BROQ opens in your intestines, not your stomach.
Unlike most sulforaphane brands, BROQ's capsule opens in your intestines, not your stomach, so the ingredients aren't destroyed by stomach acid before your body absorbs them. Opening in the intestines is a large part of the gap in the results above.

How we test
We buy each product online and have it shipped directly to an independent 3rd-party lab. Lab reports state that product was received in unopened retail packaging.
The lab measures the active ingredient in every product, ours included, in the finished capsule.
We publish every report, ours and every competitor's, and you can download any of them.
Current batches
Each batch of BROQ, NMN-99 and SPMD-99 on sale now has its own lab report. All three tested above the number printed on the label.
Product Comparison FAQs
Who tested these products?
Independent 3rd-party labs, not us. We don't own them. Each lab tested ours alongside the competitors, and every report on this page names the lab that ran it.
Which competitors did you test?
The 5 top-selling NMN supplements, the 5 top-selling spermidine supplements, and 20 of the top-selling sulforaphane supplements. We bought them all online, and you can download every report.
Why was sulforaphane tested in acid and in water?
A capsule opens in your stomach or in your intestines. Stomach acid is pH 1.5. Your intestines are pH 7.3, the same as water. So the lab tested immediate-release products in both and averaged the two. Delayed-release products, like BROQ, open past the stomach, so they're shown in water.
Why are NMN and spermidine measured differently?
Sulforaphane forms after the capsule opens, so the lab recreates that step in acid and water. NMN and spermidine are already in their final form in the capsule, so the lab measures how much of each is in one serving. We put that next to what the label says.
Do you test every batch of your own products?
Yes, every batch of every product. Each new batch gets its own test, and its report goes up on our Lab reports page.
