Broccoli and broccoli seeds serve as important sources of chemoprotective sulfur compounds, such as Glucoraphanin, that supports the body's natural detoxification mechanisms. sgs™ (Sulforaphane Glucosinolate) is a potent activator of the body's immune defense system through its effect on Phase II enzymes.* Two capsules provide 30 mg Sulforaphane Glucosinolate that is metabolized to Sulforaphane. To date, sgs™ has been the subject of hundreds of scientific studies, and continues to show promise in supporting healthy cellular activity. *

sgs and sgs-100 is sulforaphane glucosinolate.

For more information on the proposed benefits of sgs™-100, as well as scientific data and ongoing studies, please see the bottom of this page.

What Is SGS - sulforaphane glucosinolate?

Increasingly, scientists are examining the role specific natural plant compounds (phytochemicals) may play in increasing the body's natural defense system. In 1992, researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine identified sulforaphane, a compound that occurs naturally in broccoli. Johns Hopkins researchers believe that many phytochemicals, including sulforaphane, may help explain why diets rich in fruits and cruciferous vegetables are associated with a reduced risk of cancer. The basis for this belief is from laboratory research on animals; it is being confirmed in humans. Sulforaphane, in the form of its natural precursor - sulforaphane glucosinolate (sgs™) - is also found in foods such as kale and cabbage. Johns Hopkins University researchers found that young broccoli sprouts, in particular, contained high concentrations of sgs™.

The scientists believe that SGS boosts the body's own antioxidant defense system, including Phase 2 detoxification enzymes, which promote long-lasting antioxidant activity in the body.

Antioxidants

Many people are familiar with common antioxidants such as vitamins C and E that neutralize free radicals before they can harm cells. These vitamins are now called direct antioxidants. sgs™ is an indirect antioxidant - it does not neutralize free radicals directly, but rather boosts Phase 2 enzymes that trigger ongoing and long-lasting antioxidant activity. Researchers believe that sgs™ may be even more effective than direct antioxidants in protecting cells against free radicals and electrophiles.
