Cell logic - Enduracell Broccoli Sprout Powder 80g

Direct-acting antioxidants

When mega-doses of direct-acting antioxidants are consumed, the cell may become saturated, masking the pro-oxidant signals the cell needs to defend itself via Nrf2. Unless there is deficiency, vitamin C and any other direct-acting antioxidant supplements like A, E, beta-carotene & NAC, will inhibit the cell’s ability to upregulate its own antioxidant, detoxification and other cytoprotective genes. If needed at all, antioxidant supplements should be reduced to quantities no greater than RDI levels found in a plant rich diet.

Cancer and treatments

Chemotherapy and Radiation: Because cancer cells ‘hijack’ the cell’s defence mechanisms, it is unknown whether SFN, GliSODin or other protective plant molecules in normal cells might also increase a cancer cell’s ability to protect itself. It is therefore advisable to avoid prescribing SFN, GliSODin and other concentrated plant extracts in those diagnosed with cancer – or undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Anti-coagulant medications

The RDI for Vitamin K1 is 700 mcg. A mature broccoli vegetable contains 85 mcg of Vit K1. The Vitamin K1 content of broccoli sprouts is low in comparison, with one 700 mg capsule of EnduraCell® BioActive containing approximately 7 mcg of Vitamin K1. While Vitamin K2 appears not to interfere with coagulation, it is recommended that the patient’s clinician be consulted to prescription of GFC.

Goitrogens and thyroid function

Broccoli sprouts do not contain any significant goitrogens as found in the mature broccoli vegetable, so there are no contraindications to prescribing Cell-Logic’s broccoli sprout formulae in thyroid conditions.
