“This is a video on how to plausibly increase the sulforaphane created from the glucoraphanin in your broccoli sprouts by up to 3.5-fold, based on the results of a 2004 Phytochemistry paper entitled "Heating decreases epithiospecifier protein activity and increases sulforaphane formation in broccoli."”

“When cruciferous plants are crushed or damaged by insect attack or human consumption, the myrosinases hydrolyze the glucosinolates to yield a variety of degradation products, including isothiocyanate compounds.”

“FTA: > Including a new broccoli variety in the diet reduces blood LDL-cholesterol levels by around 6 percent, according to the results of human trials. The broccoli variety was bred to contain two to three times more of a naturally occurring compound glucoraphanin. It is now available in supermarkets in England, under the name Beneforte.”

“Key players in the glucoraphanin variability in broccoli sprouts are the seeds from which the tiny plants germinate. Seeds house all the nutrients and protective compounds (such as glucoraphanin) the future plant will require as it sprouts and begins to grow.”

“A few reliable supplement manufacturers use reliably sourced broccoli seed extract to obtain the glucoraphanin for their products. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey names several reliable supplemental sources of sulforaphane.”

“Although many glucosinolates exist in nature – primarily in cruciferous plants – Dr. Fahey discovered that young broccoli sprouts contain 10 to 100 times more glucoraphanin than any other plant.”

“Dietary supplements carry inherent risks, however, so choosing a supplement that contains the desired product – glucoraphanin or stabilized sulforaphane – will likely yield the desired results. Choosing a supplement manufacturer with a proven track record of safety is important, too.”

“The highest quantities of glucoraphanin are found in broccoli, especially broccoli sprouts. Related vegetables, like broccoli rabe, cauliflower, and others have negligible amounts. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey enumerates the vegetables in which sulforaphane is found.”

“Broccoli sprouts store glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane, rather than large amounts of preformed sulforaphane. Crushing or chewing brings glucoraphanin together with the enzyme myrosinase and produces sulforaphane.”

“For example, glucoraphanin content differs based on a plant's life stage, cultivar, and growing conditions, and myrosinase, an enzyme, is heat-sensitive and rapidly denatures during normal cooking processes.”
