How can sulforaphane been taken?
![]() |
To our knowledge, Sulforaphane can’t be bought as a pure substance in a drug, but may be absorbed through the diet in therapeutically effective doses. Cruciferous plants contain Sulforaphane and similar effective mustard oils. They include broccoli and cauliflower as well as all other types of cabbage, e.g. sauerkraut, as well as watercress, nasturtium, arugula, radish, horseradish, rutabaga with turnip greens, rape, mustard and capers (see above).
Meanwhile many manufacturers make the broccoli seeds or freeze-dried broccoli sprouts available packed as a powder or in capsules.
