A SUPERFOOD POWERHOUSE FOR YOUR DNA

Daikon radish seeds offer a potent, natural source of sulforaphene with clinically relevant bioavailability.

These 100% pure, freeze-dried seeds are produced using advanced preservation technology to retain maximum levels of bioactive compounds. Sulforaphene, a powerful isothiocyanate, is released upon ingestion and supports detoxification, antioxidant activity, and cellular health. With a mild, nutty flavour, the seeds are easily incorporated into patient diets to support nutritional protocols and therapeutic outcomes.

A BIOACTIVE BREAKTHROUGH IN CELLULAR DETOXIFICATION

Emerging research highlights sulforaphene as a powerful inducer of the body's intrinsic defence systems. This bioactive compound activates key phase II detoxification enzymes, supporting cellular detoxification and reducing inflammation at a systemic level.

Daikon radish seeds are a rich source of glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphene. Upon ingestion, glucoraphanin is converted into sulforaphene, initiating beneficial detoxification pathways across multiple organ systems. As a healthcare practitioner, incorporating this clinically relevant compound into nutritional protocols may offer targeted support for patients dealing with oxidative stress, toxin exposure or inflammatory conditions.

THE CLINICAL POTENTIAL OF
SULFORAPHENE

Sulforaphene is a potent activator of the Nrf2 pathway, an essential regulator of the body's antioxidant and detoxification response. By upregulating Nrf2, sulforaphene stimulates the expression of cytoprotective enzymes, enhancing the body's ability to neutralise reactive oxygen species and facilitate cellular detoxification. This targeted mechanism supports systemic resilience and may offer therapeutic value in managing inflammation and oxidative stress-related conditions.

SULFORAPHENE VS SULFORAPHANE

Sulforaphene (from radish) and sulforaphane (from broccoli) are structurally similar isothiocyanates, both known for their powerful health benefits. However, sulforaphene offers a key advantage: it’s readily activated without the need for additional myrosinase enzymes. Powr Nutrients' freeze-dried daikon radish seed blend preserves high bioactive potency, delivering 8.6mg of sulforaphene in just 0.6g (¼ tsp), as verified by Laboratoires Agrobio. A natural, efficient way to support detoxification and cellular protection.

FREEZE-DRYING: PRESERVING RADISH SEEDS

Nature

FREEZE-DRIED DAIKON RADISH SEEDS

For any natural product, preservation can be tricky. The goal is to keep the product as natural as possible, retain the nutritional value, but still increase the shelf-life to allow for distribution and reduced waste. Freeze-drying does just that. The process doesn’t use heat, which means there is less damage to the nutrients, whilst making it possible to extend the shelf-life without the need for any additives.

A FREEZE-DRIED HISTORY

Freeze-drying is by no means a new method of preservation. In the 13th century, the Incas in South America were freeze-drying potatoes (known as chuño). The 5-day process involved exposing the potatoes to extreme cold at night and then squeezing out the moisture and drying the potatoes out in the sun during the day.

After the 1890s, the process became more modernised and by the 1930s freeze-drying systems were patented, but not yet used on a wide scale for food. In World War 2, freeze-drying was developed for commercial use in order to preserve blood plasma and penicillin so that it could be transported to wounded soldiers. Then, finally in the 1950s freeze-drying technology improved to such a degree that it could be used food preservation.

FREEZE-DRYING AT POWR NUTRIENTS

Luckily for us, you no longer need five days to freeze-dry, just 22 hours. We use a specialised machine and a process known as sublimation where vacuum freezing carefully removes any moisture from our seeds. This method doesn’t change the biological, chemical or physical make up of the seeds. Compared to dehydration, this means there is less damage to the product, retaining the subtle, nutty flavour, as well as up to 97 % of the nutritional value. Powr Nutrients Freeze-dried + Blended Daikon Radish Seeds have been independently tested to yield the highest amount of the bioactive molecule, sulforaphene – enough to benefit your cells.
