Buy Broccoli Extract – Sulforaphane from Broccoli Sprouts & Seeds
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is a brassica vegetable from the cruciferous family. It is known above all for the secondary plant compound sulforaphane, a sulphur-containing breakdown product of mustard oil glycosides formed from its precursor glucoraphanin. In this category, you'll find broccoli extracts and sprout powder from Scheunengut – standardised, vegan and lab-tested.
Origin & Extraction
The raw materials are obtained from broccoli sprouts and seeds, which have a particularly high content of glucoraphanin. The sprouts are gently dried and processed into powder or extract, so that the glucoraphanin they contain is preserved.
Standardisation & Format
The decisive factor is the standardised content of glucoraphanin or sulforaphane – high-quality extracts declare it transparently, often at a minimum of 10%. Also important is the enzyme myrosinase, which accompanies the conversion of glucoraphanin into sulforaphane. Broccoli extract is available as a capsule or powder, sometimes combined with natural vitamin C.
What to Look for When Buying
- Standardised, transparently declared sulforaphane or glucoraphanin content
- Sourced from broccoli sprouts or seeds, ideally with active myrosinase
- Vegan, without unnecessary additives
- Independently lab-tested purity and quality

Häufige Fragen zu Broccoli
What is broccoli extract known for?
Broccoli extract is best known for the plant compound sulforaphane, a sulphur-containing breakdown product of its precursor, glucoraphanin. It is precisely because of this characteristic mustard oil glycoside that people value concentrated extracts from broccoli sprouts. Broccoli belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family and is a natural source of these plant compounds.
What's the difference between glucoraphanin and sulforaphane?
Glucoraphanin is the precursor from which the active plant compound sulforaphane is formed via the enzyme myrosinase. This means that, with extracts, it's not just the glucoraphanin content that matters, but also that this conversion remains possible. High-quality products state their content transparently, often at a minimum of 10 per cent.
What is the raw material derived from?
The raw materials come from broccoli sprouts and seeds, which have a particularly high glucoraphanin content. The sprouts are gently dried and processed into powder or extract, so the glucoraphanin they contain is preserved. Our broccoli extract is standardised, vegan and lab-tested.
What should I look out for when buying?
The key factor is a standardised, transparently stated glucoraphanin or sulforaphane content. Also make sure the raw material comes from sprouts or seeds and is lab-tested. This way, you get an extract with a consistent, traceable active content rather than plain broccoli powder.
