Broccoli sprout powder is a convenient and rich source of glucoraphanin, a precursor of the chemo-preventive molecule sulforaphane.

Sulforaphane is a sulfur-rich compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Kale, bok choy, and cabbage, which has been shown in studies to provide substantial health benefits.

These benefits include-

Anti-oxidant properties- Sulforaphane has been shown in studies to substantially increase the body’s ability to excrete environmental toxins such as benzine from vehicles and other airborne pollutants. It increases the excretion of benzene by a whopping 61% (Source). 

Anti Inflammatory- Studies suggest diets high in sulforaphane significantly reduced inflammatory markers, especially IL-6, TFN- alpha, and C reactive protein (3 common markers of inflammation). (Source) (Source)

Help to augment glutathione levels and liver function- Studies have shown that even short-term administration of sulforaphane significantly increased glutathione levels. Glutathione is the body's most important internal antioxidant.  (Source) 

Cardiovascular Health-  Evidence suggests that Sulforaphane may significantly reduce plasma LDL and that these beneficial effects on Cardiovascular disease are thanks to  Sulforaphane's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. (Source)

Anti Cancer properties-  Studies have shown that sulforaphane may have the ability to help to enhance the deactivation and excretion of carcinogens, and may help to prevent DNA damage shown to lead to cancer. One study showed that eating 4-5 servings of cruciferous vegetables a month helped to decrease the risk of lung cancer by an amazing 55%. (Source)
