A cellular health supplement that contains broccoli seed extract. this organic extract helps promote sulforaphane production within the body that will stimulates the release of nrf2, which then supports over 200 genes. these genes prompt cells to create their own antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress, making sulforaphane one of the most powerful antioxidant that can support cellular health

Sulforaphane is a compound that is typically associated with broccoli and broccoli sprouts, as well as other cruciferous vegetables like brussels sprouts, arugula and cauliflower. this is because these vegetables provide the necessary ingredients for sulforaphane production : glucoraphanin, also known as sulforaphane glucosinolate, and an active myrosinase enzyme.

sulforaphane is formed when myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin. in plant cells, glucoraphanin and myrosinase are kept separate and only interact when these cells are damaged (i.e. chewed), allowing the components to come together and for the transformation to proceed.

Natural killer cells under microscope since sulforaphane is associated with cruciferous vegetables, namely broccoli and broccoli sprouts, many people think they can get the benefits of sulforaphane just by eating their vegetables. unfortunately, it isn’t that simple, as sulforaphaneit self is not found in broccoli. rather it is the essential ingredients, glucoraphanin and myrosinase, that are present. unfortunately, there may not be enough of either compound in the plant to allow for adequate sulforaphane production. this can be due to seed quality, soil composition, the age of the plant, and many other factors.

additionally, any myrosinase enzyme that is present in the plant can be destroyed during the cooking process. so while glucoraphanin and the myrosinanse enzyme can be found in the vegetables you not necessarily reliable sources of either compound.

Sulforaphane prompts the release of the protien nrf2, which supports over 200 genes that cause cells to produce their own antioxidants and fight free radicals. these genes also promt the synthesis of detoxifying protein and enzymes.

Cellular detox : Support cellular detoxification sulforaphane has been shown to increase nrf2 which regulates the expression of a variety of phase ii antioxidant and detoxification enzymes.

Increases heat shock response : Sulforaphane increases the heat shock response which facilitates and maintains proper folding of protients during times of cellular stress.

Decrease nf-kb : Sulforaphane has been shown to decrease nf-kb, which regulates the expression of certain protiens involved in the inflammatory response.
