Biomax® Bio-Sulforaphane Advanced

Why Faithful to Nature Loves it:

If you've ever wondered whether your daily broccoli is actually doing anything at the cellular level. Spoiler: probably not enough - Biomax® Bio-Sulforaphane Advanced is the supplement your inner researcher has been looking for. Each capsule delivers a reliable 7mg of sulforaphane (the clever bit of Australian science ensures the conversion actually happens, instead of hoping your gut bacteria are having a good day). Sulforaphane flips on NRF2 (the master gene switch that activates your body's own detox, antioxidant, and cellular protection systems) paired with selenomethionine for an extra layer of defence. Clean, vegan, South African-made, and built around a mechanism that genuinely holds up to scrutiny. That's exactly why it's on our shelves (and in our fridges).

• Delivers a standardised 7mg sulforaphane per capsule (12:1 broccoli sprout extract, enzyme-active)
• Activates the NRF2 pathway: turns on hundreds of protective and detoxifying genes
• Supports natural cellular detoxification and liver function
• Helps maintain healthy cellular DNA integrity
• Supports immune health, joint health, and women's hormonal health
• May support healthy blood glucose levels
• Enhanced with 25µg selenomethionine, which works synergistically with sulforaphane for antioxidant protection
• Supports healthy glutathione production
• Gluten-free, preservative-free, GMO-free, and sugar-free
• Suitable for vegetarians
• Made in South Africa

Storage

Store in a cool place (below 25°C), away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Warnings

Very occasionally, gastrointestinal effects have been reported, including nausea, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhoea. Available data suggests these effects are most likely to occur in people with pre-existing gastrointestinal conditions, particularly dysbiosis. If affected, reducing the dose typically resolves symptoms - and many people find they can increase the dose again without recurrence once their gut adjusts. 

Did You Know?

Sulforaphane isn't actually present in broccoli itself - it's formed when the enzyme myrosinase acts on a precursor compound called glucoraphanin. This conversion can happen in the gut via intestinal bacteria, but the process is unpredictable and varies significantly between individuals. Biomax Bio-Sulforaphane Advanced uses proprietary Australian technology to ensure the conversion happens reliably before ingestion, delivering a consistent 7mg of bioavailable sulforaphane per capsule — regardless of your individual gut environment.

FAQ

Q: Why can't I just eat more broccoli to get sulforaphane?
A: Sulforaphane isn't present in broccoli or broccoli sprouts directly - it's only formed when a specific enzyme (myrosinase) reacts with a precursor compound (glucoraphanin) during chewing or digestion. The amount produced varies widely depending on the individual's gut microbiome, how the broccoli is prepared, and whether it's been cooked (heat destroys myrosinase). Biomax Bio-Sulforaphane Advanced bypasses this unpredictability entirely, delivering a standardised 7mg of sulforaphane per capsule regardless of gut environment.

Q: What is NRF2 and what does activating it actually do?
A: NRF2 is essentially a master switch inside your cells. When activated by sulforaphane, it switches on hundreds of protective genes that regulate detoxification enzymes, antioxidant production (including glutathione), and DNA protection. It can enhance beneficial genes, silence harmful ones, and support healthy epigenetic expression. Sulforaphane is one of the most potent natural NRF2 activators identified in scientific research.

Q: What does the selenium in this supplement do?
A: Research shows it works synergistically with sulforaphane at both the transcriptional and translational level to combat oxidative stress and protect cells. Most people's diets provide insufficient selenium, making it a meaningful addition to this formula.

Q: Who else is this supplement suited to, beyond general antioxidant support?
A: Based on its mechanism of action, Biomax Bio-Sulforaphane Advanced may be particularly relevant for people seeking support for joint health, women's hormonal health, and healthy blood glucose management. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalised guidance, especially if you are on medication.

Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Biomax Bio-Sulforaphane Advanced is well tolerated by most people. In rare cases, particularly in those with pre-existing gut conditions like dysbiosis, mild gastrointestinal discomfort may occur. If this happens, reducing the dose and gradually building up typically resolves the issue. Many people find they can increase back to a full dose without recurrence once the gut adjusts.
