Sharon
Founder and CEO
Sharon spent many years in finance before following her passion for holistic nutrition. She has spent the last decade researching natural approaches to health, and sulforaphane above all.
Grounded in science, we know this has the power to change health.
We have been friends for over 30 years and have combined our experience across clinical, pharmaceutical and holistic nutrition to create an innovative, unique product based on the power of Sulforaphane.
We have personally experienced the powerful benefits of Sulforaphane in our own health journeys and we believe this potent, natural compound has the power to protect and restore health at a cellular level.
In 2016, Sharon was diagnosed with a serious illness and turned to plant-based medicine to support and transform her health during this time. Dee was by her side and with a PhD in plant medicine and a shared belief that food is medicine, they discovered sulforaphane and the research & science behind it.
We began sharing our knowledge with a series of Wellness Workshops in 2018 ‘The Power of Plant Based Nutrition’ travelling all around Ireland. We were teaching all about the power of a plant based lifestyle, about giving your body tools to thrive.
Deirdre shared her knowledge and scientific research on the powerful phytochemicals in food and Sharon shared her knowledge and lived experience of juicing and sprouting for health. We realised sulforaphane and its health benefits were relatively unknown.
A phonecall to Dee one day sparked it all. Sharon was sitting on the couch googling a quick way to get an immunity boost, she asked Dee why there was no potent, high quality sulforaphane product she could order. The idea for WellCells was born.
They knew the research was clear, sulforaphane works at a cellular level. But getting it meant sprouting broccoli seeds on your kitchen windowsill and waiting 5 days for them to grown, or trusting a supplement with no clear dose and no proof it was tested.
We were tired and frustrated, and we kept asking why nobody had done this properly. Eventually we stopped asking and decided to do it ourselves.
We spent six months in the lab, testing and retesting until we had the right source, the right dose, and a formula we could stand behind. Backed by Dee's 15 years in pharma, we built a sulforaphane product to pharmaceutical-grade standards. No shortcuts and no guesswork, just a product we could trust.
Our first product: Brocco. We were proud of it and so were our first customers. But "good" wasn't the standard we'd set for ourselves, so we kept listening, kept testing, and kept pushing.
We refined the formula and made it stronger with sulforaphane at the core of everything. It needed a name that said exactly that. BrocCore: one capsule a day, the right dose, lab tested. It's Ireland's first sulforaphane supplement and the product we were searching for.
We launched BrocCore at Wellfest 2026, and it didn't feel like a finish line. It felt like the start of what we set out to do: getting sulforaphane, done properly, into people's hands. This is only the beginning.
