Sulforaphane belongs to a group of phytochemicals, or disease-fighting compounds in plants known as the isothiocyanates. Sulforaphane is a very potent free-radical quencher and it powers up the body’s anti-oxidant system. Sulforaphane is an antioxidant and stimulator of natural detoxifying enzymes.
Sulforaphane normalizes DNA methylation, which plays a role in a number of diseases including cancer, and it can suppress the expression of damaged and dangerous DNA. It acts as a powerful detox.
Sulforaphane helps balance estrogen and other hormones and can help reduce the frequency of hot flushes in menopausal woman.
OK, here’s the science and why Kiwi Superfoods Broccoli Sprout Powder is the best available. It’s a compound called glucoraphanin in the presence of an enzyme called myrosinase that forms sulforaphane. The three day old sprouts from broccoli seeds are the richest food source of these sulforaphane precursors, according to research published in September 1997 in the ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’. They offer 30 to 50 times more by weight, than mature broccoli plants. Kiwi Superfoods Broccoli Sprout Powder has tested positive for these compounds enabling us to confirm that the myrosinase enzyme is active and offer measured and guaranteed levels of glucoraphanin.
To produce our product we air dry three day old fresh broccoli sprouts. Approximately 12gms of fresh broccoli sprouts, about a cup full, goes into each daily dose (2 x 600mg capsules) of our Broccoli Sprout Powder. One daily dose of Kiwi Superfoods Broccoli Sprout Powder will deliver at the very least 6mg of sulforaphane8 (there is some variation due to an individuals gut flora).
Each pot contains one months supply of 60 x 600mg capsules, which are gluten free and suitable for vegans.
Kiwi Superfoods capsules contain only 100% lightly milled broccoli sprouts and are guaranteed to deliver high levels of glucoraphanin and active myrosinase enzymes.
