Broccoli Extract with Glucosinolates
Swanson
Overview
This broccoli extract supplement provides glucosinolates, which convert to beneficial compounds like sulforaphane. However, the actual efficacy of the supplement is tied to how well these compounds are absorbed and converted by the body. The current dosage is on the low end of the suggested effective range. Therefore, the supplement is likely to have a limited but potentially beneficial effect, especially in individuals at risk of cardiovascular issues.
