Every day, scientists
continue to discover new phytochemicals in
foods and how they work to protect us. Meanwhile, we are continually
bombarded by toxic chemicals that are potentially playing a role in
cancer development.
OncoSGS™contains a specially cultivated form of
broccoli seed
known as BroccoRaphanin™. This proprietary and patented variety
of
broccoli, Brassica Oleracea italica, is particularly rich in
glucoraphanin
(better known as sulforaphane glucosinolate or SGS). SGS is the
direct precursor to sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is part of a family of
compounds collectively known as isothiocyanates. Sulforaphane was
isolated and identified in 1992 by researchers at the Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine.
There are currently over 500 journal publications, as well as
documented epidemiological evidence, showing that diets rich in
broccoli and broccoli sprouts are
chemoprotective andmay reduce
the risk of many forms of cancer. Scientists also believe that SGS may
boost the body’s own antioxidant defense system, including the
upregulation of phase 2 detoxification enzymes. For this reason, SGS
is often referred to as an “indirect antioxidant”. The phase 2 enzymes
that are induced demonstrate broad-spectrum antioxidant ability,
which may remain active in the body for as long as 96 hours. SGS is
also particularly useful in the fact that it upregulates phase 2
enzymes
without upregulating the potentially pro-carcinogen-producing
phase 1 enzymes.
