Product Information

CRUCIFEROUS EXTRACTS is a unique combination of powerful extracts from what are now accepted as the healthiest of vegetables – Cruciferous. We are all familiar with cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage, along with some less recognized members, including mustard seed and Japanese wasabi. Cruciferous vegetables are the healthy vegetables children love to hate and sadly, they don’t fare much better with adults. Given our limited consumption of these vegetables, a supplement is the only other means of enjoying their remarkable benefits. Unfortunately, making an ethical supplement was not possible until recently, because doing so requires more than putting dried veggies in a pill. In fact, the only ethical way for a dietary supplement to provide the benefits of these vegetables is via standardized extracts verified to deliver the specific, declared beneficial compounds from each vegetable. Our Cruciferous Extracts formula has been in development for more than a decade, but now, we can finally deliver certified standardized extracts of key compounds from a wide variety of Cruciferous vegetables. The most important of these Cruciferous extracts are the Glucosinolates, including Sulforaphane. Glucosinolates are a very broad family of extremely beneficial compounds that give Cruciferous vegetables their characteristic taste and are also responsible for their health benefits. Five of the six extracts in this formula (Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Wasabi and Mustard Seed) are standardized for high levels of Glucosinolates, including the remarkable 10% level found in our Mustard Seed Extract. Our Broccoli Extract is our most potent ever at an amazing standardization of 1.2% Sulforaphane Glucosinolate. Sulforaphane is the compound attributed with Broccoli’s long list of health benefits. We round out the formula with extracts of Red Cabbage standardized for high levels of Polyphenols and Anthocyanins. Our Cruciferous Extracts provides a unique blend of standardized extracts from a broad array of Cruciferous vegetables to provide a convenient and economical source of these beneficial compounds to help overcome the absence of these remarkable foods and their health benefits from our diet.
