As children, we were always told to eat our vegetables. But did our parents ever explain why?
As it turns out, groundbreaking study after groundbreaking study has confirmed what parents have always known: that vegetables are an essential part of not just nutrition but of securing whole-body health and protection from illness.
Recent scientific data suggests vegetables do far more than just provide nutrition for our bodies. In an increasingly toxic world where the water, air, and food our bodies are exposed to are increasingly contaminated, we are finding that vegetable supplements may be some of our best defenses against these contaminants.
What the National Cancer Institute Found Out About Broccoli Seed Extract
We’re going to copy a quote from the National Cancer Institute [1] below, about the benefits of taking a natural and organic broccoli seed extract.
Bear with us, because there is a significant amount of scientific jargon in the quote. We’ll break it all down and explain each sentence in the following paragraphs.
“A tablet-based nutritional supplement composed of a mixture of sprout and seed extracts of the cruciferous vegetable broccoli, with potential chemopreventive and antioxidant activities. Broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract contains a high amount of both the glycosinolate glucoraphanin and the enzyme myrosinase, which catalyzes the production of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane. Upon administration of the broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract, sulforaphane activates the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a member of the basic leucine zipper family, which binds to and activates antioxidant-response elements (AREs). Subsequently, activated AREs promote the transcription of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, particularly glutathione-S-transferase and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone] 1 (NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase; NQO1), resulting in the detoxification of highly reactive carcinogens. This accelerates the elimination of carcinogens, may protect against cellular damage, and prevents cancer formation. AREs are cis-acting regulatory enhancer elements found in the 5’ flanking region of many phase II detoxification enzymes.”
Sentence #1: “A tablet-based nutritional supplement composed of a mixture of sprout and seed extracts of the cruciferous vegetable broccoli, with potential chemopreventive and antioxidant activities.” This is just defining what broccoli seed extract is. In simple terms, it is the extract of the sprouted seeds of the cruciferous vegetable broccoli.
Sentence #2: “Broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract contains a high amount of both the glycosinolate glucoraphanin and the enzyme myrosinase, which catalyzes the production of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane.” What this is saying is that once broccoli seed extract is introduced to the human digestive system, a series of chemical reactions occur that produce essential enzymes the body needs to fight off potentially cancerous invaders, like free radicals.
Sentence #3: “Upon administration of the broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract, sulforaphane activates the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a member of the basic leucine zipper family, which binds to and activates antioxidant-response elements (AREs).” This sentence describes the science and chemistry behind how Broccoli Seed Extract is the silver bullet that essentially boosts the body’s natural antioxidant response to environmental contaminants and carcinogens that enter the body.
Sentence #4: “Subsequently, activated AREs promote the transcription of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, particularly glutathione-S-transferase and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone] 1 (NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase; NQO1), resulting in the detoxification of highly reactive carcinogens.” The science here is incredible. What this sentence is saying is that, once ingested, Broccoli Seed Extract is the best natural supplement for antioxidants because it detoxifies the body of highly toxic carcinogens better than any other natural remedy!
Sentence #5: “This accelerates the elimination of carcinogens, may protect against cellular damage, and prevents cancer formation.” This sentence summarizes how one can prevent cellular damage and the development of cancer by taking a daily Broccoli Seed Extract supplement.
Sentence #6: “AREs are cis-acting regulatory enhancer elements found in the 5’ flanking region of many phase II detoxification enzymes.” This sentence describes how the enzymes produced by Broccoli Seed Extract are more potent than any others that have been naturally synthesized to date.
Why Use Broccoli Extract Instead of Just Eating Broccoli?
This is the most common question we get when customers are considering buying our 100% Natural Broccoli Seed Extract.
There are two reasons why the extract is many times more potent and effective than simply eating broccoli vegetables (which you should also do).
- For one, broccoli seed extract is far more concentrated than whole broccoli. Remember, it is just the sprouted broccoli seeds that we are trying to ingest for the phytonutrient and anti-carcinogenic properties discussed above. To get the equivalent nutrition of ONE Immune Solution Broccoli Seed Extract capsule, one would need to eat 1 to 2 POUNDS of fresh broccoli.
- The other reason comes down to enzyme stability. Enzymes in vegetables are altered by high heat during cooking, rendering them incapable of catalyzing the chemical reactions needed to benefit the body, as outlined in the scientific report cited earlier. The broccoli seed extract in 100% natural supplements like ours, on the other hand, has not been exposed to high heat and therefore can produce much better health outcomes once ingested.
