Description
Sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) is a natural substance extracted from the seeds and sprouts of selected broccoli varieties. It is an indirect antioxidant that provides long-term protection of cells from free radical damage.
Typical antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene act "directly" to neutralize free radicals and usually only last for about three hours. after swallowing.
When Thorne Crucera-SGS is ingested and begins to break down in the gut, it releases sulforaphane, thereby activating the body's natural detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes and protecting cells from free radical damage for several days. Each Thorne Crucera-SGS capsule is the equivalent of two pounds of cooked broccoli.
Sulforaphane was first discovered in 1992 by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and is now considered a key component of many of the health benefits attributed to cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and kale. Sulforaphane Research has published over 500 journal articles over the past two decades.
