“Of these constituents, the alkylpyridinium compounds, which are produced during roasting, were the most robust activators of Nrf2. One study comparing dark and medium roast coffee blends found that both blends reduced DNA damage; however, this study did not include a control group.”

“Sulforaphane exerts its therapeutic effects through a variety of mechanisms, the most notable of which is the activation of Nrf2, a cellular protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant and stress response proteins that provide protection against oxidative stress due to injury and inflammation.”

“Another pilot clinical study finds sulforaphane (abundant in broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables) increased blood glutathione levels and this correlated with increased glutathione in certain brain regions in healthy people. Sulforaphane is one of the strongest inducers of the Nrf2 genetic pathway which activates genes involved in glutathione production.”

“Interestingly, the impaired mitochondrial function coincided with the loss of cellular Nrf2, a protein involved in the body's antioxidant defense response. In addition, they found that the endurance athletes had worse glucose control than a matched control group.”

“These results suggest that drumstick and amaranth leaf supplements improve antioxidant capacity and reduce oxidative stress in postmenopausal females while also improving metabolic health. Link to full report. Learn more about moringa and the Nrf2 pathway from Dr. Jed Fahey.”

“00:36:50 - Sulforaphane worked as well as Prozac in treating symptoms of depression in mice. Study. 00:37:40 - Sulforaphane is the most potent naturally-occurring activator of the Nrf2 pathway.”

“No side effects were reported. The study's findings align with experimental evidence that sulforaphane modulates immune activity. Sulforaphane activates Nrf2, a protein that turns on antioxidant and antiviral defense genes.”

“Sulforaphane mediated these effects via Nrf2 activity and subsequent reduced expression of enzymes that promote glucose production in the liver. These findings suggest that sulforaphane ameliorates some of the hallmark characteristics of diabetes in humans.”

“Coffee also enhances genomic stability by preserving telomere length and activating cellular antioxidant pathways, particularly the Nrf2 pathway. Once incorrectly labeled as carcinogenic, coffee is now recognized for its strong anticancer properties.”
