NXGEN Wholefoods Organic Broccoli Sprouts are a potent source of glucoraphanin.
NXGEN produces broccoli sprouts from organic, non-GMO seeds that are grown in carefully controlled conditions in Australia without the use of synthetic herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides.
They harvest the sprouts when they are six days old, which is when they have the highest levels of isothiocyanates, glucoraphanin, myrosinase, and other beneficial compounds.
Right after harvest, the sprouts are quickly taken to their manufacturing facility, where they are freeze-dried using a special proprietary system, milled, and encapsulated. That's it; nothing is added or taken away except the water content. The cell structure is left intact, which helps to protect fragile nutrients and compounds. A better drying and cold milling process yields a product with higher sulforaphane-producing potential.
The body turns glucoraphanin into the potent compound sulforaphane. In order to do this, the enzyme myrosinase must be present. Unfortunately, most sulforaphane supplements do not contain this important enzyme. This means that most people are not getting the benefits they should from their sulforaphane supplement.
While many companies use broccoli or broccoli seeds to make their sulforaphane supplements because it is a cheaper way of doing it, NXGEN uses sprouts because they are higher in beneficial compounds and more bioavailable. For example, the sprouts contain fifty times more isothiocyanates than broccoli.
Myrosinase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the defense response of plants. Sulforaphane is activated when glucoraphanin comes into contact with myrosinase.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why take broccoli sprouts capsules when you can buy fresh?

NXGEN Wholefoods provides organic, regeneratively farmed, vegetables, grass-fed, grass-finished beef organs and glands sourced from Australian family farms. They are the only company globally
with over fifty years of meat industry experience and qualifications to harvest and
collect the perfect quality glands and organs.
This is unlike the vast majority of vegetable, beef organ and desiccated organ supplement companies that do not manufacture their raw materials or finished products and have no relationship with the farms the organs come from.
The NXGEN Wholefoods range of vegetables, organs and glands is sourced from the ancient and untouched soils and land of Lake Eyre in South Australia, where the ranches are as large as Texas. The cattle thrive on native grasses and roam freely for thousands of miles in an area where no cropping occurs. So, there’s no glyphosate spraying or overdrift from neighboring properties. The cows are not given hormones and antibiotics. Their cattle are the cleanest source of organs and glands, providing the benefits of unique, natural peptides, vitamins, and minerals.
NXGEN Whole Foods is vertically integrated, meaning they have full control of all parts of
the sourcing and manufacture from farm to capsule. They buy restaurant-grade foods, organs and glands and inspect them firsthand; they own and operate the freeze-drying technology and process. All of their desiccated organs are glands are 100% non-defatted. The final process of encapsulation and packing is done in their state-of-the-art factory in NSW, Australia.
They use a special, slower freeze-drying technology that helps to protect and preserve delicate nutrients and compounds. They are also one of only a few companies that own and operate a cryo-mill. Traditional milling of ingredients creates a lot of heat and friction, which can damage fragile compounds. Cryo-milling is a cold process that protects them.
They manufacture small batches for freshness and use one of the most gentle freeze-drying processes to keep all the nutrients intact so each capsule is equivalent to eating the raw vegetable, organ and gland without the mess, but with the the convenience of knowing food safety and food quality is the best.
All batches are third-party tested for purity and safety.
