Backed By Science!
Here are just a few of the science-backed benefits of sulforaphane found in living broccoli sprouts:
Cancer Fighting
Sulforaphane has been shown to stimulate the production of enzymes in the body that detoxify cancer-causing substances before they have a chance to damage cells.1
Anti-inflammatory
It inhibits multiple types of inflammasones and can improve a variety of inflammation-based diseases such as IBD, atherosclerosis, respiratory conditions like asthma and certain autoimmune disorders.2
Neuroprotective
It’s packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals that are shown to help prevent brain diseases and have a neuroprotective effect.3
Anti-diabetic
Sulforaphane was found to best reverse the disease signature in liver tissue for Type2 diabetes and even decrease fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.4
Liver-protective
In studies, patients given broccoli sprout extract had significantly decreased serum levels of liver function markers, including ALT, γ-GTP and alkali phosphatase. It also prevented chronic liver failure in rats!5
Defends Against Gut Pathogens
Studies show that sulforaphane can help kill H. Pylori in the gut, with high effectiveness against bacterial strains resistant to the antibiotics clarithromycin and metronidazole.6
BroccoBoost is the result of a years-long collaboration between world-renowned vegan canine nutritionist Diana Laverdure-Dunetz, MS and a small organic farm in the Hudson River Valley of New York state.
Diana became intrigued by the healing powers of sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts while researching and writing her book, The Plant-Powered Dog: Unleash the healing powers of a whole-food plant-based diet to help your canine companion enjoy a healthier, longer life.
Diana knew that she wanted to offer her canine clients (and their humans) the highest quality, most potent broccoli sprout powder. BroccoBoost is the result!

BroccoBoost FAQs
How should I store BroccoBoost?
To maintain the efficacy and freshness of the product, store it at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Be sure to avoid exposing it to moisture. Do not refrigerate BroccoBoost, as this will encourage moisture to form.
Can people take BroccoBoost?
Absolutely! BroccoBoost is a 100% human-grade product that ALSO benefits our canine companions! A typical dosage for people is 1 teaspoon per day mixed into water or a smoothie or sprinkled on top of your snack or meal. Always start out slowly and increase the daily amount based on your individual tolerance.
Can hypothyroid dogs and people use it?
Research on the effects of broccoli sprouts and thyroid function are limited. According to a 2019 study, “Broccoli sprouts have been confirmed not to have any harmful effects on the thyroid homeostasis in animals in terms of TSH, fT3 and fT4 levels which remained unchanged. For animals with hypothyroidism, broccoli sprouts exert a beneficial influence on the antioxidant balance of the thyroid gland.”7
However, broccoli is a goitrogenic food, meaning that it can further impair thyroid function in hypothyroid individuals. For that reason, I advice consulting with your veterinarian or medical provider before taking BroccoBoost if you or your dog suffer from hypothyroidism.
Are there risks to sulforaphane?
As with other sulforaphane-rich cruciferous veggies, the most common undesirable side effect of broccoli sprouts is gastrointestinal issues such as gas, bloating and loose stool. This is why it is essential to start off slowly (I recommend starting at one-third the recommended dose and working your way up) and to not overdo it. If you notice that your dog is having any unwanted gastrointestinal effects, be sure to reduce the amount you give. Remember that more is not always better! This is a raw, living food so only a little is needed to achieve the beneficial effects.8
