Developer of ChemoProtective Foods

Brassica Protection Products LLC (BPP) is all about broccoli, a natural, potent antioxidant called Sulforaphane Glucosinolate (or "SGS™" for short), and disease prevention through diet and nutrition.

It all started back in 1992, when Dr. Paul Talalay and Dr. Jed W. Fahey of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine isolated a phytochemical in broccoli called sulforaphane glucosinolate. Their studies revealed that this compound, when broken down to its active form, sulforaphane, acts as a long-lasting antioxidant that detoxifies carcinogens in the body.

So THAT'S why your mother insisted you eat your broccoli!

Now with all the research going on worldwide exploring the healthy, disease preventive properties of fruits and vegetables, BPP is here to extol the virtues of broccoli and its baby sprouts, and support that scientific research.
