Broccoli Extract Sulforaphane CAS 4478-93-7 | Factory Manufacturer
What is Sulforaphane?
Sulforaphane is predominantly abundant in cruciferous vegetables, with broccoli being a typical source. It naturally occurs in plant cells as glucosinolates. When plant tissues are crushed or damaged, endogenous myrosinase hydrolyzes glucosinolates to produce sulforaphane. Similarly, after humans consume cruciferous vegetables, myrosinase in the body can also convert part of glucosinolates into bioactive sulforaphane.
