“Puerarin is an isothiocyanate, a class of sulfur-containing compounds known for their potent anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity effects. Sulforaphane, another well-known isothiocyanate, shares many of these beneficial properties.”

“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.”

“Broccoli is a rich source of phytochemicals, including sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound with potent antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Learn more about sulforaphane in this episode featuring Dr. Jed Fahey. Read study abstract.”

“These findings suggest that sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts prevents age-related cognitive decline by maintaining mitochondrial function, thereby reducing oxidative stress in mice. Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate compound with robust antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects.”

“Drumstick leaves contain a number of antioxidant compounds including the isothiocyanate called moringin, which is similar to sulforaphane found in some cruciferous vegetables. Amaranth leaves contain a number of antioxidant compounds as well as other beneficial nutrients, such as magnesium, folic acid, and dietary fiber.”

“These findings suggest that sulforaphane shows promise as a therapeutic strategy for modulating oxidative stress in the brain, an underlying feature of schizophrenia. Some evidence that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may be useful in treating some of the symptoms of schizophrenia.”

“01:16:35 - Rhonda mentions tumor suppressor genes, which are activated by hormesis (good stress triggered by things like isothiocyanates). 01:19:20 - Joe brings up Dave Asprey's take on boiling kale to remove oxalic acid.”

“Interestingly, sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli, is the most potent naturally occurring inducer of Nrf2 activity. Watch this clip featuring sulforaphane expert Dr. Jed Fahey in which he describes the importance of the Nrf2 pathway.”

“New Scientist article. 02:06:10 - Some people, like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves, seem to defy aging. 02:08:15 - One 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soft drink per day shortened telomere length, corresponding to 4.6 years of biological aging.”

“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.”
