Sulforaphane-rich super-broccoli extract for enhanced wound healing

Overview

The Smarter Food Company presents a groundbreaking solution for skin repair and wound healing utilizing a sulforaphane-rich super-broccoli extract. This innovative approach leverages the bioactivity of sulforaphane, a compound known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. When applied topically, the extract activates crucial genetic pathways such as NRF2 and NFkB, promoting cell health and reducing inflammation, thus supporting wound healing and minimizing scarring.

Technical specifications

Key features:

• Contains 5x the normal levels of sulforaphane, enhancing its therapeutic efficacy.
• Activates NRF2 and NFkB pathways to boost antioxidant production and reduce inflammation.
• Naturally enriched with vitamins and minerals, including retinoids, nicotinamides, and vitamin C, to support skin health.
• Antibacterial and antifungal properties help prevent infection in wounds.
• Stable in dry form, producing sulforaphane in-situ upon hydration, overcoming stability challenges of the compound.

Technology readiness level

Currently at Technology Readiness Level 4, this technology has been validated in controlled environments. Further research, particularly in vivo testing with hydrocolloid patches impregnated with the super-broccoli material, is planned to confirm its efficacy in promoting wound healing and reducing scars. The Smarter Food Company seeks research partnerships to advance the development and application of this promising solution.
