Glucoraphanin, a sulfur-producing glucosinolate, is the precursor to sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is the most beneficial compound in broccoli microgreens.

Several studies have shown that broccoli microgreens high in glucoraphanin decreased oxidative stress and inflammation in kidneys and reduced blood pressure in the cardiovascular system.

Other studies have shown that sulforaphane is a potential candidate drug for AD therapy and prevention.

Sulforaphane has also been shown to reduce inflammation in the respiratory pathways and the symptoms of asthma.

The sulforaphane and carotenoids in broccoli contain powerful oxidants that heal the damage to our eyes’ retinal cells.

New studies[1] also show that sulforaphane reduces glucose production in your liver and improves glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
