Product Information

Cruciferous Extracts is a unique combination of powerful extracts from what are now accepted as the healthiest of vegetables — cruciferous. Cruciferous vegetables are the healthy vegetables children love to hate and sadly, they don’t fare much better with adults. Given our limited consumption of these vegetables, a supplement is the only other means of enjoying their remarkable benefits. Our Cruciferous Extracts formula delivers standardized extracts of key compounds from a wide variety of cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, mustard seed and Japanese wasabi. The most important of these cruciferous extracts are the glucosinolates, including sulforaphane. Glucosinolates are a very broad family of extremely beneficial compounds that give cruciferous vegetables their characteristic taste and are responsible for their health benefits. Five of the six extracts in this formula (Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Wasabi and Mustard Seed) are standardized for high levels of glucosinolates, including the remarkable 10% level found in our Mustard Seed Extract. Our Broccoli extract is our most potent ever at an amazing standardization of 1.2% sulforaphane glucosinolate, the compound attributed with broccoli’s long list of health benefits. We round out the formula with an extract of Red Cabbage standardized for high levels of polyphenols and anthocyanins. Our Cruciferous Extracts provides a unique blend of standardized extracts from a broad array of cruciferous vegetables to provide a convenient and economical tool to help overcome the absence of these remarkable foods and their health benefits from our diet.
