Broccoli supplement and exercise combo tested for immune boost in small study
NCT ID NCT07668596
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking a broccoli sprout extract (sulforaphane) for four days, doing high-intensity interval running, or combining both can improve how immune cells use energy and reduce inflammation. Twenty healthy adults aged 18-35 will try each approach in random order, with a week break in between. Blood samples are taken before and after each period to measure changes in cell metabolism and inflammatory markers.

sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extract
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple lifestyle or supplement strategies to boost immune and metabolic health.
What could go wrong
