Green cauliflower sprouts are antioxidant and help the skin resist UV damage.
"Broccoli sprouts" antioxidant power can help skin resist UV damage - Greenvines
Besides being eaten, broccoli sprouts can also be used on the skin! (Recommended reading: Why should we eat more broccoli? Understanding the benefits of sulforaphane for the body)
These tiny sprouts, though small, can not only generate tremendous power within our bodies, but the essence extracted from them can also act on the surface of the skin, helping our skin cells resist environmental damage.
For more than a decade, scholars have continued to study how broccoli sprout extract can help skin resist environmental damage
In 1992, the research team at the internationally renowned academic institution Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine discovered that the antioxidant capacity of sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts can help fight cancer. This research was selected by the authoritative magazine "Popular Mechanics" as one of the top 100 discoveries of the 20th century. After the publication of that research, many research institutions also began to invest in exploring exactly how the sulforaphane rich in broccoli sprouts helps the human body. From the research results, it was found that sulforaphane can help our skin defend against cell damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
In 2007, the pharmacology team at Johns Hopkins University in the United States published research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) stating that applying broccoli sprout extract to the skin of volunteer test subjects showed that high-dose trial results could reduce on average by 37% the redness of skin caused by UV exposure. Skin redness represents a sign of damaged and inflamed skin cells. Compared with commercially available sunscreen products that protect the skin by absorbing UV energy, broccoli sprouts resist UV damage from "inside the cells" by stimulating the body to produce enzymes that enhance cellular defense. The researchers also observed that the skin-protecting effect of broccoli sprouts is long-lasting; even if no new broccoli sprout extract is given to the skin, the effect can still last for several days.
The results from Johns Hopkins University encouraged other teams to continue studying the benefits of broccoli sprouts for the skin. The pharmacology team at the University of Arizona in the United States began actively investing in related research in 2005, and in 2013 "Medical Today" (Medical Today) reported the team's findings on broccoli sprouts against UV damage. Compared with the Johns Hopkins University team's trial method of simulating UVB light energy, the University of Arizona team further simulated the ultraviolet composition of natural light to investigate the effect of broccoli sprout extract on human skin.
Starting today, let broccoli sprouts care for your life comprehensively, from the inside and the outside
Although the sprouts look tiny, they contain abundant enzymes and energy.
Greenvines very much looks forward to seeing more future research results that help us understand how the broccoli sprouts we personally irrigate and grow strong one by one can further help make our lives better. Broccoli sprouts are rich in sulforaphane, and consuming them as food is already known to offer benefits including antioxidant effects and inhibiting the formation of cancer cells. However, for the hair and skin at the ends of the body's nutrient transport system, being able to use the abundant nutrients of broccoli sprouts through topical application and transdermal absorption is even more exciting good news. From fresh sprouts to extracted applications, whether eaten or used, we wholeheartedly hope that every portion of broccoli sprout essence delivered to consumers can provide everyone with the best care, from the inside and the outside.
1+1 is greater than 2; broccoli sprouts are best eaten together with broccoli
