| Use and description |
Sulforaphane is a natural plant compound derived from cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It is known for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties and is studied for its health benefits, such as for cancer prevention, heart health, and as a treatment for autism.
Sulforaphane in cruciferous vegetables occurs in a stored, inactive form as glucoraphanin. Glucoraphanin is converted to sulforaphane by the enzyme myrosinase to its active form. Myrosinase in the plant is activated by chopping or chewing, but can also be produced in the gut by certain bacteria. |
