Ingredient and preparation
Sulforaphane products may use broccoli sprout preparations, glucoraphanin, myrosinase or combinations. These are not interchangeable labels.
Sources: National Library of Medicine, PubMed
Evidence and limits
The cited cancer RCT review found eight studies with variable regimens and substantial clinical and methodological heterogeneity. It reported inconsistent PSA findings and no pooled analysis, so it cannot establish cancer treatment or prevention for a broccoli-extract product.
Sources: National Library of Medicine, PubMed
Safety and a useful record
Preparation and precursor conversion can vary between products. Review product identity and health context instead of treating a pathway claim as a treatment claim.
Sources: National Library of Medicine, PubMed, National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
Record whether the label names sulforaphane itself, glucoraphanin or myrosinase, plus the outcome being followed.
