Works synergistically with Immunocal – potent anti-cancer combination!
The difference lies in our proprietary patented process to preserve the bioactive compounds (i.e. enzyme active). Studies have shown the importance of enzyme (active) Myrosinase, to convert Glucoraphanin to Sulforaphane. Bioavailability of sulforaphane is dramatically lower when the enzyme Myrosinase is not active.
Therefore, you should be wary of other products marketed as containing broccoli sprout, broccoli sprout extract, or seed extract which claim to contain sulforaphane glucosinolate. These could in fact only contain the precursor glucoraphanin and none of the essential bio-active myrosinase enzyme.
How can you be sure it’s safe for you and your loved ones?
It is fully grown in Australia, in a specialised, controlled environment FREE from any pesticides or other harmful chemicals. We do not add any additives, filler, preservatives, flavouring, colour, etc. ActiCell is a 100% pure whole food powder, nothing else added!
Serving size: 2 grams or approximately 1 teaspoon.
Serving suggestion: Mix into water, other beverage or sprinkled on food (room temperature or cold only), once or twice daily. To ensure bioactivity, consume within 30 minutes of mixing.
Ingredients: (ActiCell) enzyme active broccoli sprout powder.
Storage: Store below 30C away from light and moisture. Best to keep refrigerated after opening.
