Did you know that cole crops help digestion?
Many people are familiar with the term "cruciferous vegetables" and can even identify a vegetable like broccoli as belonging to this group. But because research on cruciferous vegetables has skyrocketed over the past three to seven years, many people are not familiar with the latest science on this age-old group of vegetables.
The name "cruciferous vegetables" is itself undergoing change! This group of vegetables was originally named for the four equal-sized petals in its flowers that could be viewed as forming a cross-like or crucifix shape. But many scientists are starting to favor the term "brassica vegetables" over "cruciferous vegetables" and the traditional name of this plant family in Latin, Cruciferae, is now being largely replaced by the Latin name Brassicaceae. (In Latin, the word "brassica" simply translates as "cabbage," and cabbage is definitely a featured member of this vegetable group.)
You'll also hear farmers referring to foods in this vegetable group as "cole crops." The word "cole" (which is easy to spot in the word "coleslaw," a dish usually made from cabbage but also from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli) once again takes us back to the Latin language; it comes from the word "caulis" that refers to the stalks of plants, especially to the stalk of the cabbage plant. (Interestingly, you can find this Latin root not in the cabbages that so commonly represent the broader family of cruciferous vegetables, but in cauliflower, which is another important member of this vegetable group.) Cruciferous vegetables are also sometimes referred to as the mustard family vegetables, since the widely popular mustard greens — and mustard seeds and mustard oils — also belong to this vegetable group.
Cole crops are not only good vegetables to eat during Winter but they can also be a valuable support for "digesting" the "lavish meals" of December. Dr Giorgini Crucifer is a supplement in tablets containing many varieties of cruciferous vegetables (plants belonging to "cole crops"), each of which has specific properties: the cabbage, for example, has an emollient and soothing effect on the digestive system and, in synergy with broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, helps promote detoxification by stimulating the body's natural cleansing processes. Kale and kohlrabi, instead, support the digestive function.

The Italian company has been trading since 1977, starting up as a simple herbalist's shop. Since then, it has earned the trust of tens-of-thousands of regular clients by working hard to deliver a top-notch products.
All food supplements are 100% natural (they do not contain parabens, mineral oils [paraffin oils], synthetic perfumes, and, where possible, preservatives) are produced and manufactured directly by the company in Italy to strict standards and have been notified to the Italian Ministry of Health.
The manufacturing techniques deployed by Dr Giorgini are ancient and groundbreaking at the same time, as they aim at preserving both the natural active ingredients, the core of our health and well-being, and the energy of life, a concept around which the whole company philosophy revolves. This to create a nutritional energy balance to stay healthy and fit, both physically and psychologically.
Starting from a selection of raw materials that, besides the usually required high quality standards, must not be exposed to radiations, and, continuing with the production chain, all those techniques that may reduce or destroy the energy of life still present in plants (e.g.: heat and pressure above the environmental range values, ultrasounds, microwaves, strong acids and bases ...) are accurately avoided. Thanks to this manufacturing technique, the energy of sunlight "fixed" into a plant by photosynthesis is saved and present in all Dr Giorgini products.
Dr Giorgini production unit, 500 m above sea level and out in the open, allows collecting water from rain and dew, to be then used in manufacturing processes, instead of the common deionised water, coming from waterworks and springs.
Besides food supplements, Dr Giorgini line also includes body, hair care, face and sun cosmetics, face and body cleansers, insect repellent and after-bite products, which are formulated using only top-quality ingredients and scented with only natural essential oils and contain no artificial fragrances.
