Product Review

*Dr Mercola Fermented Broccoli Sprouts* is a potent source of bioavailable sulforaphane, a compound that plays a vital role in the body's detoxification processes and in promoting optimal cellular health. This premium choice of organic supplements from Dr Mercola contains fermented organic broccoli sprouts powder plus activated organic broccoli powder. Combined these two ingredients provide standardized levels of sulforaphane as well as glucoraphanin - the precusor to sulforaphane - and myrosinase - the enzyme needed to convert glucoraphanin to sulforaphane - to ensure you obtain the optimal health benefits offered by broccoli. To match the health benefits offered by this premium Dr Mercola Fermented Broccoli Sprouts supplement, you would need to consume about two pounds of broccoli a week. Problem is common food preparation and cooking methods are likely to destroy the myrosinase needed to convert glucoraphanin to sulforaphane. It would then be up to your gut flora to complete the conversion process, but unfortunately many of us have less-than-optimal gut flora which means that you'd still receive less-than-optimal health benefits from all that broccoli. Dr Mercola Fermented Broccoli Sprouts takes advantage of the powerful fermentation process to convert glucoraphanin to sulforaphane in advance, so you don't need to depend on your gut flora to do so. In essence, the fermentation process does exactly what a regular healthy gut would do - provide your body with bioavailable sulforaphane. And the addition of whole plant broccoli powder ensures you receive standardized levels of sulforaphane 140 mcg - glucoraphanin 350 mcg - and myrosinase 105 mcg. So if you're looking for a premium choice of organic supplements that can help promote optimal cellular health and aid in your body's detoxification processes.
