Indole 3 Carbinol

This nutrient from cruciferous veggies (like broccoli) supports immune health and protects hormone balance. It also helps with detoxification.

Benefits:

Compounds in cruciferous vegetables that may protect cells from oxidative damage are called indoles. Among them are I3C and its metabolites. These compounds work by binding to or activating certain receptors in the body to protect cells. I3C may be helpful in the metabolism of estrogens, protecting breast tissue and reproductive organs from cell damage. It also appears to act as an antioxidant, helping the body to cope with the oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

Ingredients:

Broccoli flowers, indole-3-carbinol and broccoli sprouts.

 

The importance of the Brassica family of foods to our diet cannot be overstated. To begin with, cruciferous vegetables contain lots of:

• Soluble and insoluble fiber.
• Vitamin C.
• Vitamin B9 (folate).
• Potassium.
• Selenium.
• Phytochemicals.

They are also rich sources of compounds known as glucosinolates, which may help to fight cancer. (These sulfur-containing compounds were likely the cause of the patient’s headaches.)

A number of research studies suggest that a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables may lower rates of a variety of cancers, including breast, pancreatic, bladder, lung, prostate and colon cancer.

Certain enzymes in cruciferous veggies may help protect cell DNA from damage, and others may have antioxidant properties. Crucifers may also help to counteract cancer-causing nitrosamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that are found in charred, cured or barbecued fish or meats.

Some researchers have suggested that sulforaphane may play a major role in preventing prostate and colon cancer. Sulforaphane are found in high levels in:

• Broccoli.
• Broccoli sprouts (sold next to the alfalfa sprouts).
• Bok choy.
• Brussels sprouts.

So increase your dietary intake of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables.

Recommended Use:

Take 2 capsules daily with a meal.
