All sprouts are loaded with nutrients and are a great way to add fresh, live nutrition to one’s diet. Much attention has been given to broccoli, and in particular, broccoli sprouts over the past few years due to extensive research carried on by scientists at universities such as London, Tokyo, UCLA and John Hopkins, to name a few.

It turns out that broccoli sprouts contain a lot of sulfurophane glucosinolate (SGS) and antioxidants. This phytonutrient has been proven to be effective for cancer, macular degeneration, even aging (!) and other conditions (see science). Studies show that 3 – 4 day old broccoli sprouts contain 20 to 100 times the amount of sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) found in mature broccoli heads.

Broccoli sprout juice is completely new and has been developed by VEGUS in order to provide a means for people to obtain 3-4 day old sprouted broccoli in a live, enymatically active and potent format --- which up until now, has been difficult to obtain (see choices).

In past studies, compounds in broccoli sprouts have been shown to reduce the risk of getting breast and colon cancer and to act as an anti-bacterial agent against Helicobacter pylori, an organism associated with causing stomach ulcers. As reported in the May 10, 2004 edition of Time, a new study indicates that eating broccoli sprouts may cut the risk of stroke, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

Without a doubt, consuming broccoli sprouts is a good choice for anyone wanting to add power foods to their diet.
