Myro delivers a high dose of ITC, the isothiocyanates found in broccoli sprouts, which published research links to lower blood lactate during hard efforts, reduced oxidative stress and faster training adaptation.

2.7kgof broccoli in every
60ml shot.

That's the isothiocyanate content of roughly 2.7kg of raw broccoli, more than you could eat in a day, cold-pressed from three-day sprouts into one shot you can drink in three seconds.

Fig. 03 · Mechanism

From sprout to signal.

Four steps, one pathway. This is what happens between the bottle and your next hard session.

Runner mid-session on the road Where it lands · the session
01

Glucoraphanin, stored.

Three-day broccoli sprouts carry up to 100× the glucoraphanin of a mature head. It's the inert precursor, locked inside the cell.

In the sprout
02

Myrosinase, released.

Cold-pressing ruptures the cell and lets the sprout's own enzyme convert glucoraphanin into sulforaphane. Heat would destroy it, so we never apply any.

In the press
03

Nrf2, activated.

Sulforaphane binds Keap1 and frees Nrf2 to enter the nucleus, switching on hundreds of the body's own antioxidant and detoxification genes.

In the cell
04

Redox balance, restored.

Hard training disrupts redox balance and Nrf2 signalling. Restoring it is linked in the literature to moderated lactate, protected muscle fibres and faster adaptation.

Shift the curve.
Hold the pace.

In acute testing, a single dose of ITC taken three hours before exercise was associated with a rightward shift in the blood-lactate curve: the same intensity, less lactate.

See inside
the sprout.

Hover the sprout to look past the surface. Three-day-old broccoli sprouts carry up to 100× the glucoraphanin of a full-grown head. That is the precursor your body converts into sulforaphane, the active ITC behind Myro.

  • 01
    Cellular defence

    Sulforaphane activates the Nrf2 pathway, your body's master antioxidant switch.

  • 02
    Recovery & inflammation

    Supports a measured inflammatory response after hard training.

  • 03
    Cold-pressed, never heated

    We protect the active compound from field to bottle.

Glucoraphanin concentration falls fast as the plant matures. We stop the clock at seventy-two hours.

The Myro standard

Clean. Functional.
No compromises.

Most "performance" drinks hide behind flavourings, fillers and sugar. Myro is the opposite: a transparent, single-purpose shot built on one of the most studied compounds in nutrition science, at the dose the studies actually used.

NO
Added sugar
NO
Preservatives
NO

NO
Heat, ever

Prepare to perform.

One 60ml shot, three hours before the session that counts.
