Broccoli Sprouts Powder

Each serve of Broccoli Sprout Powder provides 22% of your daily requirement of Vitamin C. As it cannot be made by the body naturally, Vitamin C needs to be consumed daily to gain the health benefits and prevent deficiency.

When consumed as part of a healthy, balanced diet, benefits of Vitamin C include:

• Healthy immune function which helps our body fight infection.
• Increased absorption of iron, which is particularly beneficial in a vegetarian or vegan diet.
• Promotes collagen formation for healthy skin and provides structure to our teeth, bones, and gums.
• Helps reduce fatigue and supports psychological function.

NOTE: Broccoli sprouts powder can be easily paired with sources of plant-based iron by sprinkling it on lentil-based soups and stews or blended with fresh spinach in a smoothie.

Vitamin K is primarily a plant-based nutrient found in green leafy vegetables like kale [7], broccoli, brussels sprouts, and salad greens. Broccoli Sprouts Powder is a rich source of vitamin K, containing 153% of an adult’s daily needs, per serve!

When consumed as part of a healthy, balanced diet vitamin K:

• Assists with normal blood coagulation.
• Contributes to bone strength like calcium and vitamin D

Note: As vitamin K is fat-soluble, absorption is improved when consumed with a source of fat. One study showed that when butter was added to spinach, absorption of vitamin K was increased up to 3 times. Broccoli Sprouts Powder can be paired with healthy fats such as nuts in a smoothie, or with a drizzle of olive oil over a salad to increase the absorption of vitamin K. [8]

Folate is an essential B vitamin found in dark leafy green vegetables like spinach, broccoli and brussels sprouts. Broccoli Sprouts Powder provides 38% recommended dietary intake in each 15g serve. [9] 

When consumed as part of a healthy, balanced diet, folate plays a critical role in many important body functions including:

• Essential for normal cell division and supporting healthy growth and development in children. 
• Contributes to a reduction tiredness and fatigue.

Phytonutrients are powerful antioxidants that contribute to the colour, flavour and aroma of our plant food and play a key role in optimising human health, which is why the World Health Organization recommends 5 serves of vegetables each day. [10]

With 1 serve of veggies in every 15g dose, Broccoli Sprouts Powder is a convenient way to increase your daily intake.

Polyphenols [11] are one of the key types of phytonutrients and are present in Broccoli Sprouts Powder. Research highlights the antioxidant [12] and anti-inflammatory benefits [13] associated with a polyphenol rich diet.

Evidence suggests that the benefits of polyphenols is subject to their bioavailability and that they are safest when consumed in a whole food versus when isolated in a supplement. [14] Broccoli Sprouts Powder carries the benefit of being made from our whole broccoli sprouts.  

Glucoraphanin is a phytonutrient and the precursor for sulforaphane. Conversion of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane takes place in the gut enabling various health benefits. [15] Glucoraphanin is also responsible for the strong smell and taste of Broccoli Sprouts Powder.
