Someone at my healthstore was saying how wonderful it is for acne, wrinkles and imparts a wonderful glow. However this may be hype! The science looks good but then it always does. I'm highly tempted but first would like to know:
has anyone tried it?
Here is info on the ingredients:
Sulforaphane Skin Care
Sulforaphane is a compound classified as an “isothiocyanate” and has been shown to have a number of health benefits including being one of the most potent naturally occurring inducers of Phase II Enzymes (enzymes such as quinone reductase, glutathione S-transferase and glutathione reductase that can protect cells from oxidants, electrophiles (chemicals that can dam-age DNA), inflammation and radiation). It is more potent at inducing Phase II Enzymes than Alpha Lipoic Acid at 1/10th the amount!(1) It functions differently, however, than traditional antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, & E that neutralize one free radi-cal at a time and are then used up. Sulforaphane boosts Phase II Enzyme activity which stimulates continuous long-lasting anti-oxidant reactions in the body even after the sulforaphane is no longer present (up to 72 hours later) and is therefore considered an indirect antioxidant. Sulforaphane boosts detoxifying and protective reactions in the skin, promotes cellular integrity and has even been shown to repair DNA damage from things like ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species), chemicals, viruses and radiation. It has anti-inflammatoryproperties, supports the immune system and has anti aging benefits.It has also been shown as a chemoprotective agent and clinically studied as a preventative for numerous other types of cancer including: Prostate, Breast, Skin, Colon, Lung, Esophagus, Liver, Small Intestine and Bladder. There have been over 1,400 peer reviewed studies published on Sulforaphane since 1992 and recently it has garnered some attention for it’s ability to repair and protect the skin against damage done by UV radiation. Sulforaphane can come from a variety of cruciferous vegetables including kale, brussel sprouts and cabbage but is found in high levels in broccoli and broccoli sprouts. It is formed when Glucoraphanin(4) is in the presence of an enzyme called myrosi-nase. Myrosinase is naturally occurring in cruciferous vegetables but it is stored independently and does not come into contact with Glucoraphanin until the plant is injured, by chewing for example. Myrosinase removes the glucose part of the molecule cre-ating the isothiocyanate, sulforaphane.
The Sulforaphane “Difference” that makes the difference:
The Sulforaphane used in Newco products is very special and different for three very important reasons: Derived from Broccoli Seed – first and foremost this is the first time in the world that sulforaphane has been derived from Broccoli Seed and stabilized in a liquid form. |
