The unique formulation of DefenCELL contains enzyme-active Broccoli Sprouts with a patented strain of French Cantaloupe, produced for its high levels of antioxidant enzymes. These plant ingredients, both with significant Nutrigenomic potential, are combined with selected micronutrients to activate and support the bodys natural cellular detoxification processes, cell-protective and antioxidant defences.

DefenCELL may:

Protect cells against DNA damage

Maintain and support cardiovascular health

Maintain and support natural liver detoxification processes

Reduce cellular oxidative damage

Support cellular antioxidant defences within the body

DefenCell LISTED INDICATIONS:

1. Broccoli sprouts contain glucosinolates which when consumed, yield sulforaphane a potent inducer of cellular defences.

2. DefenCell induces synthesis of high levels of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes with significant nutrigenomic potential

3. DefenCell contains vitamins B1, B2 B3, B6, B12 and folate; low levels of these vitamins are correlated with DNA damage.

MECHANISM OF ACTION:

Sulforaphane, a key bioactive in DefenCell owes its clinical efficacy to its mild pro-oxidant effect on the transcription factor, Nrf2, often described as The Master Switch of Cell Defence. Once activated, Nrf2 translocates to the nucleus where it induces the expression of over 2000 cytoprotective genes, including those coding for glutathione and the Phase 2 detoxification enzymes. Sulforaphane is the most potent natural inducer of Quinone reductase, a key Phase 2 detoxification enzyme.

Adults: Take two capsules twice daily with water.

This product contains selenium which is toxic in high doses. For adults, a daily dose of 150 micrograms of selenium from dietary supplements should not be exceeded.

Very occasionally, gastro-intestinal adverse effects have been reported, and include nausea, gastro-abdominal discomfort and diarrhoea. Limited data available seem to indicate that such effects are limited to certain pre-existing gastro-intestinal conditions, in particular, those with dysbiosis. However, it has been observed that for those affected, the dose can be managed in a manner whereby the symptoms disappear and may not recur even after the consumption of larger doses.
