NXGEN Organic Broccoli Sprouts 100s

Fresh 6 day young Broccoli Sprouts have been freeze dried raw at less than 60C to retain the active myrosinase enzyme and glucoraphanin.  The enzyme myrosinase along with the molecule glucoraphanin is retained in tact by the freeze drying process which removes all water from the Broccoli Sprout using cold drying technology under vacuum. When the capsule enters the gut, stomach acids break down the cellulose capsules, creating a  reaction between the myrosinase enzyme and the glucoraphanin molecule which in turn produces sulphoraphane.

Sulphoraphane turns on a switch in the cells to activate protective nRF-2, genes and pathways in the body such as anti oxidants enzymes and anti inflammatory genes.  

Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring inducer of phase II enzymes to help detoxify unwanted chemicals that contribute to health problems.  Glucoraphanin is the precursor of sulforaphane and its content is greatly influenced by seed quality, pre-harvest factors and process methods.

Harvested on the sixth day then immediately freeze dried, raw Broccoli Sprouts is full of bioactive phytonutrients entirely grown and made here in Australia under strict biosecurity regulations.  

NXGEN unique freeze dry production method extracts all water whilst leaving the cell structure in tact, and concentrated levels of myrosinase and gycoraphanin, allowing the nutrients to remain untouched.

NXGEN Broccoli Sprouts Capsules - Organic Australian Grown

• Contains is a potent super nutrient more than 50x more powerful than broccoli.
• Broccoli Sprouts have enormous antioxidant activity being a natural source of Vitamins A, C and K.
• NXGEN Broccoli Sprouts grow their Broccoli Sprouts from 100% organic, non-GMO seed and harvest them when they are 6 days old - young and bursting with goodness!  The seeds are proprietary seeds known for their rich nutrients of myrosinase and glycoraphanin.
• NXGEN Broccoli Sprouts Powder is a natural, freeze-dried product, without any fillers, or additives, no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Importantly our Broccoli Sprouts have naturally occurring myrosinase and glucoraphanin.  Without these together there can be no sulforaphane.  Sulforaphane is produced when Broccoli Sprouts containing glucoraphanin and myrosinase are broken down in the small intestine by stomach acids.

Sulforaphane from Broccoli Sprouts is a powerful tool in helping keep the body healthy by activating a bank of detoxification pathways, that assist to reduce inflammation, and fight off cell damage caused by free radicals.

As with all food production methods, not all Broccoli Sprouts are the same. Our Broccoli Sprouts are grown organically offering the highest quality nutrients.  The Broccoli Sprouts are dried into a powder using proprietary processes for maximum efficacy.

Dr Rhonda Patrick says:

“There’s tonnes and tonnes of studies showing that sulphoraphane increases levels of glutathione in blood and also in the human brain. Glutathione is the major antioxidant, particularly in the brain. It’s not only increasing the antioxidant systems it’s decreasing DNA damage, quite significantly by as much as 30%, and this for humans Is very important.”

Antioxidants are molecules that inhibit or neutralise cell damage caused by free radicals. This can lead to reduced inflammation and provide an overall health-protective effect.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Why take broccoli sprouts capsules when you can buy fresh?

High Quality Organic Fresh Broccoli Sprouts are very difficult to source and not all broccoli sprouts have the same high levels of myrosinase and glucoraphanin. We harvest and gently freeze dry our Broccoli Sprouts to lock in the nutrients when they are most bioactive. Buying fresh from grocery stores doesn’t allow for optimising the Bioactive's, once Broccoli Sprouts pass the 6 day mark and are packed into plastic tubs they begin to lose their nutrients, the longer they sit on the supermarket shelf the the bigger decline in nutrients. Freeze drying retains the enzymes and nutrients at the same level as 6 day fresh Broccoli Sprouts. 

Why NXGEN Broccoli Sprouts?

The quality of Broccoli Sprouts is dependent on the level of myrosinase and glucoraphanin in the seeds.  Our seeds are of the highest quality and have one of the highest amounts of myrosinase enzyme and the molecule glucoraphanin.  As the seed sprouts it develops even higher levels of myrosinase and glucoraphanin.  Broccoli sprouts are picked at the most optimum time, at 6 days and dried immediately using cold drying technology, below 60C.

How many grams of fresh broccoli sprouts is used to make 1000mg of freeze dried powder?

1000mg (1 gram) of freeze dried broccoli sprouts powder is equivalent to eating 20 grams of fresh broccoli sprouts. 

How do I achieve the optimum efficacy of sulphoraphane?

Take on an empty stomach with water so as not to compete with other foods for digestion.  Freeze Dried Raw Broccoli Sprouts contains myrosinase and glucorapahnin that react together to form sulphoraphane.  During digestion sulphoraphane is able to pass through the small intestine into the blood stream where it enters the cells to begin activation of the nRF-2 antioxidant pathways.  

What is the purpose of Sulphoraphane in Plants like Broccoli Sprouts?

Sulphoraphane is a defence mechanism in plants to protect the plant by killing insects that eat the sprouts.  However humans, being much larger and having different physiology and biological process than insects and are able to eat Broccoli Sprouts without the same effect as insects. Sulphoraphane is not toxic to humans and rather has a beneficial effect of turning on banks of cells that have a protective effect on the body.
