“Moringa produces the isothiocyanate moringin – another potentially beneficial Nrf2-inducing insect antifeedant – which may provide a means to improve the lives and health of people living in underdeveloped countries, at far less cost than many other public health measures.”

“Dubbed the "mustard oil bomb," this reaction is a defense system that protects plants from insect attack – and human consumption. The end product of the reaction is an isothiocyanate compound that activates cytoprotective mechanisms in humans in a hormetic-type response.”

“A major inducer of anticarcinogenic protective enzymes from broccoli: isolation and elucidation of structure. Related Topics and Episodes Jed Fahey, ScD, on Isothiocyanates, the Nrf2 Pathway, Moringa, & Sulforaphane Supplementation.”

“Some concerns have arisen that sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from certain cruciferous vegetables, may disrupt thyroid hormone function and potentially act as a goitrogen by competing with iodine uptake.”

“The myrosinase in daikon radish and mustard seeds are particularly effective at driving the formation of isothiocyanates, however, providing a culinary "hack" that favors isothiocyanate production. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey describes factors that influence isothiocyanate production.”

“Although the reaction begins immediately, full hydrolysis can take several minutes. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey describes the chemical reaction that produces isothiocyanates and the time frame required for full conversion.”

“Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli sprouts and certain cruciferous vegetables, exerts a wide range of beneficial effects in humans. Some of these effects are mediated by increased glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants, to promote brain health.”

“Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound, is the most potent naturally occurring inducer of the body's key detoxification enzymes. While sulforaphane is derived naturally from a variety of cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, kale, and mustard greens, with the highest quantities available from broccoli sprouts, it is also widely available as a dietary supplement.”

“The researchers used a fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FD4) assay to measure the permeability of the gut barrier and found that L. reuteri supplementation reduced the gut leakiness induced by the high-fat diet. The mice that received L.”
