Every day you are exposed to a barrage of chemicals that are not naturally found in your body. These chemicals can take a toll on your overall health and wellness. Thankfully, your body has a natural detoxification system to help get rid of harmful substances that you are exposed to in the environment, or from household products and even the food you eat. Sulforaphane is a phytochemical that promotes your natural detoxification system. Your detoxification system has 2 phases to process these chemicals we are exposed to each day: First, when these chemicals enter your body, Phase 1 detoxifying enzymes begin to process them into metabolites, which may be potentially harmful. An easy way to imagine these metabolites is as broken pieces of glass with “rough edges.” These “rough edges,” if not processed further, can harm normal cell function by damaging cellular DNA, proteins and lipids. Next, Phase 2 detoxifying enzymes process the potentially harmful metabolites into water-soluble compounds that can be easily excreted from your body. Sulforaphane helps increase the production of important Phase 2 detoxifying enzymes promoting your body’s natural detoxification process, thereby supporting the elimination of potentially harmful metabolites.
