(formerly Crucera‑SGS®)

Long‑lasting antioxidant and detox support from clinically studied broccoli seed compounds

Crucera‑SGS® supplies sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) — a stable, precursor compound found in broccoli seeds —
along with mustard seed–derived myrosinase to help convert SGS into active sulforaphane in the gut.
Thorne’s formula is designed to upregulate phase II detox enzymes and support the body’s own antioxidant defenses for protection that
lasts beyond a single dose. Each capsule provides 50 mg of SGS — the amount Thorne equates to about two pounds of cooked broccoli.

Why We Like It

  • Targets the body’s internal detox and antioxidant pathways (think NRF2 and phase II enzymes) rather than acting only as a direct free‑radical sponge.
  • Includes mustard seed (a natural myrosinase source) to support sulforaphane formation and bioavailability.
  • Backed by decades of research on broccoli‑derived isothiocyanates for cellular protection and liver support.

Key Benefits

  • Supports healthy antioxidant activity and glutathione status.*
  • Promotes normal phase II detoxification enzyme activity and liver function.*
  • Provides cellular defense from everyday oxidative stressors.*

What’s Inside

  • Sulforaphane Glucosinolate (SGS) — a broccoli seed compound that the body converts to sulforaphane to activate NRF2 and phase II detox enzymes.
  • Mustard seed (myrosinase source) — supplies the enzyme needed to convert SGS to sulforaphane for optimal activity.
  • Vitamin C — supports the body’s antioxidant network and helps maintain redox balance.
  • Plant‑based capsule with minimal excipients — Thorne’s streamlined formula avoids unnecessary additives.

  • Sulforaphane & Detoxification — Researchers found that sulforaphane activates the body’s own antioxidant and detox enzymes, helping cells neutralize everyday toxins more effectively. Learn More
  • Broccoli Sprout Extract & Airborne Pollutants — A clinical trial showed that people consuming broccoli sprout beverages excreted more air pollutants, suggesting enhanced detox support. Learn More
  • Improving Sulforaphane Absorption — Studies demonstrate that pairing broccoli seed compounds with the enzyme myrosinase significantly increases sulforaphane absorption and bioavailability. Learn More
  • Sulforaphane & Brain Health — Laboratory research indicates that sulforaphane can reduce inflammation and oxidative damage in brain tissue, offering potential neuroprotective benefits. Learn More
  • Glucoraphanin’s Role in Cellular Protection — Reviews of human and animal studies confirm that glucoraphanin, the precursor in broccoli seeds, helps the body produce sulforaphane to defend cells from oxidative stress. Learn More

Lifestyle Tips

For everyday detox support, double down on cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale, cauliflower, arugula), stay well‑hydrated,
and aim for a daily sweat—brisk walks count. Pair Crucera‑SGS with a quality B‑complex and magnesium to round out your
cellular‑support routine.
