Answers about SYNERGIC nutrition: daily dose, microgreens, sulforaphane, broccoli and what each dose provides.

• Is 1 g per day enough?

  It may seem small. But microgreens are naturally highly concentrated in phytonutrients, and freeze-drying removes only the water, not the compounds themselves. What remains is the whole plant, with its phytonutrient m...

• How does cooking affect sulforaphane formation?

  Heat can inactivate myrosinase, the enzyme that converts glucoraphanin into sulforaphane. That is why broccoli rich in glucoraphanin does not guarantee an equivalent amount of sulforaphane. Boiling it can significantl...

• How do I know I’m really taking sulforaphane?

  Because we don’t settle for measuring its precursor, glucoraphanin. We have analyzed how much sulforaphane actually forms when you prepare SYNERGIC with water, under real consumption conditions. The result: each dose ...

• What is the daily dose of SYNERGIC?

  One dose is 1 g of SYNERGIC (one level measuring scoop, included), once a day. Each dose provides at least 10 mg of sulforaphane. Put the dose in a glass of cold or room-temperature water, stir, wait 2 minutes and dri...

• How much sulforaphane does one dose provide?

  Each dose of SYNERGIC provides at least 10 mg of sulforaphane, formed in your glass just before drinking, when you follow the three preparation steps. This is shown by our laboratory analyses, which you can review.

• How much sulforaphane do we need per day?

  There is no officially recommended daily amount of sulforaphane. Clinical studies have used very different doses depending on the objective being studied. That is why we cannot establish a single optimal amount for ev...

• Wouldn’t eating broccoli be enough?

  Eating broccoli is an excellent choice, and SYNERGIC does not aim to replace it. But obtaining sulforaphane depends on many factors: variety, maturity, preparation, temperature and myrosinase activity. SYNERGIC offers...

• Why does it cost more than other supplements?

  Because we do not start from an isolated industrial ingredient bought in bulk. Our Whole-food Sulforaphane System™ provides something an extract or an isolated molecule does not: sulforaphane activated by you, ensurin...

• Why not simply eat broccoli?

  Eating broccoli is excellent. But getting enough sulforaphane is not that simple. Young sprouts contain much more glucoraphanin than mature broccoli. In addition, producing sulforaphane requires myrosinase, a heat-sen...

• Why is SYNERGIC so nutritious?

  Because it is made of whole freeze-dried microgreens. These young plants stand out for their natural density in nutrients and phytonutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, carotenoids and glucosinolates. We...

• Can I get enough sulforaphane by eating broccoli?

  Broccoli is a natural source of glucoraphanin, the main precursor of sulforaphane. However, the amount of sulforaphane we actually obtain can vary enormously depending on the variety, maturity, preparation and myrosin...

• What are microgreens?

  They are young plants harvested a few days after germination. At this stage, they concentrate a high density of protective plant compounds, such as polyphenols, carotenoids and glucosinolates. That’s why we harvest th...
