Broccoli is a massively understated superfood! 🥦
Disclaimer - Broccoli can cause bloating and gas, always feed a small amount and observe for a few days before including something new in your pet's diet.
That out of the way. Broccoli is packed with nutrition and contains a really high concentration of an amazing compound called Sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane prevents the buildup of something called Advanced Glycation End Products (or AGE's).
AGE's are formed when sugars (glucose, Fructose etc) combine with unwinding proteins in the bloodstream. They form naturally as a part of metabolic processes, and naturally there are biological methods of dealing with them. The problems start when they are consumed in excess. They will form when our Pet's pellets or Nuggets are manufactured, they'll form when their treats are processed, and when they consume things that have a moderate level of natural sugars and protein.
When their little bodies can't excrete them faster than they form or are consumed, they AGE's bind with Organ tissues, causing them to age faster than the tissues surrounding them. This leads to Tumours, Cancers, Kidney disease, Cardiovascular issues and much more.
If your Pet can tolerate it, just a small amount of Broccoli included in their Diet can provide a big pushback against the buildup of these compounds as well as providing a range of Vitamins, Minerals and Antioxidants!
Combine with a small amount of Parsley stalks to combat the risk of Gas and Bloating!
