Broccoli Sprouts Extract

John Hopkins Scientists have found a new and highly concentrated source of sulforaphane, a compound they identified in 1992 that helps mobilize the body's natural cancer-fighting resources and reduces the risk of developing cancer.

“Three-day-old broccoli sprouts consistently contain 20 to 50 times the amount of chemoprotective compounds found in mature broccoli heads, and may offer simple, dietary means of chemically reducing cancer risk,” says Paul Talalay, M.D., J.J. Abel Distinguished Service Professor of Pharmacology.

A systematic search for dietary sources of compounds that increase resistance to cancer- causing agents led the Hopkins group to focus on naturally occurring compounds in edible plants that mobilize Phase 2 detoxification enzymes. These enzymes neutralize highly reactive dangerous forms of cancer-causing chemicals before they can damage DNA and promote cancer.

Sulforaphane “is a very potent promoter of Phase 2 enzymes” says Jed Fahey, plant physiologist and manager of the Brassica Chemoprotection Laboratory at Hopkins, and broccoli contains unusually high levels of glucoraphanin, the naturally occurring precursor of sulforaphane.

LifeTime Broccoli Sprouts Extract capsules contain 300 mcg. of naturally occurring sulforaphane.
