topicSulforaphane Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimBackground/Objectives : Broccoli-derived glucoraphanin (a sulforaphane precursor that activates Nrf2 defenses) may aid repair; however, its short-term effects in humans remain unknown.

topicSulforaphane Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimConclusions : In conclusion, broccoli powder supplementation, despite efficient delivery of sulforaphane, does not seem to either acutely affect performance or modify oxidative stress and recovery from metabolically demanding exercise.
