Broccoli extract is produced from Brassica oleracea var. Italica (broccoli) florets and sprouts through controlled low-temperature extraction to preserve heat-sensitive glucosinolates. The primary bioactive compounds include glucoraphanin (sulforaphane glucosinolate), indole-3-carbinol, and diindolylmethane.
Broccoli extract is extensively researched for its role in supporting Phase II detoxification enzymes, antioxidant defense, and cellular health. The extract also provides dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is commercially used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutraceutical formulations.
