Broccoli Sprouts – Organic – Universal Living Sprouts*

Our very own Mother Nature is our best physician, and a diet of mostly whole, fresh organically-grown foods is indeed the best medicine and undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to achieve optimal health and to prevent disease. Broccoli sprouts should be at the top of this list.

To begin with? all sprouts, with their high level of nutrients and enzymes, have incredibly important health benefits for the immune system. Their enzymes will give you increased energy, powerful anti-oxidants will fight free-radicals, and their important minerals and nutrients are easily absorbed by your body.

Most of us know something about the health and cancer-fighting benefits of broccoli. Fresh broccoli sprouts are FAR more potent than whole broccoli, allowing you to eat far less in terms of quantity, and they contain anywhere from 10 to 100 times the amount of Glucosinolate Glucoraphanin, a chemical precursor to Sulforaphane (created when they are chewed or swallowed). Glucoraphanin is said to accelerate the body?s ability to eliminate toxic pollutants and has also been shown to protect against cancer by boosting cell enzymes that protect against molecular damage from cancer-causing chemicals. In addition, some studies show it has been known to lower blood pressure and also improve kidney function. Sulforaphane, a powerful anti-cancer phytochemical, has significant anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties and is a very potent inducer of the Liver?s detoxification enzymes. A specific compound in Sulforaphane, Isothiocynate, is believed to have very strong cancer-fighting benefits and studies indicate that it can inhibit cancerous stem cells (the cells that tumors grow from) and shrink existing tumors.

Additional benefits: Broccoli Sprouts are excellent for the intestinal tract and aid healthy digestion. They promote detoxification, can improve blood sugar levels, may help reduce risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, decrease triglyceride levels, and significantly increase HDL (good cholesterol) as well as help to reduce inflammation, which is the root cause of many illnesses.
