Description:
Brocco Immune 60c by Protocol contains sgs™-100 Broccoli Concentrate from seed. Broccoli and Broccoli Seeds are important sources of chemoprotective sulfur compounds, such as Glucoraphanin, that support the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms. sgs™ (Sulforaphane Glucosinolate) is a potent activator of the body’s immune defense system through its effect on Phase 2 enzymes. Brocco Immune™ contains broccoli concentrate from broccoli seeds. It is widely recognized that broccoli and broccoli seeds can offer multiple health properties including vitamin C, betacarotene, and fiber. Broccoli is also rich in phytochemicals, particularly glucoraphanin. Glucoraphanin is also found in other cruciferous vegetables, such as kale, turnip greens, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. Cruciferous vegetables have long been associated with antioxidant and cellular protection. When broccoli and broccoli sprouts are consumed, glucoraphanin is converted to sulforaphane. It is quickly absorbed and metabolized, and finally excreted in the urine. In this process, it produces the formation of a variety of detoxifying and antioxidant peptides and proteins. Extensive scientific studies have demonstrated that sulforaphane is a potent inducer of phase 2 detoxifying enzymes. In addition, Sulforaphane is also able to boost the level of thioredoxin, an enzyme that protects retinal cells of the eye against various types of oxidative attack. This product is intended for the following protocols: Cellular Immunity, Detox Support, and Immunity Balance.
