Abstract
TrueBroc® Glucoraphanin-Rich Broccoli Seed Extract (TrueBroc®), is a hot water extract of Brassica oleracea var. Italica Plenck (Brassicaceae) seeds. The broccoli seeds are non-genetically modified and are tested and selected for their specific glucosinolate content. TrueBroc® contains greater than 99% of the aliphatic glucosinolate glucoraphanin and its precursor glucoerucin in the glucosinolate fraction. A battery of toxicology assays was conducted on TrueBroc® which includes in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity studies, an acute oral toxicity study in rats, a subchronic toxicology study in rats. The result from the subchronic rat study establishes a NOAEL of 1500 mg/kg/day.
