Naturopaths Madonna Guy & Linda Hoggard chatting the mechanics of Sulforaphane!
What Is Sulforaphane?
Sulforaphane is a sulfur-rich compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, bok choy, and cabbage. It has been shown to provide powerful health benefits.
In these foods, it’s in the inactive form glucoraphanin that belongs to the glucosinolate family of plant compounds.
Sulforaphane is activated when glucoraphanin comes into contact with myrosinase, a family of enzymes that play a role in the defense response of plants.
Myrosinase enzymes are only released and activated when a plant is damaged. Therefore, cruciferous vegetables must be cut, chopped, or chewed to release myrosinase and activate sulforaphane (1Trusted Source).
Raw vegetables have the highest levels of sulforaphane. One study found that raw broccoli had ten times more sulforaphane than cooked broccoli (2Trusted Source).
Steaming vegetables for one to three minutes may be the best way to optimize sulforaphane levels when cooking (3Trusted Source).
It’s best to cook the vegetables below 284˚F (140˚C), as exceeding this temperature results in a loss of glucosinolates like glucoraphanin (4Trusted Source).
For this reason, it’s best to avoid boiling or microwaving cruciferous vegetables. Instead, eat them raw or lightly steamed to maximize their sulforaphane content.
SUMMARY
Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring compound in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and kale. It’s activated only when vegetables are chopped or chewed. The highest levels of sulforaphane are found in raw vegetables.
Product Education: Adult Stem Cells
WHAT ARE ADULT STEM CELLS?
Undifferentiated cells that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. (A cell that has yet to develop into a particular cell type) They can become any type of cell (skin, bone, liver, heart, lung for example) and replicate themselves throughout the entire life of an organism.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
Repair & rebuild the body.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING MORE ADULT STEM CELLS?
Research shows that a higher number of circulating adult stem cells is one of the most beneficial factors for optimal health.
An increase in the number of adult stem cells gives us more building blocks to repair, recover, and rebuild. Adult stem cell natural release rates from the bone marrow decline as we age.
By 35 years old, the natural stem cell release rate drops by as much as 45%
By 50 years old, the natural stem cell release rate drops by as much as 50%
By 65 years old, the natural stem cell release rate drops by as much as 90%
All of the cells in our body have a limited life span. Some cells live for days, others live for weeks, months, and some for years.
Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and good food feed, nourish, and protect our cells. However, no matter how much you feed and protect your cells, they will eventually die off, and it’s only your adult stem cells that will replace these dying cells with brand new healthy cells.
