Nrf2 is a critical transcription factor that regulates the expression of over 1000 genes.

“Nrf2 regulates the expression of cytoprotective proteins that protect against oxidative stress due to injury and inflammation. Sulforaphane is the most potent naturally occurring inducer of Nrf2.”

“One of these pathways, the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE pathway (see glossary definition of Nrf2), is a key mediator of cytoprotective responses to oxidative and electrophilic stress, and sulforaphane is a key player in its activation.”

“There is so much to say when we talk about the NRF2 pathway and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane that we had to pack it into 47 minutes and break it into a few key sections. Key sections: For a more in-depth breakdown click the timeline link at the top of this page!”

“In a small seven-day human pilot study, sulforaphane increased blood glutathione and produced consistent increases in magnetic-resonance measures of glutathione across several brain regions. Sulforaphane activates NRF2-regulated cytoprotective pathways rather than working only as a direct antioxidant.”

“Berberine also activates p38, an enzyme that participates in the body's stress response. The co-activation of AMPK and p38 switches on the activity of Nrf2, a cellular protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant and stress response proteins.”

“Crushing or chewing brings glucoraphanin together with the enzyme myrosinase and produces sulforaphane. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's presentation at the Vibrant Wellness Longevity Summit, she explains how sulforaphane activates NRF2-regulated cellular defense pathways.”

“Dr. Patrick states that she has no affiliation with the named supplement company. Sulforaphane activates NRF2-regulated cellular stress-response pathways. Its precursor, glucoraphanin, depends on myrosinase for conversion, so formulation can strongly affect exposure.”
