Frequently asked questions
- What is the active ingredient in BroccoMax?
- It is broccoli seed extract supplying sulforaphane glucosinolate (also called glucoraphanin), plus the enzyme myrosinase that converts it into sulforaphane in the intestine.
- Why is the capsule delayed-release?
- The myrosinase enzyme is sensitive to stomach acid. A delayed-release capsule is intended to carry it past the stomach so the conversion to sulforaphane can happen in the intestine.
- Is it suitable for vegans?
- Yes. Jarrow lists BroccoMax as vegan and gluten-free, in a vegetarian capsule.
- What does the IGEN certification cover?
- IGEN is a non-GMO testing programme — it verifies the ingredients are sourced free of genetically modified material. It is not a banned-substance or purity test.
