A nutritional supplement is provided containing two broccoli based components that are combined and, when ingested, react in the intestines to provide sulforaphane. Processes for producing the broccoli components of the nutritional supplement are also provided. The broccoli components are treated separately using supercritical fluid extraction to remove oils. The temperature and pressure of the supercritical extraction processes are controlled to provide broccoli components having the desired properties for the nutritional supplement. |
