Jarrow Formulas BroccoMax®: Myrosinase-Activated Sulforaphane
Jarrow Formulas BroccoMax® utilizes a patented, supercritical extraction process to yield a standardized concentration of Sulforaphane Glucosinolate (SGS) alongside active myrosinase enzymes from non-GMO broccoli seeds. Known as The Sulforaphane Generator™, BroccoMax uses gastro-resistant DRCaps® to protect sensitive enzymes through stomach acid, ensuring maximum conversion to active sulforaphane in the small intestine.
- Active Conversion Engine: Combines Sulforaphane Glucosinolate (glucoraphanin) with live Myrosinase enzyme and Calcium Ascorbate for optimal activation.
- Highly Concentrated: Up to 20 times more concentrated than whole broccoli plants.
- Targeted Yield: Demonstrated in vitro to yield approximately 8 mg of actual sulforaphane per capsule.
- Cellular & Phase II Detox Support: Stimulates Phase II detoxifying enzymes to defend against oxidative stress and support cellular health.
- Acid-Resistant Delivery: HPMC DRCaps® protect active compounds for targeted small-intestine delivery.
What is Sulforaphane and How Does It Work?
Sulforaphane is a potent organosulfur compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. Celebrated for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, sulforaphane activates the body’s Nrf2 pathway, driving the production of Phase II detoxification enzymes (such as glutathione S-transferases) and supporting healthy cellular replication, DNA protection, and gut microbiome balance.
Glucoraphanin vs. Myrosinase: The Activation Key
To unlock the health benefits of cruciferous vegetables, two distinct components must interact:
- Glucoraphanin (SGS): The naturally occurring precursor compound stored in plant cells. On its own, glucoraphanin is biologically inactive.
- Myrosinase: The essential plant enzyme required to break down glucoraphanin into bioactive, absorbable sulforaphane.
Because heat from cooking destroys raw myrosinase, standard broccoli extracts often fail to convert into effective sulforaphane. Jarrow BroccoMax® solves this by preserving active myrosinase directly within every capsule, ensuring predictable activation upon digestion.
Suggested Use
