BROCCOLI SUPPLEMENT
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica) is an edible green plant in the cabbage family. It is an especially rich source of vitamins C and K and is one of the vegetables with the highest protein content. Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, and kale, are rich sources of sulfur containing compounds called glucosinolates which have been shown to offer unique and robust health benefits. Of these, sulforaphane, one of the most abundant and most extensively studied has been shown to help support optimal cell growth. Broccoli supplements also contains many other powerful compounds such as Indole-3-carbinol, a nutrient that supports the liver’s detoxification of estrogens and promotes healthy estrogen metabolism, and has been shown to increase healthy cell growth.
Broccoli also contains a wide range of carotenoids including lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta carotene, which help protect the body's cells and tissues against free radical damage and protect vision and eye health. Kaempferol, another component of broccoli is a potent bioflavonoid with anti-obesity properties that’s been shown to protect against heart disease, temper inflammation, and allergies. Last but certainly not least, broccoli contains quercetin, a well-known antihistamine and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory that helps calm allergies, protects heart health, and supports blood-sugar metabolism.

How Broccoli Supplements Help
A good quality broccoli supplement may be recommended to both men and women, to support healthy estrogen metabolism, reduce the risk of abnormal cell growth, as well as to promote healthy cell reproduction throughout the body. It’s also frequently recommended to help break-down unhealthy estrogens into non-toxic forms, and thus help reduce the risk of abnormal cell growth. Broccoli supplements are also great to protect the health of the cervix in women, as well as to help support the body’s detoxification processes, promote healthy blood pressure, optimal cardiovascular health, kidney function, and eye health.
Broccoli Supplements
Broccoli extract can be purchased as a standalone ingredient, in powder form, or as broccoli sprout extract or broccoli seed extract. Broccoli is also frequently added to SuperGreen blends and can be found as DIM, D Glutarate, and Indol-3 Carbinol (I-3-C), which are all isolated nutrients from broccoli. Broccoli supplements and extracts are offered in a wide range of different potencies, and there is no set recommended daily doses, so it's important to follow label instructions carefully.
Final Thoughts
Indole-3-carbinol may slow blood clotting, and increase the risk of bleeding in those with bleeding disorders. If you have a scheduled surgery, stop taking Indol-3 carbinol at least two weeks before said surgery. Discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner if you develop symptoms of liver trouble (such as abdominal pain, or jaundice) or symptoms of low estrogen. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
