SGS (Sulforaphane Glucosinolate)

Overview

Increasingly, scientists are examining the role specific natural plant compounds (phytochemicals) may play in increasing the body's natural defense system. In 1992, researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine identified sulforaphane, a compound that occurs naturally in broccoli.

Johns Hopkins researchers believe that many phytochemicals, including sulforaphane, may help explain why diets rich in fruits and cruciferous vegetables are associated with health promotion.
