Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), the Jeju source material for BrocoPower.
BrocoPower is BK bio's branded muscle-health ingredient from the Superccoli series: a Jeju broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) extract, made with pulsed electric field processing and ethanol extraction and standardized to glucoraphanin and sulforaphane. In a 100-person trial it supported grip-strength gains roughly 2.9 times those of the control group.

What BrocoPower does
- Enhances muscle function
- Antioxidant
- Anti-inflammatory
BrocoPower is standardized to glucoraphanin and its bioactive derivative sulforaphane, the glucosinolate pathway broccoli is known for. The extract supports muscle function with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Clinical results
In a study run with Yangsan Pusan National University Hospital, 100 adult men and women consumed BrocoPower for 12 weeks. The test group showed a significant gain in grip strength, approximately 2.9 times greater than the control group, and the ingredient was proven safe with no adverse reactions across the 12-week period.
| Measure | Control (Δ) | Test (Δ) | p | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Handgrip strength, left (kg) | +0.49 ± 0.82 | +1.43 ± 1.74 | < 0.001 | ~2.92× |
| Handgrip strength, right (kg) | +0.69 ± 0.79 | +1.83 ± 1.51 | < 0.001 | ~2.65× |
| Isokinetic strength (Biodex) | Right-quadriceps strength change was numerically higher in the test group (11.09 N·m) than the control (8.11 N·m), supporting exercise-driven muscle improvement. | |||
| Physical performance | Overall SPPB scores, including gait speed and chair-stand time, improved significantly in both groups, with the ingredient acting as a metabolic booster during exercise. | |||
