Seewald Ortho Sulforaphane Premium Capsules are a dietary supplement containing sulforaphane from broccoli extract and vitamin C to help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Powerful blend of 500mg broccoli extract with at least 10% bioactive sulforaphane and vitamin C to help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Properties

• Natural sulforaphane from broccoli flowers
• Obtained by gentle water-ethanol extraction
• Extract with at least 10 % sulforaphane
• Broccoli rich in vitamin C, vitamin K and folic acid
• With vitamin C for cell protection
  

Broccoli is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid and fibre and contains antioxidants as well as a variety of other valuable plant substances - one of the most important being sulforaphane. Vitamin C, which has particularly valuable properties in helping to protect cells from oxidative stress, complements the plant extract perfectly.

Sulforaphane belongs to the secondary plant substances, more precisely to the group of isothiocyanates (mustard oil glycosides). They are found as natural compounds in cruciferous vegetables, the best source being broccoli, followed by Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. When the cells of cruciferous vegetables are damaged (e.g. when the vegetables are eaten), two natural compounds come together: glucoraphanin, the precursor of sulforaphane, on the one hand, and myrosinase, the activating enzyme required to form sulforaphane from glucoraphanin, on the other. The mustard oil has a strong odour and is usually used by the plant as protection against predators.

Gentle water-alcohol extraction (20:80) makes it possible to obtain broccoli extract with at least 10% bioavailable sulforaphane.

Despite its many other nutritional benefits, the sulforaphane content of the vegetable itself is relatively low, so you would have to eat large quantities every day to get the same amount of sulforaphane as in a capsule (50mg). Sulforaphane dissolves in water during cooking due to its good water solubility. However, the activating enzyme, myrosinase, is very heat-labile. Broccoli should therefore be eaten raw or only fried briefly.
