Mara Labs

Mara Labs is a supplement company based in Charlottesville, Virginia that manufactures, produces, and ships all products in-house. The company was founded by four collaborators—a researcher, scientist, practitioner, and facilitator—with a shared commitment to evidence-based cellular health. Their flagship product is BrocElite, a naturally derived stabilized sulforaphane supplement designed to support cellular resilience across multiple biological pathways.

BrocElite delivers 5mg of stabilized sulforaphane per capsule at a clinically relevant dose. Sulforaphane is a water-soluble bioactive compound with extensive peer-reviewed research supporting its role in managing oxidative stress, inflammation, brain health, and detoxification. The company positions this as the only naturally derived stabilized sulforaphane supplement on the market, distinguishing it from broccoli sprout powders or extracts that lack bioavailability optimization.

Mara Labs differentiates itself through vertical integration and rigorous quality control. They source ingredients globally from regions with optimal growing conditions and centuries of cultivation expertise, then maintain direct oversight of all suppliers. Every batch undergoes internal testing and third-party verification by the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research in Danville, Virginia. The company tests not only for heavy metals and contaminants but also for cellular toxicity using renal proximal tubular cells—a more sensitive measure than standard heavy metal screening. All ingredients are naturally derived, sustainably sourced, and free from fillers, additives, and harmful chemicals.
