Broccoli Seed Extract: the Ultimate Antioxidant

NeuroPruTect Broccoli Seed ExtractEveryone knows that broccoli is good for you, but not all broccoli is created equal. SGS broccoli seed extract is a super-vegetable that provides three days of antioxidant support and boasts the highest level of glucoraphanin (13%), more than any other broccoli product on the market today.

NeuroPruTect and ProteinPruTect contain 60mg and 30mg, respectively, of SGS broccoli seed extract.

Why is Broccoli So Great?

Because broccoli contains glucosinolate, glucoraphanin and isothiocyanates:
  • Glucoraphanin is the glucosinolate found in broccoli and converts to sulforaphane in the body
  • Isothiocyanates are the bioactive molecules that trigger antioxidant activity in the body, with the most well-known being sulforaphane
NeuroPruTect Broccoli Seed ExtractSulforaphane was identified in 1992 as the compound in broccoli responsible for many of its positive benefits. These compounds and their mechanisms have been studied extensively and supported by more than 500 scientific publications.
  • The science has particularly focused on the compound's ability to selectively boost Phase II enzymes, enhancing the detoxification of cells
  • These indirect antioxidants eliminate many types of free radicals, are recycled by the body, and remain active for up to three days
Broccoli Seed Extract

Due to the fragility of broccoli sprouts, SGS broccoli seed extract is made from the seed where glucoraphanin is most concentrated and stable. SGS broccoli seed extract is:
  • Produced in North America under the FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Standards (cGMP) for drugs
  • A completely natural process, using water extraction
  • Patented in the US and international markets
  • Specially formulated for tablets
  • Kosher

The Appetite Suppression of Green Tea without the Restroom Visits

Green tea has long demonstrated many health benefits, including appetite suppression. However, to experience them, it would be necessary to almost constantly be drinking a cup of tea. It's for this reason that the primary components of green tea have been extracted to provide 10 cups worth of green tea in a single capsule of the new PruTectRx product, WeightPruTect, thereby providing you with excellent antioxidant power without all of the trips to the restroom.

What is Green Tea Extract?
Green tea extract is essentially all of the key constituents of green tea in a more potent form. The biochemical properties of green tea extracts can be generally divided into four aspects – antioxidant, anticarcinogen, anti-inflammatory, and anti-radiation. Through a purification process, however, it is possible to extract those primary benefits to acquire a higher content of tea catechins, the "magic" piece of the green tea puzzle.

Catechins are part of a group of polyphenols called flavonoids that are found naturally in plants and help to stimulate thermogenesis, the process by which the body generates heat therefore increasing metabolism.

Why Green Tea?
From the antioxidant perspective, green tea extracts are, generally speaking, more effective than black tea extracts due to the better preservation of catechins because in black tea the catechins are fully oxidized and converted to theaflavins. In other words, the good stuff isn't destroyed through the purification process.

Green Tea Extract Trivia
Did you know that green tea extract is 20 times more antioxidant-active than Vitamin C? Now that's what we call packing a punch!

Green Tea & Weight Loss
Along with its incredible antioxidant properties, green tea also supports a healthy metabolism. It is for this purpose that WeightPruTect was created. WeightPruTect is specifically formulated to support proper weight maintenance and control while still providing the benefits associated with antioxidants including immune system function and endocrine system function.

To maximize results and achieve your weight-loss goals, use WeightPruTect with in conjunction with CravePruTect as part of our WeightLossPruTect bundle.

Fend Off Free Radicals with Two Antioxidants You Should Know

Every day, your body's cells are under attack from free radicals in the form of pollution, smoke and food additives—all of which can damage cell structures. Over time, this damage can decrease your body’s natural ability to function properly.

One way to fight back is to eat foods high in antioxidants. Antioxidants attack these havoc-wreaking free radicals and help promote overall health and wellness. However, if you don't eat a lot of carbs or curry, you may need to supplement your diet with nutritional supplements rich in antioxidants.

Antioxidants & Energy

On their own, antioxidants do not create energy. Energy comes from the intake of calories in the form of carbohydrates, protein and fat. However, when you take a nutritional supplement rich in antioxidants, you give your body the ammunition needed to support the overall quality of your health, which in turn helps you feel more vibrant and energetic.

Two such antioxidants are Vitamin E and turmeric.

Vitamin E & Turmeric

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that prevents the production of free radicals when fat undergoes oxidation. Vitamin E comes in multiple forms, but its most biologically active form is α-Tocopherol and can be found abundantly in wheat germ, sunflower and safflower oils.

Turmeric is the predominant ingredient in Indian curry and is taken from Zingiberaceae, a perennial plant in the ginger family. The power behind this specific free radical fighter is curcumin, which also gives turmeric its distinctive yellow color.

Each of these powerful antioxidants can be found in OmegaSmoothiePruTect, a delicious liquid nutritional supplement. By adding OmegaSmoothiePruTect to your diet, you not only supply your body with antioxidants to fend off free radicals, but you also support joint tissue health, brain function and nervous system function with omega-3.

OmegaSmoothiePruTect Now Available
