Exploring Sulforaphane: The Best Alternative to Cell-Active DIM.

The echoes of dismay over DIM's departure, including our Cytoplan Cell-Active DIM, from the market have reached us, but don’t worry, we have a superior solution for the best alternative to cell-active DIM. Before delving into the wonders of Sulforaphane, let's address the new DIM-shaped gap. First and foremost, there's no need to worry about DIM's absence, it hasn't been removed due to health concerns. Instead, it falls under the category of 'novel food,' indicating it wasn't widely consumed by humans before the novel food regulation took effect. 

So, as DIM takes a hiatus, enter Sulforaphane - the bigger, better sibling ready to step up. We've been advocates of Sulforaphane for quite some time, however, we believe now is the perfect moment to (re)introduce you to this powerhouse compound. As DIM takes a back seat, Sulforaphane takes the spotlight, bringing a variety of benefits that might make you forget about DIM altogether.

Understanding Sulforaphane:

Sulforaphane is a compound mainly sourced from broccoli and broccoli sprouts, However, it is also present in smaller amounts in various cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, mustard greens, turnips, cabbage, watercress, and radish.

This powerful compound has undergone extensive research, revealing numerous benefits. It activates over 250 genes, influencing inflammation, supporting hormones, and deeply aiding liver detoxification, among other advantages that we will touch on later. 

Despite being predominantly found in broccoli sprouts, it's essential to note that chewing these sprouts doesn't directly yield sulforaphane. Instead, the process involves two elements glucoraphanin and the enzyme myrosinase in broccoli's cell walls coming together, resulting in sulforaphane production in the stomach.

Yet, depending on a well functioning digestive system to stimulate this activity may be a challenge due to widespread gut issues, reducing the overall conversion to sulforaphane. Plus, to achieve a comparable amount of sulforaphane to that in our supplement would require a shed load of broccoli sprouts or raw broccoli (myrosinase is mostly lost when cooked).

Nonetheless, we still absolutely recommend eating plenty of sulforaphane rich cruciferous vegetables, as they still come with their own abundance of health benefits

Why is Sulforaphane Superior?

Bid farewell to DIM because Sulforaphane is here to take the crown. Let's dissect the reasons why Sulforaphane proves to be the superior choice, offering a more robust alternative with an array of health benefits that you won't want to miss.

Sulforaphane proves to be exceptionally dynamic compared to DIM. While DIM garners respect for its role in supporting oestrogen metabolism and liver detoxification, Sulforaphane takes it a step further. Unlike DIM, which is primarily useful for these functions, Sulforaphane shows its power by activating 250 genes in the body. 

This comprehensive approach fights diseases and supports detoxification on all three phases in the liver, which is unmatched by any other supplement on the market. In essence, Sulforaphane addresses everything you initially turned to DIM for, and then some — providing extensive support for genetics, metabolism, up-cycling primary antioxidants, and facilitating deep detoxification.

For those who turned to DIM for hormone support, Sulforaphane not only covers that base but offers additional benefits. Here are some of the advantages you may experience from taking Sulforaphane:

• Oestrogen metabolism & detoxification

• Regulation of inflammation

• Increase in natural glutathione production through pro-oxidant properties

• Potential protection of DNA & cellular health

• Blood sugar balance

• Potent antioxidant properties

• Support for vascular health

• Assistance in managing menopause symptoms

• Support for metabolism

• Potential aid in auto-immune conditions

• Support with chronic illnesses

• Reduction of the effects of environmental toxins, particularly beneficial for city dwellers

• Detoxification from caffeine, alcohol, smoking, & other highly toxic chemicals

• Potential usefulness in H. pylori cases due to corrected pH & bacterial balance in the gut 

Natroceutics Sulforaphane:

At Kate Living, we take pride in offering the most exceptional Sulforaphane on the market by Natroceutics. With an extensive background in the supplement industry, Natroceutics stands as a reputable and experienced company, renowned for expertise in utilising the most active and bioavailable forms of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and everything in-between.

Our Sulforaphane by Natroceutics boasts an impressive formulation, containing 680 mg of Brassica oleracea L. (Broccoli), yielding 10 mg of sulforaphane. Additionally, it includes 25 mg of Tetraselmis chuii providing a minimum of 750 units of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity.

What sets our Sulforaphane apart is the inclusion of myrosinase and glucoraphanin, as we discussed earlier. Without these vital components, the natural conversion to sulforaphane would not take place. This inclusion ensures that you experience the complete range of health benefits associated with this compound. This sets our product apart from numerous others on the market that lack these essential components, providing only a fraction of the sulforaphane potential.

Lastly, we introduce the final ingredient in Natroceutics Sulforaphane – SOD (superoxide dismutase). This exclusive addition enhances the overall efficacy of our sulforaphane, ensuring a top-tier supplement.

What is Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)?

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) has earned its reputation as the 'youth molecule,' celebrated for its remarkable antioxidant and anti-aging properties. Unlike many antioxidants that work around the cell, SOD takes its detoxifying powers right into the cell itself. This unique feature is particularly advantageous for hereditary conditions, where influencing gene expression is key to reducing the likelihood of developing such conditions. 

When combined with sulforaphane, the addition of SOD elevates the supplement to extraordinary heights. Now, not only do you have a master detoxifier and gene regulator, but a catalyst for vitality, introducing recycled antioxidants that elevate your overall health to extraordinary levels. Here are some key attributes supported by strong scientific evidence, reinforcing the benefits of this unique blend.

Key Attributes of SOD:

• Potent antioxidant working at the cellular level.

• May reduce inflammatory conditions

• Supportive of cystic fibrosis

• Reduces ischemia (inadequate blood supply to body parts).

• Anti-aging support

• Supports blood sugar regulation

• Supports neurodegenerative diseases

• SOD levels decline with age, making supplementation beneficial

• May protect the skin from oxidation & signs of ageing

The combination of SOD and sulforaphane presents a powerful synergy, offering excellent benefits for the overall health and vitality of the body.

How to Take Natroceutics Sulforaphane:

Natroceutics Sulforaphane stands as a premium, high-standard, and highly effective product. To harness its full potential, follow these simple guidelines:

• Dosage: Take 1 capsule per day on an empty stomach. This optimal dosage ensures you receive the maximum benefits from this potent supplement.

• Hydration: Ensure you stay well-hydrated while incorporating Natroceutics Sulforaphane into your routine. Hydration supports the detoxification process, and it's normal to experience detox effects, especially given the depth at which it works on the liver.

By following these recommendations, you'll maximise the efficacy of Natroceutics Sulforaphane, supporting your journey towards enhanced health and vitality.
