Title: Broccoli Powder, 150g
Description:
Even with a healthy diet, our bodies may still lack essential nutrients. Broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable like kale and cabbage, is exceptionally rich in vital compounds. Nutrients like indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane act as potent antioxidants, protecting against free radical damage and boosting detoxification. Broccoli also boasts an impressive array of vitamins (K, C, A, B6), minerals (potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium), carotenoids, chlorophyll, and phenolic compounds. The benefits are numerous:
- Powerful Detoxification: Supports liver function and overall body cleansing.
- Weight Management: High fiber content promotes satiety and healthy digestion.
- Antioxidant & Anti-Cancer Properties: Indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane combat cancer-causing agents and reduce the risk of several cancers, including breast, bladder, and colon cancer. Sulforaphane’s impact on estrogen metabolism is particularly beneficial for women’s health.
- Cardiovascular Health: Lowers cholesterol, regulates blood sugar, and supports healthy blood pressure. Sulforaphane helps maintain kidney function and prevents atherosclerosis.
- Bone Health: An exceptional source of Vitamin K (270% of the recommended daily intake), crucial for bone metabolism alongside calcium and magnesium.
- Digestive Health: High fiber content promotes regular bowel movements, easing constipation and relieving IBS symptoms. Indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane combat harmful gut bacteria.
