Sulfurophane: A powerful supplement for detoxification

Sulfurophane is a powerful phytonutrient found in particularly high amounts in broccoli seeds, and studies have shown that it can have a great effect on enhancing phase II liver detoxification. Sulfurophane protects liver cells against carcinogens and oxidative DNA-damage and supports the liver pathways that are involved in clearance of other toxins and excess hormones.

Sulfuropahane for hormone balance

For some women, sulfurophane can be a beneficial tool in a helping to improve hormone or cycle health. Optimising liver detoxication can limit used sex hormones from recirculating back into the body know as hepatic-recirculation. This can upset the balance of oestrogen and progesterone, which can cause cycle health, mood issues and fertility issues.

How to consume sulfurophane

Home sprouting broccoli seeds is one way of getting in a fresh dose of sulphurophane, but not everyone has the time to tend sprouts on a regular basis. The good news is that there are sulfurophane supplement formulas on the market, some being of higher quality than others, so getting expert guidance on supplementation brands and dosage is key.
