Medjuica’s Broccoli Sprout Juice is a powerful 40ml shot, the equivalent of consuming 2.6kg of the Broccoli cruciferous vegetable. It has the enzyme Glucoraphanin, a water-soluble precursor of the phytochemical Sulforaphane, this helps detoxify and eliminate oxidative stress from toxic sources by activating the Nrf2 cell survival response. Young broccoli sprouts contain 10–100 times more sulforaphane than is found in the mature plant.
Sulphorafane was discovered in 1992 by Dr.Paul Talalay, Director of the Laboratory for Molecular Pharmacology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, together with Biochemist Professor Jed Fahey. They conducted extensive research into Broccoli sprouts studies around ulcers, autism, schizophrenia, cardiovascular disease, cancer and more. Over 2,000 scientific studies have been conducted on the benefits of this super-compound.
Medjuica’s Broccoli Sprout Juice packs a powerful punch in its 40ml shot boasting enzymes (myrosinase and glucoraphanin) and nutrients.Broccoli sprouts belong to the cruciferous vegetable family, which have been studied for their potent anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.Glucoraphanin is a water-soluble precursor of sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate occurring in stored form as glucoraphanin.Sulforaphane is released during digestion or machination. Sulforaphane helps neutralise toxins.
Young broccoli sprouts contain 10–100 times more sulforaphane than is found in mature plants and other cruciferous vegetables, including kale, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage.
When our body is exposed to a build-up of excessive toxins such as pollution, tobacco smoke, alcohol, environmental toxins such as mould, everyday household products such as bleach or deodorants, dietary chemicals in the form of pesticides, or radiation, a stress response pathway called the Nrf2, which controls over 200 genes, leaps into action, regulating antioxidant enzymes involved in the detoxification and elimination of oxidative stress from toxic sources. The Sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts activates the Nrf2 cell survival response to mitigate oxidative stress.
Ingredients: Organic broccoli sprout juice 99.8%, vegan lactic acid 0.2%
Cold-water High-Pressure Processing is used to pasteurise the broccoli juice, this increases the available sulforaphane.
Nutritional Data
Nutritional benefits
Sulforaphanet neutralizes toxins. Phytochemicals like sulforaphane are antioxidants that cancel out free radicals. Free radical are tiny particles that weaken and damage healthy cells. They form in your body because of pollution, UV rays, food additives and preservatives, and even through natural processes like digestion.
It reduces inflammation. Because sulforaphane neutralizes toxins, it also calms inflammation in your body. Inflammation has been linked to several kinds of cancer.
It may protect your DNA. Some studies have shown that sulforaphane blocks mutations in DNA that lead to cancer.
It may slow tumor growth. Sulforaphane has been shown to reduce the ability of cancerous cells to multiply. That means it may slow tumor growth or reduce its ability to spread to other parts of your body.
It is readily available. You don’t have to do anything complicated to access the sulforaphane in cruciferous vegetables. All you have to do is steam the veggies or eat them raw. Roasting them also retains most of the nutrients.
Sulforaphane comes from the breakdown of glucoraphanin using the myrosinase that is in the plant. When the plant is crushed the glucoraphanin mixes with the myrosinase to yield isothiocyanates including sulforaphane; the magic ingredient.
There are 25 micromoles of the desired isothiocyanates including sulforaphane per 10ml juice. This means a 40ml bottle contains at least 100 micromoles of isothiocyanates including sulforaphane.
What does that mean? The John Hopkins Medical Research Centre published studies on cancer, autism and pollution remediation, recommending a daily dose of 40 micromoles. They also noted that there is no known toxic level of dose.
Medjuica’s broccoli sprout juice has at least 250% of the daily dose recommended by the John Hopkins Institute.

Here are a few examples of ultra-nutritious food.
Steel-cut Oats (soaked overnight), sugarless Granola, Plain Greek-style Yoghurt (add Medjuica seeds and nuts) raw honey* blueberries (do not eat with the yoghurt), chopped apple, passion fruit, other fruits.
Raw vegetables cut into batons (cucumber, carrots, cauliflower, celery, spring onions) Hummus, Poached Eggs, Avocados, cottage cheese, cheddar, Gruyère. Vegetable Soups.
An array of fresh vegetables (rainbow colours) with garlic, sweet or purple potatoes. DID YOU KNOW: If you add extra virgin olive oil to a plate of vegetables that has starch, your uptake of the nutritious carotenoids is greatly enhanced because of the EVOO (carotenoids are the colour pigment in vegetables) This study was pioneered by Professor Mary Flynn from Browns University in the USA. For added polyphenols, use spices & herbs.
Salads: Salad leaves, eggs, radishes, tinned or soaked legumes (beans), red onions, tomatoes, chicory, asparagus, grated carrots, red cabbage, peas. Consider adding: chopped orange, apple, figs, nuts, seeds, and olives.. Dressing: extra virgin olive oil with lemon juices or balsamic vinegar, Add Himalayan sea salt & black pepper which contain polyphenols (used glass not plastic containers). Wild sustainable oily fish (tinned is fine), brown rice or quinoa.
*If pregnant avoid raw honey and unpasteurised cheese
