The Phytochemical Collection Sulforaphane Phytochemicals For more information and additional photomicrographs, visit our Phytochemicals Gallery of images made with recrystallized plant biochemicals. Extracts from these foods have yielded several classes of chemicals that appear to have anti-cancer activity when tested both in vivo and in vitro .
Vegetables are rich in certain classes of phytochemicals.
Broccoli contains Sulforaphane, a small molecule that expedites the excretion of carcinogens from cells. Hot chili peppers, already known to be a rich source for the antioxidant vitamin C, also contain high concentrations of a the phytochemical capsiacin. The photomicrograph in our banner is Sulforaphane, one of the best studied phytochemicals. We are very interested in expanding our phytochemical collection but are having a hard time finding samples. We will be happy to exchange original photomicrographs of phytochemicals for the short-term use of samples.
