Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All participants will be administered:
Supplement name: BroccoMax Broccoli Seed Extract (Myrosinase activated) . Delayed release. Manufacturer: Jarrow Formulas
Sulforaphane glucosinolate content 30mg per tablet (capsule)
1) Single dose (2 capsules)
2) The mode of administration: oral
Intervention code [1] 298676 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
The trial is the partner of our other ANZCTR study: ACTRN 12617000567325. The trial recruited n=6 non pregnant, healthy participants (3 male and 3 female). These 6 non-pregnant participants were given 2 different broccoli spout supplements in order to ascertain which one elevated serum sulforaphane levels the most. The results generated from the study, recruitment & data collection period: June 2017 to July 2017, have been used in the design of the study which will now be undertaken in pregnant women and will form a historical control group.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 302835 0
The primary outcome of the trial is to ascertain the serum level of sulforaphane following the ingestion of a broccoli sprout supplement in healthy, pregnant women.
Timepoint [1] 302835 0
Blood samples will be collected from participants for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis: before ingestion of the supplement (5 minutes, or less) and then following ingestion of the supplement, at a 'desired' eight further targeted time points of: 15 (+/-5) minutes, 30 (+/-5) minutes, 60 (+/-5) minutes, 90 (+/-5) minutes, 120 (+/-15) minutes, 240 (+/-15) minutes, 480 (+/-15) minutes and 720 (+/-15) minutes.
Secondary outcome [1] 337196 0
To compare the data with that obtained previously from a healthy, non pregnant population who were administered the same supplement (ANZCTR, ACTRN:12617000567325).
Timepoint [1] 337196 0
At the time of data analysis, once all the Ok sampling and laboratory analysis of blood samples has been completed.

Statistical methods / analysis
The study is an exploratory study to obtain Pk data related to the ingestion of broccoli sprout supplements, the n=6 participants was chosen based on the data available from previous, similar studies.
Participant demographic data will be assessed for normality. Characteristics of the two groups will be tabulated and compared using the appropriate statistical test (e.g. Chi 2, independent t-test, Mann-Whitney test). Nonparametric data will be expressed as median and interquartile range (IQR). A p-value <0.05 (two-tailed) will be regarded as statistically signi cant. Data will be analysed using the SPSS statistical package (SPSS 24.0, IBM Corp, Armonk, New York, USA).
PK data will analysed by nonlinear mixed-effects modelling.
