Efficacy and Functions
Antioxidation: Components such as sulforaphane, flavonoids, and vitamin C work synergistically to effectively scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce the damage caused by oxidative stress to cells and tissues, and prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Anti-cancer and Cancer Prevention: Ingredients like sulforaphane can induce the production of Phase II detoxifying enzymes, which helps to eliminate carcinogenic substances in the body. At the same time, it can also inhibit the growth and proliferation of cancer cells and induce cancer cell apoptosis.
Cardiovascular Protection: Components such as flavonoids can lower cholesterol levels, inhibit platelet aggregation, and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, thereby protecting cardiovascular health and reducing the incidence of heart diseases and strokes.
Immune Enhancement: Abundant vitamin C and other nutrients can stimulate the activity of immune system cells, enhance the body's resistance, and help the body defend against the invasion of various pathogens.
Improvement of Digestive System Function: Components such as dietary fiber in broccoli extract help to promote intestinal peristalsis, increase the volume of feces, prevent constipation, maintain the balance of the intestinal flora, and protect intestinal health.
