Broccoli concentrate+ contains 100% natural broccoli sprouts in highly concentrated powder form.
Contains a particularly large amount of the two nutrients glucoraphanin and the enzyme myrosinase.
When glucoraphanin and myrosinase are mixed with water, they in turn activate the substance sulforaphane, which switches on about 2000 genes.
Sulforaphane in Broccoli Concentrate+ can, according to research, also help to give the cells more energy.
See research links below, e.g. “The impaired glutathione system and its up-regulation by sulforaphane..”.
Broccoli root concentrate is also considered to have estrogen-balancing/estrogen-lowering effects in individuals with estrogen dominance. May therefore be of interest to men with too low testosterone and/or too high estrogen.
Broccoli Concentrate+ is produced by a company in Australia that is a world leader in producing broccoli extract through controlled cultivation and production, ensuring a high concentration of glucoraphanin and myrosinase. It is an advanced powder of broccoli sprouts, where only 2 grams a day form as much sulforaphane as is otherwise formed from 2 kg of broccoli.
Content: 60 grams of broccoli sprouts in powder form.
The product does not contain goitrogens or significant levels of vitamin K.
Recommended daily dose:
Start with 2 krm. Increase within 3 days up to 4 krm.
Divided into 2 krm + 2 krm per day.
(2 krm = 1 gram)
Mix in water and drink immediately.
