Sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) is a natural substance extracted from the seeds and sprouts of select broccoli varietals. It is an indirect antioxidant that provides long-lasting cell protection from free radical damage.* Typical antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta carotene, work "directly" to neutralize free radicals and are usually effective for only approximately three hours after ingestion.* When Thorne's Crucera-SGS is ingested and begins to break down in the gut, it releases sulforaphane, thereby activating the body's natural detoxification and antioxidant enzymes and providing protection to cells from free radical damage for several days.* Each capsule of Thorne's Crucera-SGS is equivalent to eating two pounds of cooked broccoli.*



Sulforaphane was first identified in 1992 by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and is now believed to be the key component of many of the health benefits attributed to cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale.* Research on sulforaphane has produced more than 500 journal articles over the past two decades.

Eva ★★★★★

Three weeks in and the afternoon slump I used to fight with coffee is just... gone. I like that it's sulforaphane glucosinolate rather than plain broccoli powder, since that's apparently the form your body actually converts. Taking one capsule with breakfast has been an easy habit to keep.

Natalie X. ★★★★★

Honestly wasn't expecting much from another supplement, but the fact that this delivers sulforaphane glucosinolate in a stable extract form is what sold me. I've been taking it each morning and noticing my joints feel less achy by mid-afternoon, which is a nice bonus for a cell-protection product.

Sofia ★★★★★

Four weeks in and I notice my energy stays steady through the afternoon, which feels like a real shift. The capsules are small and easy to swallow, and the idea of long-lasting cell protection from the sulforaphane is what sold me.
