In this podcast, Dr. John Gildea and Dr. Martin Katz discusses how the two stabilized sulforaphane supplements on the market, BrocElite and Broq, compare. They highlight the difference in extraction methods (toxic chemical solvents vs water) and how one activates the Nrf-2 pathway, and one does not.

Hi thanks for sharing. I referred back to Broq and I believe they have a new improved version since Nov 2024 (after this podcast was recorded), that doesn’t use solvents

BrocElite replied:
Yes, before November 2024, BROQ used a stable sulforaphane out of France (prostaphane) that did use chemical solvents. Now, they do not use stable sulforaphane, but rather a combination of precursors (glucoraphanin and myrosinase). Here is our breakdown on the science behind stable vs precursor supplements: https://mara-labs.com/blogs/journal/what-is-the-best-sulforaphane-supplement
