Sulforaphane Broccoli Extract · 60 capsules

It's no secret that fruit and vegetables are healthy and can have a positive effect on athletic performance. One particularly healthy vegetable is broccoli, which is also very popular with bodybuilders. It is rich in sulforaphane - a sulphur-rich compound that has a variety of health benefits. Unfortunately, sulforaphane is sensitive to heat and is largely destroyed during cooking. This is why GN has launched Sulforaphane Broccoli Extract. One daily dose of Sulforaphane Broccoli Extract contains more sulforaphane than 750 grams of raw broccoli.

What are the benefits of Sulforaphane Broccoli Extract for athletes?

The health benefits of broccoli extract are numerous. Sulforaphane has been shown in studies to support post-workout recovery in several ways. This starts with an antioxidant effect that can protect muscle cells and cell DNA from free radical damage (4). In addition to this, sulforaphane has been shown to reduce muscle damage caused by hard training and counteract exercise-induced inflammatory reactions in the muscles through its anti-inflammatory effects (4,5).

Another benefit that also goes hand in hand with the anti-inflammatory effects of sulforaphane is its supportive function for the joints. Unfortunately, many athletes are familiar with joint pain caused by years of incorrect training. Broccoli extract was able to reduce inflammation in test subjects (4,5).

Sulforaphane also had an effect on the metabolism in studies. It was able to promote fat loss, counteract fat build-up and have a positive effect on insulin and leptin levels (6).

What other potential health benefits does Sulforaphane Broccoli Extract have?

Among the most important health benefits of sulforaphane are its numerous potential positive effects on cardiovascular health. Among other things, studies have shown a lowering effect on blood pressure (1,2), as well as a potential improvement in cholesterol levels (1,2). It has shown protective properties against hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) (2) and studies have shown that it reduces the risk of blood clots (2), which can be responsible for thrombosis and strokes.

In human studies, sulforaphane has been shown to promote liver function and improve several blood parameters related to liver health (7,8), while stimulating the production of detoxifying enzymes that can protect against a variety of environmental toxins (3,7).

Sulforaphane has been shown to boost immune function in subjects by increasing the activity of the immune system's killer cells and counteracting an age-related decline in immune function (4). In addition, sulforaphane appears to have an antiviral and antibacterial effect (4).

In human studies, sulforaphane significantly reduced both fasting blood glucose levels and HbA1c levels - a marker of average blood glucose levels over the previous three months - which could reduce the risk of diabetes and improve glycemic control (9).
