The Science
Our products are based on more than 30 years of academic and clinical research, so you can trust our broccoli really is a health superstar.
8,000+ studies.
One conclusion.
Broccoli contains a range of natural active ingredients, which have been extensively studied over more than 30 years for their health-boosting effects.
With more than 8,000 research papers published, scientists have come to one clear conclusion:
"All evidence points to broccoli... as being protective against a variety of chronic and even infectious conditions."

Our clinical trials
Our super-broccoli is supercharged to deliver up to 5x the health benefits of standard varieties.
It’s been tested in gold-standard clinical trials for supporting:
Metabolic health
Eating a weekly portion of super-broccoli for 12 weeks helped to rebalance cells to improve metabolic health.
Blood sugar
Eating a weekly portion of our super-broccoli for 6 months caused a drop in blood glucose levels, with a further drop seen after 18 months.
Cholesterol levels
In two studies, eating a weekly portion of super-broccoli for 12 weeks led to a 5-7% reduction in 'bad' LDL cholesterol levels.
Prostate health
Eating a weekly portion of our super-broccoli for 12 months led to genetic changes in prostate cancer cells, suggesting a reduced risk of the cancer progressing.
Cell health
Eating our super-broccoli activated genes associated with anti-cancer, antioxidant and cytoprotective effects, indicating improved cell health.
Ongoing clinical trials
We’re continuing to explore the benefits of our super-broccoli in new studies, including:
Prostate cancer
Scientists are following-up on patients within our previous ESCAPE trial to see the effect of our super-broccoli on prostate cancer progression.
Funded by The Prostate Cancer Foundation. We will update this page with results once available.
Osteoarthritis
The BRIO study is exploring whether our super-broccoli could help limit pain and slow the progress of joint damage in osteoarthritis.
Funded by Versus Arthritis. More information is available on the BRIO (BRoccoli In Osteoarthritis) website.
Sports recovery
Our clinical trials are exploring whether our super-broccoli could improve endurance, performance and recovery during and after exercise.
Funded by Innovate UK. We will update this page with trial results as soon as they become available.
Our citizen science
programme
Clinical trials are important, but so is testing things in the real world.
That’s why our ongoing citizen science programme explores our impact on real customers.
We’ve collated test results, health outcomes and comments from participants in our citizen science programme into case reports, so you can see for yourself the impact we’ve been able to have on their health and lives.

Broccoli bioactives have been linked to:
Blood Sugar
A healthy metabolism supports lower blood sugar levels by altering our sugar profile, reducing insulin resistance & aiding weight loss.
Weight Loss
A healthy metabolism supports weight loss by encouraging our body to burn more fat & to lay down less new fat, and by reducing our cravings for food.
Heart Health
A healthy metabolism supports our cholesterol balance & boosts heart health, which can reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Joint Health
A healthy metabolism helps to reduce inflammation in our joints, which can help reduce pain & improve joint function in arthritis.
Cancer Risk
A healthy metabolism makes our body hostile to cancer cells, reducing the risk of common cancers like breast & prostate.
Brain Health
A healthy metabolism helps reduce inflammation in our brain, reducing the risk of conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzhimer’s.
