“Studying centenarians (people who live to the age of 100 years or more) might provide insights into whether sulforaphane confers longevity benefits through its actions on Nrf2. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey describes the current state of the science of understanding how sulforaphane influences longevity.”

“While broccoli sprouts are rich sources of sulforaphane, supplements containing sulforaphane or its precursor, glucoraphanin, are available. Determining optimal doses and sources of sulforaphane presents challenges due to variations in content and individual metabolism.”

“Although human trials are lacking, some animal research suggests that sulforaphane and its byproducts protect against bladder cancer. In this clip, Dr. Fahey describes the metabolic fate of sulforaphane and the current state of research on its effects against bladder cancer.”

“Choosing a supplement that contains both glucoraphanin (the precursor to sulforaphane), as well as myrosinase (the enzyme that converts glucoraphanin to sulforaphane), is crucial to ensuring optimal sulforaphane delivery.”

“Robust clinical evidence has demonstrated that sulforaphane increases the production of mercapturic acid metabolites of benzene and acrolein, known carcinogens present in air pollution and smoke from fires.”

“The 1992 discovery that sulforaphane, a compound produced when the leaves and stems of certain edible plants are damaged, induces innate cytoprotective enzymes put broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables on the nutritional map.”

“A fail-safe mechanism is found in the gut, where commensal bacteria that reside there produce – at varying rates – myrosinase. In this clip, sulforaphane expert Dr. Jed Fahey describes some of the problems that complicate determining the optimal source and dose of sulforaphane.”

“This clip originates from an interview recorded on the Kevin Rose Show, which you can click here to download the full version of. Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound, is the most potent naturally occurring inducer of the body's key detoxification enzymes.”

“Long-term studies in iodine-deficient or hypothyroid animals showed no ill effects with high dose sulforaphane supplementation, however. While iodine deficiency is rare, a person considering sulforaphane supplementation should consult their physician to have their thyroid hormone levels monitored.”

“Sulforaphane is a type of isothiocyanate compound. Isothiocyanates are derived from a wide variety of cruciferous vegetables and moringa, a tropical plant. Very few of these plants contain glucoraphanin, however, the necessary precursor to sulforaphane.”
