HEALTH BENEFITS

With lifestyle diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes on the rise in modern society, it is great to hear that there are natural products that could help boost the body’s defence against these chronic diseases. 

Powr Nutrients Freeze-dried + Blended Daikon Radish Seeds are packed with goodness. They have been tested to yield a high source of the plant compound glucoraphenin. When the seeds are eaten, the plant compound will break down and release sulforaphene. This is a powerful bioactive molecule. It can turn on our bodies’ powerful defence mechanisms by activating the biochemical protein in our body called Nrf2. This helps to regulate other antioxidant proteins against free radicals, preventing oxidative damage, and protecting cells, tissues and organs from more damage. When Nrf2 switches on, it can also lower inflammation. Sulforaphene has been shown to help the body clean up toxins from our cells which accumulate from the world around us. This could be anything from pollution and smoke to carcinogens and pesticides.  

REDUCE TOXICITY

Sulforaphene can help to reduce toxins in the body. Toxins can come from pesticides, pollution, second-hand smoke or even carcinogens. By reducing cellular toxicity, sulforaphene can assist in overall health, by improving symptoms such as brain fog, cellulite, weight gain, fatigue and a sluggish bowel.

LOWER INFLAMMATION

The activation of Nrf2 can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Reducing inflammation has a positive effect on many bodily functions. It can help to support healthy joints, a strong heart, good brain function, gut health and improve the immune system.

OTHER BENEFITS

  • For weight management: as sulforaphene can assist the body in reducing toxicity, it helps reduce the need for fatty (adipose) tissue, making it easier to keep excess weight down.
