Written by the company

BrocStar (formerly SmarterNaturally) creates consumer-friendly food products using its unique BrocStar GRextra broccoli, which naturally provides a much higher amount of active nutrient Sulforaphane than standard varieties of broccoli. Sulforaphane is one of the key health-boosting compounds that gives broccoli its 'superfood' status. Once in our gut, the high levels of glucoraphanin in the BrocStar broccoli is converted into Sulforaphane, which turns on anti-oxidant genes in our cells. This can help maintain a healthier metabolism – particularly as we age. A healthier, younger metabolism is linked to all kinds of health benefits, including, reduced and more stable blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure, protection against heart disease, reduced risk of some forms of cancer and neurodegenerative disease, and even supporting weight loss, muscle gain and boosted sporting performance. It for all those reasons that we're we're so excited to be creating functional foods backed by more than 20 years of high-quality science that are convenient, affordable, tasty and could make a really significant contribution to improving the health and quality of life of people across the UK. Our first product, is BrocStar SmarterNaturally SuperSoup: research suggests eating just one bowl a week can meaningfully contribute to a range of health benefits and contribute to a reduced risk of a range of chronic health conditions. We're also working hard to create new products so people can work our health-boosting compounds into their diet in the ways that work best for them. We also sell a re-sealable pouch of our broccoli powder that you can add to your food and drinks as you wish, at the point of consumption.

Great product

The soup is easy to make. I like to add ground black pepper and a drizzle of hemp seed oil. I'm looking forward to the nut coated product being released soon.

The soup is tasty

The soup is tasty, even for broccoli.
Sins taking it I have dropped out of pre/high risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
Delivery is always before my last soup sachet, so I never miss a 'meal'.

Few companies communicate so clearly abut delivery and are so helpful when a query arises.

Not totally convinced – more scientific evidence needed

I have been taking smarter naturally soups for about a year now. Personally, it doesn’t seem to have made a great deal of difference, especially to my blood pressure which I was hoping to lower. I would like more scientific evidence including double-blind trials to convince me it’s worth continuing. The packets are not cheap supplements!

I was diagnosed in early 2024 with type 2 diabetes

I was diagnosed in early 2024 at the age of 73 with type 2 diabetes which I elected to treat my lifestyle change and diet. In 2024 I read the Guardian article on SmarterNaturallysoup which I have now have one bowl once a week.
Have dropped 2 stone in weight and have a bit more energy.
The customer service team are excellent,,anything your not sure about, get in touch with them and they will get it sorted out for you.
Will certainly keep reordering.

Excellent, Prompt and Friendly Service

I contacted SmarterNaturally today to ask to suspend my subscription for 3 months as I am out of the country. Within half an hour SmarterNaturally sent a lovely email confirming this had been done and wishing me a great holiday.

This product is a must for any man…

This product is a must for any man dealing with prostate issues. You need to incorporate this into your diet. The research is there to prove that the contents of this product will help. I am certain it has many other benefits for general health. Trying to maintain a diet high in cruciferous vegetables can sometimes be difficult if you have a busy life, so this soup is an easy option. I personally like the taste, but you can enhance by adding seasoning.

The company has always been a pleasure…

The company has always been a pleasure to deal with, and I like to believe that the soup is doing me good! The growing number of case studies in which diabtetic nurses who monitor the blood sugar levels of their patients regularly and who are surprised by the sudden fall in these blood sugar levels after people start taking the soup, thus avoiding becoming diabetic is highly encouraging. bnI am not a prediabetic myself, but I like to think that all my cells are now getting more energy and therefore able to function better by virtue of the fact that I eat a weekly bowl of soup.

I have been consuming SmarterNaturally…

I have been consuming SmarterNaturally soup for over a year now. I was initially drawn to the soup because of the health benefits and as I have some chronic health conditions, plus I'm getting on a bit, so need all the help that I can get to stay healthy. I find the soup to have a neutral taste, I would be lying if I said that i found it delicious. However, the taste is easily improved by adding herbs, garlic etc, anything actually. Since being on the soup my cholesterol has improved quite a bit, the total (4.7 from 5.2) and the LDL decreased too. But, i am doing other things such as increased exercise and reducing saturated fat so I cannot say exactly why the improvement or if it's the soup. I find the company excellent to deal with and plan to continue taking it long term.

Watch out for significant bloating

I am totally onboard with the science but beware that you are consuming a huge amount of vegetable matter and fibre in one dose, notably including chicory root fibre. This means there is a good chance you will experience significant bloating. To discover whether or not this is the case, it would be helpful to be sent a sample sachet. I suggested this using the company's messaging system on the website but never heard back. I am now left with a lot of expensive sachets which I won't use. Be careful before you commit to this product.

Hi Adam - first of all, really sorry that one got back to you on your previous message to us. This should have been addressed with support for you when you first got in touch, but it looks like your email slipped through the net without a reply for some reason.

It's also sad to hear you've experienced bloating with our soup. It does indeed contain a lot of natural plant fibre, which is great for our gut but can take some getting used to. We have some suggestions for those who find the fibre too much in one go, which I will send to your email now. We're always delighted when people are supportive of our science and what we're trying to do, even if the product doesn't quite work for them, so I hope we can bring you back on board after this poor experience.

All the best

Great Service and Price!

The soup has made a huge difference to our health. My blood sugars are normal and my husband's have stabilised. Our BP is down, too. Great service from Smarter Naturally!
