World Class Nutrition In Capsule Form
When on the go, it can be almost impossible to get all the nutrients you need. Planning, shopping, and preparing meals take time. A lot of time.
Two nutrition powerhouses that can help you get the nutrition you need to keep going are dried encapsulated broccoli sprouts and liver
The Remarkable Health Benefits of Broccoli Sprouts
Broccoli sprouts, the young shoots of the broccoli plant, have gained significant attention in recent years for their exceptional nutritional profile and potential health benefits. These tiny greens pack a powerful punch, offering a concentrated source of nutrients and bioactive compounds that surpass even their mature counterpart.
Nutritional Profile
Low in calories, rich in fiber, vitamins A, C, and calcium, broccoli sprouts possess some amazing properties that make them one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
Compared to mature broccoli, sprouts offer similar macronutrient content but with significant differences in micronutrients and bioactive compounds. The most notable distinction is the concentration of glucoraphanin, a precursor to sulforaphane, which is up to 100 times higher in broccoli sprouts than in mature broccoli. (1,2)
Health Benefits
Antioxidant powerhouse
Broccoli sprouts contain glucosinolates, which are sulfur rich compounds found in the brassica family. They have profound health benefits.
Cardiovascular Health
Studies have shown that consuming broccoli sprouts can improve cardiovascular health markers. One study found that participants who consumed 100mg of fresh broccoli sprouts daily for a week had significantly lower total and LDL cholesterol levels, along with increased HDL cholesterol. (3)
Digestive Health and cancer-fighting properties
The high fiber content in broccoli sprouts promotes digestive health by supporting regular bowel movements and feeding beneficial gut bacteria. Additionally, sulforaphane has shown antibacterial effects against Helicobacter pylori (which affects 50% of the world’s population), a bacterium associated with gastric ulcers and gastric cancer. (4,5,6)
Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects
- Broccoli sprouts are rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C and sulforaphane, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body. This may contribute to a lower risk of chronic diseases and support overall health. (3)
Brain Health
- Emerging research suggests that sulforaphane may have neuroprotective properties, potentially benefiting brain health and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. (3)
Not to be outdone, are the amazing health benefits of liver
The liver is often hailed as a nutritional powerhouse due to its exceptional nutrient density. This organ meat offers a wide array of health benefits, making it a valuable addition to many diets.
High-quality protein
Over a quarter of the liver is protein. Being an animal protein it supplies all the amino acids needed to repair and make new cells in the body. (7)
Hormonal Balance
One of the most significant benefits of consuming liver is its potential to support hormonal balance. The liver is rich in vitamin A, which plays a role in the production of pregnenolone. Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone that plays a key role in the production of other steroid hormones, including progesterone, DHEA, and estrogen. (8)
High in iron, vitamin B12, and folate, makes liver an ideal food for preventing and addressing anemia.
The vitamin A content in the liver is unparalleled, surpassing that of most other foods, which can help improve vision, skin health, and immune function.
Improved Energy Levels: The liver’s high B-vitamin and iron content supports energy production and combats fatigue.
Enhanced Immune Function: The liver is rich in zinc and selenium, which are crucial for maintaining a robust immune system.
Skin Health: The vitamin A and copper in the liver contribute to collagen production and skin elasticity, reducing signs of aging.
Cognitive Function: The choline content in the liver supports brain health and may improve memory and cognitive performance.
