According to the USDA FoodData Central, it might also consist of vitamin A, beta-carotene, lutein zeaxanthin, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid. It may even have essential vitamins such as vitamin B6, folate ( vitamin B9), vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B1, and vitamin K. Additionally, it may contain important minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, p otassium, and phosphorus.Saeidi A, Soltani M, Daraei A, et al.

According to some older research, substances in broccoli bind with bile acids in your gut, increasing their excretion and preventing them from being reused ( 36). Two of the main carotenoids in broccoli, lutein and zeaxanthin, are associated with a decreased risk of age-related macular degeneration, an eye disease that can impair vision ( 38).

The study found that sulforaphane effectively reduced fasting blood sugar levels by 6.5% and improved hemoglobin A1c, a marker of long-term blood sugar control. These effects were particularly strong in participants who were obese with poor diabetes control ( 17). Glucoraphanin is a powerful and long-lasting antioxidant, found primarily in broccoli. When consumed, glucoraphanin converts to sulphoraphane. Sulphoraphane is a sulphur-based phytochemical and antioxidant which helps prevent against cell damage from free radicals and helps to maintain a healthy inflammatory response. Sulphoraphane also helps support the liver in processing toxins. Conaway CC, Getahun SM, Liebes LL, et al.
