Sulforaphane is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli that has many health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-cancer effects.
When taking sulforaphane, there are two main forms of getting it into the body: capsule nutraceuticals and eating broccoli sprouts. Let’s look at the differences between these two approaches.
1. Concentration: nutraceuticals high in glucoraphanin and myrosinase can provide a very high concentration of sulforaphane with an excellent bioavailability ratio in the body. For example, one capsule of Sulforaphane EXTRA contains an amount of 5 kg of glucoraphanin that would be difficult to achieve by consuming a normal meal.
2. Consistency.
3. Ease of use.
4. Myrosinase: Myrosinase is an enzyme that converts glucoraphanin to sulforaphane. The added myrosinase ensures that glucoraphanin is effectively converted to sulforaphane in the body and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
1. Broccoli sprouts are a naturalsource of sulforaphane. Eating fresh sprouts provides other beneficial phytonutrients, fiber, vitamins and minerals in addition to sulforaphane.
2. Bioavailability: Sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts is naturally bioavailable and can be better absorbed by the body.
3. Long-term benefits.
4. Although broccoli sprouts contain sulforaphane, the concentrations are lower than in special dietary supplements. To achieve high doses, large quantities of sprouts would need to be consumed.
The decision between taking Sulforaphane EXTRA with Myrosinase and consuming broccoli sprouts depends on individual needs and preferences. Dietary supplements may be appropriate for those seeking high and consistent doses of sulforaphane for medical purposespurposes, while broccoli sprouts are a great option for those who prefer natural sources and overall nutrition. However, for long term use, the capsule seems to be the clearly preferable choice, both for economic reasons and because of the sustainable availability of the equivalent of 5 kg of glucoraphanin per day.
