What is NutriSGS ® activated?
Activated NutriSGS ® is a dietary supplement containing the patented ingredient Sulforaphan Smart®. It is obtained by a novel extraction method that takes advantage, to extract the compounds of interest from broccoli, the parts that the food industry does not use in food processing (more than 35% of its weight), obtaining a very effective and high quality ingredient
.
It is standardized in glucoraphanin, incorporating the myrosinase enzyme from broccoli itself in a bilayer structure, which separates and protects the ingredients inside the capsule. When consumed, it allows an optimal transformation of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane, the sulfur compound in broccoli with beneficial activity for our health. In addition, the capsule is gastro-resistant
.
Activated NutriSGS ® is also enriched with vitamin C, selenium and zinc in their most bioavailable forms, which contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells against oxidative damage.
What is Sulforaphane?
In 1992, Dr. Talalay and his team at Johns Hopkins University, in the USA, were able to isolate and identify sulforaphane glucosinolate, a compound found naturally in broccoli and to a lesser extent in other crucifers.
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck) is a plant of the Brassicaceae family, commonly referred to as crucifers. This family of plants contains sulfur compounds called glucosinolates, which can be converted, thanks to an enzyme known as myrosinase, into other substances called isothiocyanates and indoles. The myrosinase enzyme is released from broccoli itself when it is crushed or chewed, since it needs moisture to be activated, but also through
the action of the intestinal microbiota.
Double encapsulation that ensures the transformation and bioavailability of sulforaphane
The ingredient containing activated NutriSGS ®, Sulforaphan Smart ®, is formulated in a bilayer structure, with the glucosinolate-rich extract, mainly glucoraphanin, in the core and the myrosinase extract (MYR) in the outer layer. The established encapsulation conditions allow the capsule to reach the intestine practically intact and to disintegrate once there. The dual core maximizes the bond between enzyme and reagent (GRP) because it keeps both components close together, reducing their diffusion through the intestine and therefore increasing the transformation ratio in the intestine, where absorption occurs
.
Several clinical studies indicate that, of the amount of sulforaphane that we could generate by eating broccoli, usually less than 1% ends up being generated where it should be absorbed. With this ingredient, we achieve that the generation of sulforaphane is independent of the state of the individuals microbiota, and it releases it into the intestine, being at least 2,000 times more potent than the same amount of broccoli. In other words, 1 gram of the Sulforaphan-Smart product is equivalent to the intake of between 2 and 5 kg of
broccoli.
High absorption and bioavailability
The bioavailability of sulforaphane after its passage through the digestive tract is of paramount importance when considering its benefits. If we had an extract rich in unencapsulated glucoraphanin and with free myrosinase, the level of transformation into sulforaphane would be minimal (around 5%) due to the free diffusion of both compounds and which would begin during the gastric phase. In the case of Sulforaphan Smart ®, diffusion begins once in the intestine and due to the bilayer in such a slow proportion that it allows its enzymatic transformation. This demonstrates the importance of dual encapsulation.
According to bioavailability data, the conversion rate of glucoraphanin to active sulforaphane in the ingredient Sulforaphan Smart® is 35%.
What is special about NutriSGS ® activated?
- With Sulforaphan Smart ®, the only ingredient on the market that recovers compounds of interest in broccoli from the use of agri-food by-products.
- It contains the myrosinase enzyme found in broccoli itself.
- Double encapsulation in a bilayer structure, which ensures transformation to active sulforaphane and improves stability, promoting its release into the intestinal environment.
- High conversion rate to active sulforaphane.
- With gastro-resistant capsule.
- With vitamin C, selenium and zinc in their most bioavailable organic forms:
- PureWay-C ®: formula with high bioavailability of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) associated with lipid metabolites and citrus flavonoids.
- SelenoExcell ®: extract that contains a unique profile of organic forms of selenium, obtained by fermentation from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast.
- L-OptiZinc ®: combination of zinc and L-methionine. They are better absorbed and plasma levels remain higher compared to other forms of zinc.
How can activated NutriSGS® help us?
- Broccoli is a very healthy food and its regular consumption is highly recommended, but when you want to eat a certain amount of sulforaphane, it is a good idea to incorporate a high-quality food supplement, which incorporates SGS.
- Vitamin C, selenium and zinc contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the protection of cells against oxidative damage.
