“Sulforaphane is the end-product of a chemical reaction between two naturally occurring plant compounds – glucoraphanin and myrosinase. These compounds, often referred to as secondary metabolites, are not required for the plant's growth or reproduction.”

“The high dose broccoli sprout beverage contained 600 μmol of glucoraphanin (sulforaphane precursor) and 40 μmol sulforaphane, whereas the half dose contained 300 μmol of glucoraphanin and 20 μmol of sulforaphane.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The sulforaphane used in this study appears to have been 6 pills per day of a French supplement called Prostaphane. This supplement, one of the few that is actually sulforaphane instead of its precursor glucoraphanin (sulforaphane glucosinolate), isn't available in the United States...”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“They fed the other half normal chow supplemented with a broccoli sprout powder rich in glucoraphanin and myrosinase – the precursors to sulforaphane. They subjected the mice to various memory tests and assessed their mitochondrial function.”

“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.”
