Unlocking the Benefits of Broccoli Extract: Nutrition and Wellness
2024-09-02

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica Plenck) is a nutrient-dense vegetable, rich in proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, carotene, B vitamins, vitamins A, C, K, calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, iron, and other essential minerals. It is often referred to as the "vegetable crown" due to its high nutritional content, containing 51mg of vitamin C per 100g, which is significantly higher than that found in tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, and rape.


Glucoraphanin is a key compound found in broccoli extract and is a precursor to sulforaphane, a potent antioxidant. Once ingested, glucoraphanin converts into sulforaphane in the body, providing strong antioxidant effects. The breakdown products of glucoraphanin include sulforaphane, sulforaphane nitrile, goitrin, and others, with sulforaphane being the most abundant and active compound.

Anti-Cancer Potential


Since the early 20th century, research has shown that cruciferous vegetables like broccoli have significant anti-cancer properties, making them stand out among other foods. Studies have consistently suggested a strong correlation between higher broccoli consumption and a reduced risk of cancer, with this relationship being supported by ongoing research.

UV Protection Benefits of Broccoli Extract

Broccoli has long been valued in the skincare industry, and recent research highlights its effectiveness in promoting healthy, resilient skin. Studies have shown that water extracts from broccoli seeds contain sulforaphane (SFN), a powerful compound that helps protect the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. SFN works by reducing the formation of sunburned cells in the epidermis and supporting collagen levels, making it particularly beneficial for skin exposed to UV rays.


Skin Brightening Benefits of Broccoli Extract

ORYZA, in collaboration with a leading Japanese cosmetics company, investigated the effects of broccoli extract and its components on protein carbonylation. The study revealed that broccoli extract, along with its glucoside components—glucoberteroin, glucoerucin, and glucosiberin—can inhibit protein carbonylation. This property suggests that broccoli extract may help improve skin tone and brightness as it naturally changes over time.

Supports Sleep Quality


Broccoli sprout extract is rich in antioxidants like sulforaphane, along with vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and sulfur-containing compounds. Sulforaphane is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may positively influence sleep quality by supporting the body's natural antioxidant system and promoting relaxation.
