BROCCOLI

Discover the Miracle Food Broccoli!

What Is It?
Broccoli is one of our most powerful vegetables containing hundreds of super-nutrients that support over all body health. Its Botanical name is Brassica. It is classified as a food and is part of the family of vegetables known as the cruciferous family. Cruciferous veggies include broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussel sprouts, bok choy, collards, kohlrabi, mustard greens, watercress, turnip, radish and cabbage. The cruciferous family of veggies contain a high level of chemicals called glucosinolates. Now conveniently available in supplement form we can choose from a wide variety of powerful forms. It is commonly found as a powder in Greens products, as an extract or as a broccoli sprout extract or powder, as broccoli seed extract, as DIM, as D Glutarate and as Indol-3 Carbinol (I-3-C).

One of its key active ingredients is an enzyme called mirosinase found in broccoli seed and sprout powder or extract. Mirosinase is an enzyme which helps convert glucosinolate into two important compounds sulforaphane (the bio active plant chemical in Broccoli) and erucin. Mirosinase can be destroyed by over processing and with high heat. Sulforaphane is an isothiocynate thought to stimulate powerful enzymes in the body. Studies show that sulforaphane has both anti-bacterial and anti-cancerous properties. Broccoli sprouts contain 20-50 times the concentration of sulforaphane than the broccoli vegetable. 2000 mcg of sulforaphane is the equivalent of eating one pound of fresh broccoli.

Broccoli is high in Potassium, Vitamin C, protein, Calcium, selenium, vitamin A, chlorophyll and fibre for over all health.

What Is It Used for and How Does It Work?
Historically known for its antioxidant and anti cancer properties we can now find its powerful heath properties in many products.

Arthritis -The sulfur compounds found in Sulforaphane block a destructive enzyme that damages cartilage thereby protecting cartilage from chronic inflammation and injury.

Cancer Prevention -
Sulforaphane protects cell against cancer causing chemicals; it normalizes DNA methylation which protects expression of healthy genes. We all have protective genes which suppress the development of cancer. One of these genes is called Gene p53. Occasionally these genes can become mutant and cause versus inhibit the development of cancer. The isothiocyanates in broccoli destroy these mutant genes thereby protecting us from the development of cancer. Breast cancer is one particular cancer protected by the use of Broccoli.

Kidney Function and Blood Pressure -
My normalizing DNA methylation pathways studies have shown that Sulforaphane can improve kidney function and thereby reduce high blood pressure.

Cardiovascular Health
- Broccoli protects your arterial blood vessels from damage. It does this by reducing the amount of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) in our blood vessels which cause micro nicks and tears. When ROS causes damage to our blood vessels our body needs to repair this with cholesterol. This over time a build up of cholesterol in our arteries can lead to the development of plaque build up which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. This is especially important for those suffering from Diabetes which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Broccoli also contains Lutein which is important for eye health and helps prevent thickening in your arteries.

Anti Aging -As a strong antioxidant Sulforaphane reduces oxidative stress which is one key element in the again process. It also help support our immune function thereby protecting us from the development of disease. Sulforaphane also repairs damaged skin. Broccoli will thus keep us young!

Detoxification -Broccoli phytonutrients called glucoraphanin and glucobrassicin both aid in the body's detoxification pathways. Broccoli also supports methylation detoxification pathways which help break down and excrete toxins and chemicals.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health have observed that broccoli sprouts can help the body detoxify carcinogens, which may reduce the risk of developing liver and other cancers.

Forms and How to Use It:

DIM (Diindolylmethane)- a component in Broccoli. It is derived from the digestion of a compound found in Broccoli called Indole-3-Carbinol found in Cruciferous vegetables. It has been shown to be very anti-cancerous - studies have shown that Dim can prevent and treat cancers in mice, specifically breast, uterine, cervical, prostate and colorectal cancers. It has also been shown to help Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Evidence show it acts as a phytoestrogen, meaning it blocks strong negative estrogens and instead supports the weaker acting estrogens in our body. It is found mainly in capsule form.

Broccoli Sprouts -liquid or powder form - can be found in other green products and antioxidant formulations in powder, liquid, capsule and tablet forms.

Broccoli extract or powder- can be found as its own product or in other formulation in liquid, powder, capsule of tablet form.

Calcium D-Glutarate
- derived from Broccoli and other Cruciferous vegetables is Calcium plus Glucaric Acid. It is a good form of Calcium for bone health, is anti-cancerous, and supports Phase 11 Liver Detoxification. - Found in capsule or tablet form.
