“A 2017 study suggests that sulforaphane may be beneficial in treating the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate compound derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and mustard.”

“I usually try to sprinkle mustard seed on my cooked broccoli and other cooked cruciferous vegetables like sauteed kale. Check out our very comprehensive video on sulforaphane and our interview with Dr. Jed Fahey for more information on the benefits of sulforaphane.”

“The trial enrolled 66 healthy Japanese adults and randomly assigned them to take either the extract (100 mg sulforaphane glucosinolate per day) or a placebo powder for eight weeks.”

“More evidence that sulforaphane (high in broccoli sprouts) may have positive effects on the brain. A pilot trial finds sulforaphane treatment increased glutathione levels (the body and brain's most abundant antioxidant) in the blood and hippocampus region of the brain in healthy people.”

“This is pretty clever because they modified the e.coli to bind to cancer cells. One issue w/ broccoli extract is that the conversion to sulforaphane in vivo depends on gut bacteria, usually resulting in different bioavailability from person to person.”

“A recent roundworm study found that sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli, extended lifespan by more than 50%, but only when taken early in life. Scientists administered varying doses of sulforaphane to roundworms (a robust aging model) throughout different stages of their lives.”

“It's almost like they got half the lead exposure, if the dose-response was linear. Similarly, actual memory function was dramatically improved (measured by maze task) relative to non-sulforaphane group... but still lagged control by a little bit.”

“Sulforaphane is high in cruciferous vegetables such as kale and broccoli, etc.”

“Sulforaphane also decreased stress hormones and the inflammatory response, indicating that the neuroprotective effects on depression and anxiety may be associated with lower inflammation and stress hormones.”

“In the absence of myrosinase, some people's gut microbes produce similar enzymes, helping convert more glucoraphanin into sulforaphane. This variation in gut bacteria may explain why some people respond more strongly to sulforaphane-rich foods or supplements.”
