Now Foods, Bloomingdale, IL, has introduced Broccology, which contains sgs-100 broccoli concentrate. Now Foods claims broccoli and broccoli seeds serve as important sources of chemoprotective sulfur compounds (i.e., glucoraphanin), which support the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms. Sulforaphane glucosinolate is a potent activator of the body’s immune defense system due to its effect on phase II enzymes. According to the company, two capsules provide 30 mg of sulforaphane glucosinolate, which is metabolized to sulforaphane. Sulforaphane has been shown to support DNA protection, cellular integrity and a healthy immune system.
