Kick start your body's own defence mechanism to neutralise harmful free radicals. In recent years, research has identified specific phytochemicals in plant-based vegetable diets that may contribute to prolonging a healthy life. Are some vegetables better for us than others? We have come to recognise that while all fruit & vegetables of many colours & varieties are important in our diet, some seem to be more important than others, as they offer us greater protection. An increasing number of recent studies provide strong evidence that consumption of certain vegetables & Broccoli in particular play a very special role in the overall protective effects of vegetables. Broccoli is believed to be the most potent source of Glucoraphanin. Unlike normal antioxidants, Glucoraphanin kick-starts your body’s own defence mechanism. Once started this triggers an antioxidant cascade that helps neutralise harmful free radicals that may cause damage to cells & tissues. Comvita's unique process captures the same amount of Glucoraphanin per 2 capsules, that would be found in Approx. 100g (1/2 an average head) of fresh Broccoli. Give your body’s defence system a protective boost with the power of nature. Here Glucoraphanin recharges our bodies own protective antioxidant defence enzymes, giving them the power to keep working. This is especially important as a reduced defence enzyme level can lead to many chronic diseases. The kick start effect of Glucoraphanin can last up to 72 hours. This antioxidant booster effect lasts considerable longer than 'normal' antioxidants, for example vitamin E & C, which only work over a period of a few hours after ingestion.
