Product Information
CRUCERA-SGS is an advanced antioxidant formula that harnesses the
chemoprotective properties of sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) – a
natural substance from the seeds and sprouts of select broccoli
varietals – for effective up-regulation of the body's natural phase II
detoxification enzymes.* SGS is an indirect antioxidant that provides
long-lasting cell protection from free radical damage for days after
being consumed.*
When CRUCERA-SGS is ingested and begins breaking
down in the gut, it releases sulforaphane, thereby activating the
body's natural detoxification and antioxidant enzymes and protecting
cells from free radical damage.* Sulforaphane was identified in 1992 by
researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and is
thought to be the key factor behind the many health benefits attributed
to cruciferous vegetables.* The research has produced more than 500
journal publications over the past two decades.
Typical
antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or beta carotene, work
"directly" to neutralize free radicals and are usually only effective
for approximately three hours after ingestion. As an "indirect"
antioxidant, CRUCERA-SGS induces the activity of phase II detoxification
enzymes, which then triggers broad-spectrum antioxidant activity that
can last for several days – long after CRUCERA-SGS has been consumed.*
Each capsule of CRUCERA-SGS contains 50 mg of sulforaphane glucosinolate – equivalent to eating 2 lbs of cooked broccoli.
