TruBroc® SGS Overview
TruBroc® SGS is a patented form of broccoli seed extract standardized to provide a high level of sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS), a naturally occurring compound with potent antioxidant and detoxification properties. Sulforaphane, the active form of SGS, is released when the compound is converted by the enzyme myrosinase, either in the plant or within the human body. TruBroc® SGS is specifically designed to maximize the benefits of sulforaphane by ensuring consistent and high levels of this powerful phytochemical.
Benefits of TruBroc® SGS Broccoli Seed Extract
Powerful Antioxidant Protection
Sulforaphane is one of the most potent naturally occurring antioxidants. It helps neutralize free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress and reducing the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Supports Detoxification Processes
Sulforaphane plays a key role in activating the body's detoxification enzymes, particularly in the liver. It enhances the body's ability to eliminate toxins, carcinogens, and harmful chemicals, supporting overall detoxification and reducing the toxic burden on the body.
Promotes Cancer Prevention
Sulforaphane has been extensively studied for its anti-cancer properties. It helps inhibit the growth of cancer cells, promotes apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancerous cells, and prevents the formation of tumors. Sulforaphane is particularly effective in reducing the risk of cancers such as breast, prostate, and colon cancer.
Supports Cardiovascular Health
Sulforaphane helps protect the cardiovascular system by reducing inflammation, improving blood vessel function, and lowering oxidative stress. It also plays a role in reducing cholesterol levels and maintaining healthy blood pressure.
Enhances Brain Health and Cognitive Function
Sulforaphane crosses the blood-brain barrier and has neuroprotective effects. It supports brain health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain, which may help protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Sulforaphane helps reduce inflammation throughout the body by inhibiting the activity of NF-κB, a protein complex that plays a key role in inflammatory responses. This makes it beneficial for conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
Natural Sources
Broccoli and Broccoli Sprouts
The highest concentrations of sulforaphane are found in broccoli sprouts, with mature broccoli also providing a good amount. Other cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale contain smaller amounts.
Supplements
TruBroc® SGS is available as a dietary supplement, providing a standardized and consistent dose of sulforaphane glucosinolate, ensuring maximum efficacy.
Bioavailability
Enhanced and Consistent
TruBroc® SGS is designed to provide a consistent and bioavailable source of sulforaphane. It is more reliable than consuming raw broccoli alone, as sulforaphane levels can vary significantly in fresh vegetables due to factors like growing conditions and cooking methods.
Indications for Use
Detoxification and Liver Support
Individuals looking to enhance their body's detoxification processes, especially those exposed to environmental toxins, may benefit from TruBroc® SGS.
Cancer Prevention
Those at risk for certain types of cancer, or with a family history of cancer, may consider TruBroc® SGS for its potential anti-cancer properties.
Cardiovascular Health
Individuals with cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension, or atherosclerosis may find TruBroc® SGS beneficial for heart health.
Brain and Cognitive Health
Those seeking to protect against neurodegenerative diseases or support cognitive function may benefit from the neuroprotective effects of sulforaphane.
Inflammatory Conditions
Individuals with chronic inflammation or inflammatory diseases like arthritis may consider TruBroc® SGS for its anti-inflammatory properties.
