- What is sulforaphane and why take it?
- Sulforaphane is a compound formed from glucoraphanin in broccoli sprouts. It is studied for antioxidant and cellular-defense effects. This product supplies it as a sprout extract capsule.
- How does it compare with broccoli powder capsules?
- Broccoli powder capsules mostly contain dried vegetable, while this is a sprout extract aimed at sulforaphane. That makes it more targeted, but check the label for how much sulforaphane you actually get.
- Is it gluten free?
- Yes. Swanson lists this product as gluten free.
- How many capsules are in a bottle?
- 60 capsules per bottle.
- Can I get the same effect from eating broccoli sprouts?
- Fresh sprouts contain sulforaphane precursors, but amounts vary with growing conditions. A capsule gives a consistent serving, though the label does not state the sulforaphane amount per capsule.
- Where is the Swanson Sulforaphane Broccoli Sprout Extract cheapest?
- At Swanson, for $11.19, as of our latest check.
