Sulforaphane (sometimes sulphoraphane in British English) is a compound within the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds. [1] It is produced when the enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, into sulforaphane upon damage to the plant (such as from chewing or chopping during food preparation), which allows the two compounds to mix and react.
Although there has been some basic research on how sulforaphane might exert beneficial effects in vivo, there is no high-quality evidence for its efficacy against human diseases. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Broccoli sprouts also contain a particular glucosinolate compound, glucoraphanin , which is found in vacuoles within the cytoplasm of the plant cell.
Research shows that kale may also help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, and is loaded with chemical compounds such as sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, which are associated with reducing ...
Cruciferous vegetables also have sulforaphane, which helps with detoxification, Glassman said. Fish like salmon and sardines are rich in necessary Omega-3 fatty acids, which can't be produced by ...
Sulforaphane and other isothiocyanates have been studied for their potential biological effects. [3] The isothiocyanates formed from glucosinolates are under laboratory research to assess the expression and activation of enzymes that metabolize xenobiotics , such as carcinogens . [ 3 ]
Dr. Michael Roizen is 78 but says his biological age is 57.6. Roizen, who has written about longevity, takes supplements every day. They include multivitamins and aspirin.
Indole-3-carbinol induces a G1 growth arrest of human reproductive cancer cells. [9] This is potentially relevant to the prevention and treatment of cancer, as the G1 phase of cell growth occurs early in the cell life cycle, and, for most cells, is the major period of cell cycle during its lifespan.
There is research suggesting that resistant starches may help lower the risk of colorectal cancer in certain people. Resistant starch is also thought to help with weight management. "Some research ...
