Sulforaphane works by prompting the body to produce its own antioxidant. This happens both in the liver and at a cellular level. In fact, no known natural compound has been shown to have such a powerful effect on antioxidant levels. As such, Sulforaphane is an in-direct antioxidant, that is it in-directly stimulates the body to produce its own antioxidants. We have amplified FourHealth Green and added the trace mineral Selenium, a direct antioxidant. In our current climate it is essential that we take better care of our immune systems. One of the best ways we can do this is by ensuring the body is well prepared for immune threats - and antioxidants, Selenium being one of the main ones, plays a key role.
I guess that’s like saying, “who should eat broccoli and will it help me?”… and I think we all know the answer to that question right? So the appropriate answer here is EVERYONE! Whether you’re young or older, male or female, fit and healthy and wanting to ensure you stay that way, or if you’re a little worse for wear and want to try to get back into shape, FourHealth Green+ will help you achieve your goals.
We all know that eating vegetables is a healthy choice and that they provide profound benefits to the body. Unfortunately, numerous studies indicate that only one in ten of us actually achieves the recommended daily intake of approximately 800 grams a day of a mixture of fruit and vegetables. FourHealth Green+ is made from 3-day-old broccoli sprouts which help your body produce its own natural antioxidants which protect you from all sorts of things like stress, poor diet, alcohol, UV radiation, smoke and air pollutants and enhance your overall immunity.
Well yes you can, and broccoli is still great for you but the Sulforaphane content in broccoli sprouts is on average 50-100 times greater than found in mature broccoli. Plus, once you’ve cooked your broccoli you’ll find that much of the goodness has disappeared into thin air. Remember FourHealth Green+ sprouts are also organic so no nasty chemicals within coo-eee!
While you're correct that Selenium can be obtained through diet (specifically one rich with plants), the Selenium content of plants generally depends more on the amount of Selenium in the soil than the species of plant. As there is practically no amount of Selenium in the soil in New Zealand - almost everyone is deficient in it.
Well the first thing to note is that nothing can replace a healthy, nutritious diet. But are you getting enough of the healthy part? Vitamins or minerals can help supplement what you are lacking when your choices may not always be exactly perfect!
Well this part is super easy. Just pop 2 capsules per day – you can choose whether to take both in the morning, both in the evening or 1 morning and night. What we do suggest is that you take them 30 minutes before food or an hour and a half after food so that they can be absorbed readily. Oh and did we say….REMEMBER TO TAKE THEM EVERY DAY!
To ensure you're maximising the benefits of FourHealth Green+, we recommend you take it every day. In fact, research shows that there may be even more benefit in spreading the dose over the day i.e. taking 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill in the evening! However, we know remembering to take any pills on a regular basis can be a challenge! We find it helps to keep a bottle close at hand, in the kitchen or bathroom, so it's front of mind and if you do forget, it's best not to stress about it and take your daily dose as recommended.
It’s hard to say exactly as everyone is different. We have some customers report that they notice a difference after only a few days, whilst others say it takes a good 12 weeks to notice the benefits. Sometimes there’s an ‘aha’ moment when they notice that actually they haven’t had a headache in weeks or their knee feels way better after a run. What most say is that their energy and alertness is drastically improved. Remember that these work from the inside out so even if you notice no physical difference, know they are working their magic from within.
Always play it safe and ask your health professional for advice. Although you’re basically consuming a vegetable, and there should be no side effects whatsoever, some people do find they can get an upset tummy or have a bit more gas, so best to check.
