Brassica Oleracea Italica Sprout Extract (DIM)

Brassica Oleracea Italica Sprout Extract is a concentrated bioactive derived from young broccoli sprouts, standardized to deliver diindolylmethane (DIM), a stable indole compound formed from the enzymatic breakdown of glucobrassicin during digestion. Unlike raw brassica extracts, this ingredient is often microencapsulated to overcome DIM's inherent poor water solubility and bioavailability challenges, making it suitable for oral supplement and topical formulations alike. Formulators select this ingredient for its dual-active profile — providing both DIM and sulforaphane precursors (glucoraphanin) — offering a more holistic phytonutrient complex than isolated synthetic DIM.
