Broccoli is a real multivitamin and multi-mineral bomb. But not everyone likes it. Yet recent research shows that it is very healthy and should be consumed more often by everyone. If someone can’t do this, Vitaking Broccoli Concentrate is a great solution. Sulforaphane in broccoli germ is the most valuable active ingredient in the plant. Vitaking Concentrated Broccoli Extract is standardized to 400mcg Sulforaphane (SFN). Each capsule contains BroccoPhanne® brand sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) (concentrated broccoli extract).

Broccoli concentrate for everyday use

Broccoli has recently been the focus of several studies on this drug. The sulfur compound in them, called sulforaphane, is primarily responsible for its health-promoting properties. The chemical and biochemical properties of this have been investigated and we now have a host of data available that confirmed the original assumption. To date, more than 500 studies have been performed to elucidate the mechanism of action and biological activity of sulforaphane and its precursor, glucorafanin.

Broccoli is a real multi- vitamin and multi-mineral bomb: it contains significant amounts of vitamins A, C, E and B, and the calcium in it strengthens the bones. It contains a lot of magnesium, potassium, and also beta-carotene. It contains more trace elements iron and selenium. Its most valuable compound is sulforaphane.

Broccoli germ contains the precursor of sulforaphane, glucorafanin. It can be converted to sulforaphane in two ways.

1. When raw broccoli is chewed, it is formed by the enzymes it contains. These enzymes are killed around 40 degrees Celsius, so the process only takes place in the case of raw broccoli.
2. After cooking or steaming, the effect is different. This enzyme is also found in the healthy intestinal tract and since glucoraphanin is not heat sensitive, the process also occurs in cooked broccoli.

Daily consumption

Whether one is consuming raw sprouts every day, or cooked broccoli or the extract in capsules, the focus is on everyday consumption if we are consuming it for some special reason and not for the sake of taste.

So healthy, but unfortunately not exactly one of the most popular vegetables. In addition to broccoli, sulforaphane is also found in cauliflower and cabbage - and other cabbages - but is found most in fresh broccoli. It would be most ideal for everyone to have access to this important nutrient in its fresh vegetable form.

But if you can’t do that, it’s a great solution to encapsulate the active ingredient in a concentrate. Based on the available research results, the typical dosage of broccoli germ and seed extract is 50-100mg sulforaphane glucosinolate per day, divided into smaller doses.

Our product contains 100 mg of concentrated broccoli germ extract per capsule, of which 400 mg is sulforaphane.

According to Professor Paul Thornalley:

“… It would be important in the future to put a lot of emphasis on having as many broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbage on the diet of diabetics as possible. "We believe it will do them good."
