Why is Sulforaphane getting so much attention from scientists?
The level of excitement about sulforaphane among scientists across the world has been rising steadily year by year, and it's now higher than ever.
The FDA limits the types of scientific results we can share with you and the language we can use. (We can’t imply that our product treats, cures or prevents any disease.)
Below are some of the most exciting facts about sulforaphane that we are permitted to share.

10 BENEFITS OF BROQ
WITH SUPPORTING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FOR EACH ONE
1. Helps fight inflammation†
Inflammation is the single most important driver of human aging. Virtually all people who live to be 100 have very low inflammation.
Sulforaphane has been shown, in many studies, to significantly reduce markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein and IL-6.
These markers are known to have profound effects on overall health, energy level and cognition.
2. Helps the body eliminate toxins†
Sulforaphane has been robustly shown to increase Phase 2 detoxification enzymes.
These enzymes are known to help the body eliminate carcinogens and other toxins, such as those found in pesticides.
One of the worst—and most common—toxins we are all exposed to is benzene, which is in car exhaust and second-hand smoke.
Sulforaphane has been shown to increase the body’s ability to eliminate benzene by 60% or more.
3. Increases energy levels†
By activating the NRF2 pathway, sulforaphane enhances the production and protection of mitochondria, the cell's energy powerhouses. Better mitochondrial function leads to improved energy production.
4. Supports heart health†
Multiple studies have shown that sulforaphane promotes cardiovascular health.
By reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, sulforaphane helps maintain a healthy heart.
Also, sulforaphane lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol. It is well established that improving cholesterol balance in this way has a positive effect on heart health.
5. Promotes increased immunity†
Through its effect on the NRF2 pathway, sulforaphane helps maintain proper immune function.
6. Supports brain health and cognitive function†
Sulforaphane readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, and it has been shown to increase BDNF (brain derived neurotropic factor), which protects existing brain cells and promotes the growth of new ones—as well as increased connectivity among brain cells.
In addition, NRF2 has been shown to support brain health and cognitive function, and sulforaphane is a potent activator of NRF2.
7. Supports healthy joints and mobility†
Sulforaphane has been shown to reduce the production of enzymes that break down the protective cartilage that keeps joints working smoothly.
Sulforaphane also supports joint health via its activation of NRF2.
8. Helps maintain healthy body weight†
Sulforaphane has robustly been shown to increase brown adipose tissue ("brown fat"), which helps maintain healthy body weight.
Sulforaphane has also been shown to increase leptin responsiveness, which decreases hunger.
9. Helps maintain positive mood†
Sulforaphane has been shown to help maintain positive mood.
Biomarkers for inflammation, such as IL-6, are associated with persistent negative mood, and sulforaphane reduces IL-6.
10. Promotes autophagy, which supports healthy aging
Autophagy is the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells to make way for new ones.
“Auto” means self and “phagy” means eat; so, literally, the word describes cells eating themselves.
Autophagy is the primary source of the many health benefits of caloric restriction or fasting.
Sulforaphane has been shown to promote autophagy (without restricting calories or fasting).
