What is Broccoli sprout extract (Sulforaphane)?
Broccoli sprout extract (Sulforaphane) is a compound within the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds. It is obtained from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbages. It is produced when the enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, into sulforaphane upon damage to the plant, which allows the two compounds to mix and react. Young sprouts of broccoli and cauliflower are particularly rich in glucoraphanin.
Broccoli sprout extract (Sulforaphane) benefits
Detoxifying
It boosts the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms in several ways. As an indirect antioxidant, it boosts the antioxidant capacity of cells rather than just by providing antioxidants. It activates the Nrf2 and ARE pathways. This leads to increased cellular glutathione in the body. Since glutathione is the master antioxidant, this has far-reaching benefits for the body.
Brain Boosting
It is also really, really good for the brain. It is considered a nootropic because it has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Weight Loss
Broccoli sprout extract (Sulforaphane) helps fight obesity by changing energy consumption in the body and by improving gut flora.
Anti-aging
It activates heat-shock proteins in the body which can help slow aging and improve brain function.
Anti-cancer
- Target cancer cells while protecting healthy cells.
- Kill breast cancer cells, cervical cancer cells, liver cancer cells, prostate cancer cells, and colorectal cancer cells.
- Prohibit the growth of cancer cells while encouraging the growth of health cells.
- Inhibits skin cancer and bladder cancer development in mice studies.
- Increases the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs.
Protect Heart
It increases the body’s own antioxidant producing capabilities. It is very anti-inflammatory and can reduce reactive oxygen species by increasing oxygen levels. Both of these mechanisms make it good for the heart.
Protect Liver
It supports the liver by reducing oxidative stress. It also may improve alcohol tolerance and reduce the negative effects of alcohol by inducing aldehyde dehydroenases.
Anti-Inflammation
Broccoli sprout extract (Sulforaphane) can reduce inflammation and pain due to its antioxidant-boosting activity. It can have specific benefit against pain and inflammation when combined with curcumin.
Hair Care
It reduced dihydrotestosterone levels in the blood and stopping and reversing hair loss.
Increasing Glutathione
It is a potent Nrf2 activator. Nrf2 lives in every cell of the body. When activated, it binds to Antioxidant Response Element, which is the switch that controls antioxidant production in the body. So when Nrf2 activates, your body starts making glutathione and other antioxidants. This reduces inflammation and helps the body protect against disease.
