Sulforaphane and microgreens

One of the biggest benefits of our freeze-dried microgreens is getting access to a high concentration of sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is a powerful sulfur-containing compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and bok choy. Broccoli sprouts have the highest concentration of sulforaphane. Absorption is enhanced when consumed with mustard. Hence, our original blend of broccoli, red cabbage, bok choy and mustard microgreens is your optimal way to get sulforaphane into your daily diet. 

Sulforaphane has several potential health benefits, including:

1. Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Properties Aiding in Boosting Immunity

• Activates Nrf2, a key pathway that boosts the body’s natural antioxidant defenses.
• Helps reduce inflammation, which is linked to chronic diseases like arthritis and heart disease.
• Strengthens immune function by modulating inflammatory responses and supporting detoxification pathways.

2. Supports Detoxification

• Enhances phase II detoxification enzymes, helping the liver eliminate toxins and harmful compounds.
• May reduce the impact of environmental toxins and pollutants.

3. Cancer-Fighting Potential

• Has been shown in studies to inhibit cancer cell growth and promote apoptosis (cell death) in cancers like breast, prostate, and colon cancer.
• May reduce the risk of cancer by neutralizing carcinogens.
• May help protect against UV radiation damage and reduce the risk of skin cancer.

4. Brain Health & Neuroprotection

• May help protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Supports cognitive function and may aid in mood regulation.

5. Heart Health

• Helps lower blood pressure and reduce arterial plaque buildup.
• Supports improved blood vessel function and reduces oxidative stress on the cardiovascular system.

6. Supports Gut Health

• Promotes a healthy gut microbiome and may help with conditions like H. pylori infections and ulcer prevention.
• Supports intestinal barrier integrity.
