“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.”

“This is very applicable data because cooking broccoli inactivates the enzyme (called myrosinase) that converts glucoraphanin into sulforaphane. The mustard seed powder provides a viable source of the enzyme myrosinase that can be sprinkled on top of the broccoli after it is cooked.”

“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.”

“They soon learned that sulforaphane is an artifact of isolation – the byproduct of a chemical reaction between an enzyme called myrosinase and a precursor molecule called glucoraphanin.”

“Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate formed from glucoraphanin when myrosinase is available. In this clip from Q&A #77, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes taking an Avmacol product that supplies both components. She states that she has no affiliation with the manufacturer.”

“But they also discovered that sulforaphane is an artifact of isolation – the byproduct of a chemical reaction between an enzyme called myrosinase and a precursor molecule called glucoraphanin, a type of glucosinolate.”

“Findings from a recent clinical trial suggest that sulforaphane improves behavioral symptoms associated with autism. Sulforaphane is a bioactive compound derived from precursors (glucoraphanin and myrosinase) in broccoli and broccoli sprouts.”

“See FMF episode with Dr. Jed Fahey. 00:44:55 - Myrosinase, responsible for converting the precursor glucoraphanin to sulforaphane, is inactivated by cooking but can be rescued partially by gut bacteria or added separately with mustard powder.”

“Notably, most human clinical trials use sulforaphane doses ranging from 30 to 100 micromoles daily (approximately 5 to 18 milligrams). These doses are typically delivered as glucoraphanin—the precursor to sulforaphane—paired with myrosinase to enhance conversion in the body.”

“Glucoraphanin is found in certain cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli (especially broccoli sprouts) and red kale. Glucoraphanin is hydrolyzed by the enzyme myrosinase to produce sulforaphane, which demonstrates many beneficial effects in humans.”
