Because the compound is unstable. Glucoraphanin is converted by the enzyme myrosinase into sulforaphane, which protects cellular health and encourages healthy cell function. No one thinks of broccoli as "cool." But broccolis biochemistry is actually pretty interesting. But most of us cook those vegetables first, which inactivates an important enzyme, myrosinase, and reduces the levels of glucoraphanin. Whats interesting is that broccolis physical makeup separates glucoraphanin and myrosinase from each other, so sulforaphane is not produced until its needed. Broccoli contains several health-promoting compounds, including glucoraphanin. Cabbage extract packed with benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) also helps maintain cell health. DIM (diindolylmethane). We know that cruciferous vegetables are good for us. Rather than try to get everyone to eat their cruciferous vegetables raw, weve created our new Optimized Broccoli formula to give you the cell-protective and health-promoting benefits, without the leafy greens. Dual Layer Bioactive Formula. The healthy biology of broccoli. We also added additional myrosinase to help boost sulforaphane production even further. Life Extension has separated myrosinase from glucoraphanin in a dual-layered tablet to optimize glucoraphanin-to-sulforaphane conversion. In addition to broccoli, plants like watercress and cabbage provide phytonutrients such as glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, carnosic acid and carnosolactive compounds that promote healthy estrogen metabolism and cell division. By keeping the two apart until theyre in your stomach, weve optimized the amount of sulforaphane you can get from a broccoli extract supplement. Lastly, this formula contains DIM (diindolylmethane), a compound shown to favorably modulate estrogen metabolism and encourage healthy liver enzymes that help inhibit estrogen metabolites and xenoestrogens (estrogen-like environmental compounds). To enjoy the cellular health benefits of sulforaphane, you have to get the myrosinase to metabolize glucoraphanin into as much sulforaphane as possible, and do so inside your digestive system to avoid the premature breakdown of sulforaphane. Gluten Free. Non-GMO. Watercress, cabbage and more. Innovative partitioned encapsulation technique. So why not just pack a softgel full of sulforaphane? Promotes Healthy Cell Division & Cell Function. This formula contains an innovative TrueBroc extract to maximize the cellular health benefits of broccoli, along with extracts from watercress and cabbage, DIM (diindolylmethane), and more.
