inflammatory response, though most human research uses fresh broccoli or concentrated extracts rather than powder forms.
