Brocco Forte high sulforophane broccoli sprout powder complex

Brocco Forte £32.75

Brocco Forte is a concentrated blend of phytonutrients. It combines young broccoli sprouts with young wheat grass and barley grass all harvested at their nutritional peak combined with tomato powder rich in lycopene, natural red onion powder, turmeric and beta glucan to give a very powerful dietary supplement to fortify and boost the immune system.

Young broccoli sprouts contain the highest possible level of sulforaphane glucosinolates (up to 100 times the amount in a mature plant) which belong to the family of isothiocyanates. Glucosinolates are referred to as indirect antioxidants. Direct antioxidants neutralise free radicals by absorbing their negative energy and rendering them harmless whereas indirect antioxidants work by stimulating the body's own antioxidant system. Broccoli sprouts produce a cascade of antioxidant activity that cycles over and over allowing protection for up to 3 -4 days after the broccoli has been consumed. They provide a healthy and unique way of enhancing the body's own natural defences. The broccoli sprout plants used in Brocco Forte are grown in optimised conditions, chemical free and processed at low temperatures to retain maximum nutrient density.

Broccoli Sprouts in Cancer Treatment

Over the last decade there has been considerable scientific research carried out on the role of broccoli sprouts in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Research throughout the world has shown encouraging effects on several types of cancers including, prostate cancer, stomach cancer and bladder cancer. Although the exact mechanism by which they have a therapeutic effect have not been clearly established most studies suggest its effect is multi-faceted although the action of sulforaphane appears to be key. Research to date has not confirmed the eating of high sulphorophane foods (and broccoli sprouts is the highest) as being a cure for cancer there are several studies that have concluded that the regular ingestion of these foods has got significant cancer preventative benefits.

Broccoli Sprouts in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori

Several studies have shown very positive effects on the consumption of high sulforaphane foods on gastro intestinal problems and in particular the growth of helicobacter pylori. The ingestion of broccoli sprouts high in sulforaphane reduced the colonies of helicobacter pylori and reduced the accompanying inflammation. Trials showed that when the broccoli sprouts were removed from the diet that the helicobacter pylori again proliferated.

A report in Cancer Prevention Research a journal of the American Association of Cancer Research informs that 3 day old broccoli sprouts eliminates helicobacter pylori infections-a widespread type of bacterial infection and a major cause of stomach cancer.

Using ordinary breath, serum and stool tests as methods of assessment, researchers evaluated the severity of helicobacter infections at enrolment. Eight weeks later infection levels were noticeably lower on all three measures among those patients who had eaten broccoli sprouts, while they remained identical for those patients that had eaten alfalfa sprouts.

Brocco Forte is an excellent source of broccoli sprouts for helicobacter sufferers and is blended with several carefully selected immune boosting phytonutrient antioxidants.

Broccoli Sprouts in the treatment of Asthma and Respiratory Disease

Further research has shown possible benefit of sulforaphane in the reduction of inflammation in the respiratory tract connected with asthma, allergic rhinitis and obstructive pulmonary disease. This was believed to be due to the effect of the broccoli sprout derivative stimulating antioxidant activity giving protection against respiratory inflammatory conditions. The scientists strongly recommended including broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables as part of a healthy diet.

Brocco Forte does not just rely on the positive effects of broccoli sprouts but is blended with several other key anti-oxidant, immune boosting nutrients with synergistic properties to provide a powerful nutritious product. These include;

Tomato: Tomato powder has very high lycopene content. Lycopene has been extensively studied over the last decade. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps to neutralise free radicals that are implicated in cancers, heart disease and macular degeneration. Evidence suggests it has greatest benefit for prevention of cancers of the prostrate, lung and stomach with possible benefits for other types of cancers such as colon, oesophagus, breast and cervix. Research also suggests it could be useful for both the cardiovascular system and bone health.

Organic wheat grass : Wheat grass is a powerful alkalizer and detoxifier. It is believed to support optimal functioning of the liver and kidneys. It promotes a high level of antioxidant activity, is rich in vitamins and minerals and contains chlorophyll which has cell purifying and nourishing properties.

Organic Barley grass: Barley grass is a powerful superfood that helps protect the cells against cancer, inflammation and infection. Barley grass is also very beneficial to reduce clotting making it valuable as a preventative of strokes and heart attacks. It also has got therapeutic benefit for ulcerative colitis.

Red Onion: Onions are a very rich source of fructo-oligosaccharides. These oligomers stimulate the growth of healthy bifidobacteria and suppress the growth of potentially harmful bacteria in the colon. In addition, they can reduce the risk of tumours developing in the colon. Onions are a rich source of flavonoids, substances known to provide protection against cardiovascular disease. Onions are also natural anti-clotting agents since they possess substances with fibrinolytic activity and can suppress platelet-clumping. The anti-clotting effect of onions closely correlates their sulphur content. Onions have been used for many generations for their effect on the cardio vascular and respiratory systems. They are also believed to give benefit against tumour growth.

Turmeric: Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Studies have shown that regular consumption of turmeric leads to lower incidences of breast, prostrate, lung and colon cancers. In addition it has got benefits for the cardio vascular system and for reducing inflammation in the intestinal tract. Studies suggest that it may be also be useful to protect against degenerative brain disease.

Beta Glucan: Beta Glucan is an immune system modifier that potentiates the immune response to yield various beneficial immune responses. Beta glucans are polysaccharides that help to give protection against infections, cancers and allergies. It has also got benefit in reducing elevated cholesterol levels.

Brocco Forte: Brocco Forte is a unique blend of these powerful naturally occurring plant derived constituents. It is an excellent dietary supplement to be taken on a daily basis to boost immunity and give the body dense power packed nutrition from a careful blend of potent ingredients. Brocco Forte has a high chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll assists body deodorisation and the destruction of putrid toxins that give rise to body odour and gastro intestinal irritation, in addition to helping oxygen transfer through the body.
