Most of us know that consuming vegetables such as broccoli is good for our health, but it's only within the past 20 years that experts have discovered the mechanisms of specific phytonutrients within these plants, and their cell-protecting benefits. Broccoli Plus contains the innovative and patented TrueBroc® glucoraphanin extract, designed to maximise the cellular health benefits of broccoli, with added mustard myrosinase to optimise the production of the cell-protecting compound sulphoraphane. A 2012 study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, may suggest that broccoli sprouts may improve insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients. To elaborate, it may suggest that sulforaphane and kaempferol in this cruciferous food might have the ability to lower blood sugar levels in those who have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus diabetics, thereby helping control it . Broccoli in addition to a heart-healthy, carbohydrate-controlled diet is always encouraged for the best results when it comes to blood glucose control. May Improve Metabolism Different cooking methods, such as boiling, microwaving, stir-frying and steaming, alter the vegetable’s nutrient composition, particularly reducing vitamin C, as well as soluble protein and sugar. Steaming appears to have the fewest negative effects ( 2).Hwang JH, Lim SB. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of broccoli florets in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Prev Nutr Food Sci. 2014;19(2):89-97. doi:10.3746/pnf.2014.19.2.089 A Harvard Medical research paper suggests that broccoli may be rich in beta-carotene, which when consumed causes nearly a 25 percent less risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Plus, it may contain omega 3 fatty acids, which also might help in preventing ALS. Recent research suggests that intake of diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids may reduce or delay the onset of Lou Gehrig’s disease. May Boost Immunity Look for the ones that has bright green heads, compact clusters of florets, and firm stalks. Make sure the fragrance is peppery and not unpleasant. How to Store Broccoli?

Mild side effects have been associated with sulforaphane supplements, such as an increase in gas, constipation, and diarrhea ( 17, 29). Fahey JW, Wade KL, Wehage SL, et al.
