Broccoli sprout powder comes from a group of cruciferous vegetables, a group of vegetables which has been linked to a decreased risk for chronic disease. This includes cardiovascular disease and cancer, due to their anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting effects. Broccoli sprouts are also rich in a group of compounds called glucosinolates.

While all cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates, broccoli sprouts have 10-100 times more than mature broccoli and most other cruciferous vegetables. When broccoli sprouts are consumed, the glucosinolates are converted into a powerful antioxidant called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane helps to combat free radicals in the body, with research showing that broccoli sprouts can help to reduce oxidative stress.
