Broccoli: A Valuable Source Of Sulforaphane

As research continues on the value of Sulforaphane (SFN) in the reduction of carcinogenesis and the proliferation of cancer cells, broccoli as a rich source of the organosulfur compound is projected to grow at a 4% CAGR to 2027.1

Based on genetic varieties and agricultural seasons, studies support broccoli seeds as the densest plant source of the compounds.2 As a result, consumers are seeking organic, clean, and easy to consume broccoli extract.

Sulforaphane studies have demonstrated its effect on the early stages of cancer. SFN appears to regulate cancer initiation phases by blocking DNA damage that initiates the growth of mutated cells, which form premalignant lesions.3 Cancer progression is an accumulation of cellular alterations, of which SFN may disrupt at early stages. This supports consumption of SFN through broccoli extracts as a valuable dietary source to lower the risk of cancer.
