EXTRABROC® Stable High Conversion Sulforaphane
EXTRABROC® is a patented functional food ingredient system comprised of three main modules: standardized broccoli seed water extract, active black myrosinase, and a patented stabilization system. Its core objective is to increase the body's effective sulforaphane production (ESY). It transforms the long-standing industry debate of "how high is the content?" into a more fundamental question: "How much active sulforaphane can the human body ultimately produce?" This makes the ingredient's functional capabilities measurable, verifiable, and deliverable.
EXTRABROC® Broccoli Seed Water Extract
EXTRABROC® stable high-conversion sulforaphane production raw materials form a complete and verifiable causal chain: seed source locking input → stable enzyme activity preservation → enzyme activity promoting conversion → conversion to ESY → clinical validation of ESY.
Product Name: Broccoli Seed Water Extract
Other names: Broccoli extract, Broccoli seed extract, Kale extract, Sulforaphane, etc.
Appearance: White to yellowish-brown powder
Extraction source: Broccoli seeds
Product specifications: sulforaphane 5-20%, sulforaphane 0.4-13%; other specifications can be customized.
• First generation: Glucosamine extract (stable but conversion is uncontrollable)
• Second generation: Pure sulforaphane raw material (no conversion required but extremely unstable, requires cold chain storage)
• Third generation: Sulforaphane production raw materials (such as EXTRABROC®, which is stable in vitro, highly efficient in vivo, and clinically validated).
Commercially available broccoli seed water extracts may meet USP/GRAS and new food ingredient requirements, yet still face challenges such as **limited efficacy, poor room-temperature stability, and insufficient clinical evidence.
The key is whether they can stably convert sufficient sulforaphane at compliant dosages, demonstrate proven human benefits, and maintain long-term stability for industrial production.
Barrier 1: Own high-content seed sources, securing the starting point for ESY
The broccoli seed-specific variety FS08/FS314 was independently bred, with a GRN content of ≥5.5%, which is 2-3 times higher than that of ordinary commercial varieties[15], ensuring high purity, high consistency and long-term stable supply from the source.

Barrier 2: High stability at room temperature for 24 months, laying the foundation for ESY
By using a patented stabilization system (Chinese Invention Patent ZL202211488217.2[16], Japanese Patent No. 7379533[17]) to protect enzyme activity and precursors, room temperature storage for 24 months is achieved: completely eliminating reliance on cold chain.
Barrier 3: Intragastric enzymatic conversion rate ≥55%, ending the "intestinal lottery"
Enzyme-free products completely delegate the conversion task to the consumer's gut microbiota, with an average conversion rate of only about 10%, and individual differences of up to 40 times [Cancer Prev Res (Phila). 2012 April ; 5(4): 603-611] . The product effect is like a "lottery" ; turning "lottery that varies from person to person" into "certainty that everyone can predict".
Barrier 4: Clinical Evidence to Verify ESY's Human Value
More than 10 human clinical trials and real-world studies have been completed in multiple centers, providing authoritative endorsement of its high-end scientific efficacy.
