Harness the phytonutrient power of broccoli in a highly concentrated form to protect your good health with Swanson Made with Organic Sprouted Broccoli Seed. Broccoli has a longstanding reputation as one of our healthiest vegetables, and for good reason. It’s packed with vitamins, minerals and valuable phytonutrients with protective properties to promote overall health. One of the most important of these phytonutrients is sulforaphane, a compound that acts as a “signaling” molecule to activate the expression of genes involved in the production of detoxification and antioxidant enzymes throughout the body.
Although sulforaphane is found in most cruciferous vegetables, the most concentrated source by far is newly sprouted broccoli seeds, which contain more than a hundred times more sulforaphane by mass than found in the mature plant, making them the ideal option for enhancing the body’s sulforaphane levels. Our Sprouted Broccoli Seed packs 400 mg of sprouted broccoli seeds into convenient veggie capsules that make it easy to optimize your intake of sulforaphane and all of the other phytonutrients found in this valuable nutritional resource.

FAQ
- What Are the Benefits of Sprouted Broccoli Supplements?
Sprouted broccoli supplements provide concentrated levels of glucoraphanin and other beneficial compounds naturally found in young broccoli sprouts. Research suggests these compounds may help support antioxidant defenses, cellular health, healthy aging, and the body's natural detoxification processes. - What Is Sulforaphane and Why Is It Important?
Sulforaphane is a bioactive compound produced when glucoraphanin, found in broccoli sprouts, is converted by the enzyme myrosinase. It is one of the most extensively studied compounds in cruciferous vegetables and has been researched for its role in supporting antioxidant activity, cellular health, and the body's natural detoxification pathways. - Are Broccoli Sprouts Better Than Broccoli?
Both broccoli sprouts and mature broccoli provide valuable nutrients, but broccoli sprouts naturally contain much higher concentrations of glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane. As a result, broccoli sprouts are often used in supplements designed to deliver concentrated sulforaphane-supporting compounds and targeted antioxidant support. - What Makes Swanson MADE Organic® Sprouted Broccoli Seed Unique?
Swanson MADE Organic® Sprouted Broccoli Seed features 400 mg of certified organic sprouted broccoli seed in each capsule. Sprouting naturally increases the availability of beneficial compounds found in broccoli seeds, including glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane. - Is Swanson MADE Organic® Sprouted Broccoli Seed Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson MADE Organic® Sprouted Broccoli Seed is made with non-GMO ingredients and is suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles. However, this product is not certified dairy free or gluten free.
