Optimized Broccoli and Cruciferous Blend, 30 enteric-coated vegetarian tablet
$28.50
Promotes cell & hormone health, no raw broccoli required
Cruciferous veggies (like broccoli) promote cellular health, breast health, and healthy hormone balance. For the most benefits, eat your cruciferous veggies raw…or just take our Optimized Broccoli formula!
We know that cruciferous vegetables are good for us. But most of us cook those vegetables first, which breaks down important nutrients such as myrosinase and glucosinolate. Rather than try to get everyone to eat their cruciferous vegetables raw, we’ve created our new Optimized Broccoli formula to give you the cell-protective and health-promoting benefits, without the leafy greens.
The (healthy) biology of broccoli
No one thinks broccoli is cool. But broccoli’s biochemistry is actually pretty interesting. Broccoli contains several health-promoting compounds. Glucoraphanin, myrosinase and sulforaphane are key compounds involved in broccoli’s cellular health benefits.
Myrosinase actually helps turn glucoraphanin into cell-health-promoting sulforaphane. What’s interesting is that broccoli’s physical makeup separates glucoraphanin and myrosinase compounds from each other by keeping myrosinase in a separate compartment. That’s why chopped raw broccoli has greater benefits than whole sprouts (and why chewing is important as well!).
Innovative partitioned and enteric-coated tablet
So why not just pack a softgel full of sulforaphane? Because the compound is unstable. To enjoy the cellular health benefits of broccoli, you have to get the active compounds in broccoli to metabolize into as much sulforaphane as possible and do so inside your digestive system.
Life Extension has separated myrosinase from glucoraphanin in a dual-layered tablet to optimize glucoraphanin-to-sulforaphane conversion. By keeping the two apart until they’re in your stomach, we’ve optimized the amount of sulforaphane you can get from a broccoli extract supplement. We also added additional myrosinase to help boost sulforaphane production even further.
Watercress, rosemary and more
In addition to broccoli, plants like watercress and rosemary provide phytonutrients such as glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, carnosic acid and carnosol—active compounds that promote healthy estrogen metabolism and cell division.1,2 Cabbage extract provides benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) that also helps maintain cell health.3
DIM (diindolylmethane)
Lastly, this formula contains DIM (diindolylmethane), a compound shown to favorably modulate estrogen metabolism and support liver health.4,5 When we eat cruciferous vegetables, our body naturally produces very small amounts of DIM in the gut. DIM also supports healthy cell division and helps protect cells when they are exposed to xenoestrogens (estrogen-like environmental compounds).6,7
What Is Broccoli and Cruciferous Blend?
You know you need to eat your veggies. But not everyone likes broccoli, watercress and cabbage. For those folks, we’ve created Optimized Broccoli. It gives you the key compounds associated with the cell and hormone health benefits of raw broccoli, watercress, cabbage and more, without having to fork down those leafy greens every single day.
Don’t fancy those dark green veggies every day? Add our Optimized Broccoli formula to your regimen instead!
