The goal of this clinical trial is to compare how much glucoraphanin and sulforaphane from 3 different versions of broccoli extract supplements is absorbed into the body and excreted in urine. This study involves generally healthy adults age 18-60 years. The supplements contain glucoraphanin and myrosinase enzyme, both naturally occurring in cruciferous vegetables. Once ingested, glucoraphanin is converted to the bioactive compound sulforaphane, which is thought to have numerous health benefits, including cancer prevention.

This study aims to compare the bioavailability of 3 different versions of a broccoli extract supplement in generally healthy adults age 18-60 years who do not smoke or are not pregnant/lactating. The supplements contain glucoraphanin and myrosinase enzyme, both naturally occurring in cruciferous vegetables. Once ingested, glucoraphanin is converted to the bioactive compound sulforaphane, which is thought to have numerous health benefits, including cancer prevention. The amount of glucoraphanin that subjects will take will range from 35-70 mg. Glucoraphanin, sulforaphane, and sulforaphane metabolites will be measured in plasma and urine for 24 hours (plasma: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after supplement consumption; urine: 0-2, 2-4, 4-8, and 8-24 hour after supplement consumption).
