Designs For Health BroccoProtect™ Broccoli Seed Extract with Myrosinase for Detoxification, Antioxidant Status, and Healthy Estrogen Metabolism A combination of broccoli seed extract (as OptiBroc®) and mustard seed powder (Sinapis alba) to support healthy detoxification, antioxidant status, and estrogen metabolism. Sulforaphane is a powerful compound naturally found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli. It supports the body’s detoxification pathways, promotes cellular health, and supports antioxidant status. Unlike typical cruciferous vegetables, this formula is free of goitrogens. And unlike many commercial supplements, BroccoProtect™ goes a step further — it includes myrosinase to facilitate the conversion to active sulforaphane and also provides preformed sulforaphane for optimal efficacy and detox support. Key Features and Benefits: Supports healthy detoxification pathways Promotes normal cellular function and antioxidant status Supports healthy estrogen metabolism May support healthy gastric mucosa and microbial balance Ingredients Serving Size: 1 Vegetarian Capsule Amount/Serving Broccoli Blend (OptiBroc® Broccoli Extract (Brassica oleracea)(seed) [standardized to 13% glucoraphanin], Mustard Extract ( Sinapis alba/Brassica hirta )(seed) [yielding 24 mg of sulforaphane glucosinolate, 5 enzyme units of myrosinase]) 235 mg Other Ingredients: Cellulose (capsule), microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, vegetable stearate, ascorbic acid, silicon dioxide.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. More Info. BroccoProtect™ is a blend of specially cultivated broccoli seed extract (as TrueBroc®) and mustard seed powder (Sinapis alba) that provide sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) and the myrosinase enzyme, respectively. Myrosinase is needed for the maximal conversion of SGS to broccoli’s beneficial compound, sulforaphane (SFN). BroccoProtect™ is designed to help support detoxification pathways, antioxidant status, healthy estrogen metabolism, and cellular health. Sulforaphane glucosinolate targets pathways in the body that help support enzymes involved in the optimal function of both phases of detoxification. Raw cruciferous vegetable consumption in the U.S. is estimated at two servings per week, providing approximately 13 mg of SGS per day. To receive beneficial amounts of dietary SGS, three cups of raw broccoli or other cruciferous vegetables must be consumed per day. Additionally, cooking methods and food processing may inactivate the myrosinase in these vegetables, making supplementation with this formula a practical approach to reaching optimal sulforaphane levels. Sulforaphane Conversion The enzyme myrosinase (MYR) is required to convert sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) into its active form, sulforaphane (SFN), which is responsible for the beneficial effects of cruciferous vegetables. BroccoProtect™ provides both MYR (from mustard seed powder) and SGS (from broccoli seed extract) to ensure reliable conversion to active sulforaphane. Detoxification Support Sulforaphane targets pathways that help support enzymes involved in the optimal function of both phases of detoxification. This dual-phase support helps the body properly dispose of harmful substances, excess hormones, and natural waste products from normal metabolism. Cellular and Estrogen Metabolism Support Beyond detoxification, sulforaphane promotes normal cellular function, supports antioxidant status, and helps maintain healthy estrogen metabolism — making this formula relevant for both general detoxification support and hormonal health.
