Dr. Mercola's fermented broccoli sprouts combine the natural nutritional benefits of broccoli sprouts with a specially developed fermentation process. The result is a high-quality supplement with standardized content of bioactive plant compounds.
Valued for their sulforaphane content
Broccoli sprouts are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are especially valued for their content of sulforaphane, a sulfur-containing plant compound formed from glucoraphanin that has been studied for its health-promoting properties.
Unique fermentation process
The unique fermentation technique is developed to optimize the quality, bioavailability, and nutritional content of the ingredients, making the product an easy way to supplement a healthy diet with broccoli's valuable plant compounds.
The fermentation process helps break down certain natural components in the plant, which can make the nutrients more accessible to the body. At the same time, the process helps improve the raw material's nutritional profile and makes it gentler on digestion.

How are these fermented broccoli sprouts processed?
Dr. Mercola's fermented broccoli sprouts are a concentrated powder, not an extract, so no solvents or harsh extraction processes are used. They start by fermenting the broccoli sprouts to increase their nutrient content, then proceed with a low-temperature drying process to preserve myrosinase activity.
Is the content of glucoraphanin and myrosinase standardized?
Yes, these fermented broccoli sprouts are standardized to contain 350 mcg of glucoraphanin and 105 mcg of myrosinase, so you can be confident you’re getting the benefits of this powerful duo.
How do glucoraphanin and myrosinase work in broccoli and broccoli sprouts?
Glucoraphanin is a phytochemical belonging to the group of glucosinolates, primarily found in cruciferous vegetables, while myrosinase is an enzyme.
When the two compounds come into contact, myrosinase converts glucoraphanin into sulforaphane, a unique and powerful antioxidant.
