Dual-Action Cruciferous Vegetable Extract With Resveratrol & Cat's Claw
60 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number: 00969

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts) are a rich source of glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products, including indolesand isothiocyanates. Scientists discovered specific extracts from cruciferous vegetables can modulate female hormones in a way to help maintain healthy cell division and gene expression. Dual-Action Cruciferous Vegetable Extract with Cat’s Claw combines these plant extracts in one convenient, cost-effective formula.

I3C (indole-3-carbinol) and DIM (di-indolyl-methane) favorably modulate estrogen metabolism and induce liver detoxification enzymes to help neutralize potentially harmful estrogen metabolites and xenoestrogens (poten-tially toxic, estrogen-like environmental chemicals).100-103

Extracts of broccoli, watercress, and rosemary provide standardized concentrations of glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, carnosic acid, and carnosol — bioactive compounds with favorable effects on estrogen metabolism and cell division.104-107
