Sulforaphane is a biologically active phytochemical found in broccoli.

• Sulforaphane has shown to enhance phagocytic activity (Thejass P, et al. 2006). Phagocytosis is the ability of white blood cells to kill and engulf harmful substances.
• Sulforaphane is a potent inducer of phase II enzymes involved in detoxification (Ritz SA, et al. 2006).
• Sulforaphane has been found to have an anti-cancer effect (Karmakar S, et al. 2006, Herman-Antosiewicz A, et al. 2006).
• Data show that sulforaphane is a highly promising substance for cancer prevention (Tang L, et al. 2006).
• Sulforaphane may be promising in the treatment of cancers, including those characterized by increased inflammation and involving viral or bacterial-related pathologies (Myzak MC, et al. 2006).
