• Broccoli Sprouts contain Vitamin C which has been shown to affect immune function and development of age-related macular degeneration.

• Broccoli Sprouts contain Vitamin K which is important for blood and Bone Health as it promotes Bone-building by helping Calcium adhere to the Bone.

• Vitamin K intakes were reduce the risk of hip fracture and increased Bone mineral density.

• Broccoli Sprouts are densely packed with trace Minerals, Amino Acids, and Indole-3-carbinole (cancer-Fighting compounds) that is known to arrests or lower the risk of Hormone dependent (breast & Prostate) Cancers by altering estrogen Metabolism (Integrative Cancer Therapies, review paper).

• They help our bodies Fight carcinogens because they also contain Sulforaphane (a particularly potent member of the isothiocyanate family) increases the production of phase-2 enzymes, which can disarm damaging free radicals and help Fight carcinogens. Sulforaphane is the most potent inducer of phase-2 enzymes of any Phytochemical known to Date (Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention).

• Cruciferous Vegetables contain high levels of a Phytochemicals (namely Sulforaphane and Indoles) and are among the most potent naturally occurring Anti-Breast Cancer agents ever identified.

• Sulforaphane (a Phytochemicals now famous for its potent Cancer protective powers) increases the activation of enzymes known as phase-2 enzymes, which help Fight carcinogens and may reduce the risk of Prostate Cancer.

• Indoles (a phytonutrients) found in Broccoli help protect against Prostate, gastric, Skin, breast, and Cervical Cancers. Some research suggests that Indoles also protect the structure of DNA and may reduce the risk of Prostate Cancer.

• Indole-3-carbinol, which, in addition to being a strong antioxidant and stimulator of detoxifying enzymes, seems to protect the structure of DNA. Indole-3-carbinol is of particular importance to women as reduces the risk of breast and Cervical Cancer.

Broccoli’s Phytochemicals Fight Cancer by:

• Neutralizing carcinogens,
• Accelerating /speeding up their removal / elimination from the body through apoptosis,
• Inhibiting tumors caused by chemical carcinogens,
• Reducing their Poisonous effects,
• Stimulating the release of carcinogen killers,

• Broccoli Sprouts Vitamin K content supports cardiovascular health by preventing serious health problems such as atherosclerosis (Calcium and Lipid plaques occurring within artery walls) and Stroke.

• Vitamin C ensures the proper dilation of blood vessels, meaning Cholesterol cannot easily obstruct arteries and ensures an adequate blood supply to The Heart, thus preventing a cardiovascular disease condition called Angina Pectoris (chest pain).

• It has been shown to decrease the risk of atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease and plasma Ascorbic Acid concentration reduce mortality from all causes (including cardiovascular disease, ischemic heart disease and Cancers) in men and women.

• Vitamin K is essential for the proper coagulation of blood and prevention of bleeding (blood loss during the process of Wound healing) by means of prothrombin (a blood coagulation factor).

• Vitamin C significantly reduces lead levels in the blood. It helps eliminate toxins from the blood, thus removing any dangerous amounts of lead.

• Broccoli Sprouts are rich with enzymes, Vitamins, Amino Acids and a concentrated amounts of Phytochemicals that can have strong protective effects against disease.

• They contain 30-50 times the concentration of protective chemicals found in the mature Broccoli plants (Researchers at Johns Hopkins University).

• Vitamin K protects against oxidative Stress (anti-oxidant properties). It would appear that Phylloquinone and Menaquinone can protect cells from oxidative Stress.

• Vitamin C is essential for good health, being an incredibly powerful natural anti-oxidant, Anti-Inflammatory and anti-bacterial. It maintain the health of cells by helping to protect them against damage from free radicals (destructive molecules linked to Cancer, DNA damage, and aging).

• Vitamin C-rich foods help the body recover its provisions of Vitamin E (another potent anti-oxidant).

• Vitamin C is a great anti-bacterial and a natural anti-histamine, reducing the most unpleasant effects of the common cold (such as inflammation, stuffy nose, muscle pain and so on).

• Vitamin K stimulates the absorption of Calcium from both food sources and supplements, thus contributing to strong, healthy Bones. It is the prerequisite for strong, healthy Bones and it prevents osteoclasts from re-absorbing Bone tissue and depleting our Bones of crucial Minerals.

• Vitamin C increases intestinal absorption of non-heme Iron by either reducing Iron from the ferrous ionic state to ferric state (in its capacity as an electron donor) or by forming a soluble complex with the Iron in the alkaline pH of the small intestine.

• Vitamin C helps heal cuts and Wounds and keep teeth and Gums healthy.

• Broccoli Sprouts Vitamin C is beneficial in protecting against Respiratory symptoms associated with Asthma and wheezing symptoms in children and a popular natural remedy for Colds and Coughs.

• Broccoli Sprouts Vitamin C (a co-factor in collagen synthesis) supports and stimulates collagen production, helping us look fresh, young and radiant.
