From Genetics to Ingredients
From the Source
CS Health develops broccoli-derived glucoraphanin ingredients designed for modern supplements, nutrition, and functional product formulations.
Our ingredient platform helps brands and formulators develop products that naturally deliver sulforaphane the way nature intended.
BroccoRaphanin®
The Original Sulforaphane Glucosinolate Ingredient
BroccoRaphanin® is CS Health’s flagship broccoli-derived ingredient platform. It was developed to deliver glucoraphanin, the naturally occurring precursor to sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane itself is highly reactive and unstable. Because of that, many nutritional strategies focus on delivering glucoraphanin, the stable precursor found naturally in broccoli.
BroccoRaphanin® gives formulators a reliable way to build around broccoli’s most studied biochemical pathway.
BroccoRaphanin® Options
BroccoRaphanin® Basic
A natural source of glucoraphanin derived from broccoli seed material. Designed for applications where formulators want an economical source of glucoraphanin that is suitable for capsules, tablets, powders, and other nutritional delivery formats.
BroccoRaphanin® Plus
A higher glucoraphanin content option designed for formulations requiring higher concentrations of the active ingredient while maintaining the same agricultural and processing foundation.
Activated BroccoRaphanin®
Built to Support Sulforaphane Generation
Activated BroccoRaphanin® combines glucoraphanin with a natural source of myrosinase derived from horseradish.
This supports the natural biochemical relationship found in broccoli, where myrosinase converts glucoraphanin to sulforaphane, creating the bioactive compound consumers seek.
For formulators looking to build more complete sulforaphane-focused products, Activated BroccoRaphanin® provides a practical, plant-based ingredient solution.
Activated BroccoRaphanin® Plus
A higher potency activated ingredient designed for formulations seeking greater glucoraphanin content with enzymatic activation.
Why Glucoraphanin Matters
The Precursor to Sulforaphane
Glucoraphanin is a naturally occurring glucosinolate found in broccoli and other Brassica vegetables.
Everything starts with glucoraphanin. From seed genetics and cultivation to ingredient manufacturing and formulation, the amount of glucoraphanin present in broccoli can influence the value and performance of the finished ingredient. That is why our work begins long before production, with the development of exceptional broccoli seed varieties.
Because sulforaphane is unstable, working with glucoraphanin gives formulators a practical way to build sulforaphane-focused products.
Made for Formulators

Quality Built In
From Genetics to Testing
Botanical ingredients are complex. Small differences in genetics, growing conditions, processing, heat, oxygen, and storage can affect final quality.
CS Health manages these variables through:
Traditional broccoli breeding
Carefully selected broccoli varieties
Controlled production
cGMP manufacturing
Batch testing
Traceability
Our goal is to provide ingredients that behave predictably in formulation, research, and finished products.
