The Avmacol® Story

For more than a decade, researchers at Nutramax Laboratories have been investigating the phytochemical sulforaphane. Since we started, findings from across the health sciences began to confirm what our own work had suggested: for researchers committed to making true health accessible in the modern world, the potential benefits of sulforaphane were too great to ignore.

Our lives today present our bodies with a wide array of new toxins and stressors. The food we eat, the air we breathe, and the environments we live and work in all put stress on our cells and immune systems. Sulforaphane, which broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous veggies help the body produce naturally, helps our cells fight off those threats, giving our natural immune and detoxification systems the support they need to thrive.

The Avmacol® brand has been selected for use in more sulforaphane human clinical trials than any other supplement1 and Avmacol® Extra Strength harnesses the synergistic properties of maitake mushroom extract to heighten the support for your cells. If you’re looking for a convenient, safe way to support your body through the challenges of modern life, you’re looking for Avmacol®. Unleash the power of broccoli with Avmacol.

Backed by Research

At Nutramax Laboratories we hold ourselves to the very highest standards of research—both in supporting peer-reviewed studies across disciplines and in replicating findings in our own work. Our rigorous approach is driven by a desire to provide families with supplements they can truly trust. Both in quality of ingredients and research, our laboratory practices set the standard for our industry.

The Avmacol® brand has been selected for use in more sulforaphane human clinical trials than any other supplement1, because we're committed to driving research forward and we hold our products to the highest standard.

The Avmacol® Community

For families today, living healthy, balanced lives in harmony with our body’s natural processes is more complicated than ever. Our mission is to provide opportunities that make it easier to relieve stress on families all the way down to the cellular level.

The Avmacol® Difference

As the leading supplement in clinical research around sulforaphane, Avmacol® is backed by evidence you can trust. And our Sulforaphane Production System® guarantees the presence of myrosinase, an important precursor enzyme for your immune system.

Sulforaphane can only be produced in the body with the antioxidant glucoraphanin and the enzyme myrosinase. Our patented Sulforaphane Production System® was designed to deliver these necessary building blocks with every serving.

The Sulforaphane Production System® was developed by our scientists at Nutramax Laboratories with the help of a leading sulforaphane researcher with two decades of experience examining this vital phytochemical.

How Avmacol® Extra Strength Work?

OurSulforaphane Production System®supplies broccoli seed extract (glucoraphanin) and Myrosimax® (Active Myrosinase Enzyme) which helps promote sulforaphane production in your body. As depicted in the diagram below, when sulforaphane enters your cells it allows for a master regulator, known as NRF2, to enter the nucleus and bind to DNA. This helps increase the production of important Phase 2 detoxifying enzymes, promoting your body’s natural detoxification process, thereby supporting the elimination of potentially harmful metabolites.*

The Importance of Active Myrosinase Enzyme

The conversion of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane can be expressed in this simple equation:

Active myrosinase enzyme is essential for the conversion of glucoraphan into sulforaphane. Without this enzyme, it may not be possible to reap sulforaphane's many health-promoting benefits, which is why you’ll always find Myrosimax® (Active myrosinase Enzyme) in the Avmacol® brand family.Even though it is true that both glucoraphanin and the myrosinase enzyme can be found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower, there may not be enough of either compound to allow for adequate sulforaphane production. This can be due to seed quality, soil composition, and many other factors. Additionally, the myrosinase enzyme can be destroyed during the cooking process. So while both glucoraphanin and the myrosinase enzyme can be found in the vegetables you eat, the ones you buy from the market are not reliable sources of either compound.The Avmacol® brand contains both glucoraphanin and Myrosimax® (Active Myrosinase Enzyme), the essential ingredients needed to promote sulforaphane production.*

What are the Benefits of Sulforaphane?

Sulforaphane offers numerous health-promoting benefits, which are likely due to its positive effect on multiple cellular pathways:

Supports Cellular Detoxification

Sulforaphane has been shown to increase Nrf2 which regulates the expression of a variety of Phase II antioxidant and detoxification enzymes

Heat Shock Response

Sulforaphane increases the Heat Shock Response which facilitates and maintains proper folding of proteins during times of cellular stress.

NF-kB

Sulforaphane has been shown to decrease NF-kB, which regulates the expression of certain proteins involved in the inflammatory response.
