“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...”

“Sulforaphane may be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of coronavirus infections. Sulforaphane is a bioactive compound derived from certain cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli (especially broccoli sprouts) and red kale.”

“Heat shock proteins play a role in disaggregating protein aggregates. The precursor to sulforaphane is found in cruciferous vegetables but is highest in broccoli sprouts which can contain up to 100 times more than mature broccoli.”

“The study also showed that the sulforaphane's role in benzene excretion was dose-dependant. The high sulforaphane dose increased benzene excretion by 63% and half the sulforaphane dose caused an 11% increase in benzene excretion.”

“Sulforaphane is a bioactive compound derived from certain cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli (especially broccoli sprouts) and kale. Robust evidence from epidemiological, clinical, rodent, and in vitro studies indicates that sulforaphane exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial against a wide range of chronic and acute diseases.”

“Although many seed vendors provide quality seeds that are free of pesticides and have high germination rates, determining the glucoraphanin content in broccoli seeds requires laboratory analysis that may be cost-prohibitive for most home growers. In this clip, sulforaphane expert Dr. Jed Fahey describes some of the problems associated with choosing a good source of seeds for sprouting.”

“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.”

“A new study found sulforaphane (found in broccoli sprouts) improved behavior and social responsiveness in children with autism spectrum disorder. It also found that clinical improvements were correlated with two urinary metabolites known to be involved in redox metabolism, which sulforaphane is known to affect.”

“A recent study in mice found that sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli and broccoli sprouts, boosts memory, improves mitochondrial function, and reduces oxidative stress. Researchers studied normal mice and mice prone to developing a condition similar to Alzheimer's.”

“Nevertheless, sulforaphane's antioxidant-inducing capacity is well established, and consumption of sulforaphane-rich foods is associated with increased healthspan and lifespan. Broccoli sprouts are excellent sources of sulforaphane and are easy to grow at home.”
