But this is not your average Broccoli Sprout supplement! What I didn’t know is most broccoli supplements contain glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane, often marketed as “sulforaphane glucosinolate.” However, peer-reviewed studies show that the body absorbs about 80% of ingested sulforaphane, compared to only 40% for formulations with glucoraphanin. And glucoraphanin relies on your stomach to convert it to Sulforaphane. Sulforaphane functions through two primary mechanisms: it activates the Nrf2 anti-inflammatory pathway while inhibiting the pro-inflammatory Nf-kB pathway.
Sulforaphane supports all three phases of detoxification, serving as the most powerful natural Phase 2 detoxifier known.
Sulforaphane travels to the brain to support the survival of existing neurons and encourage the formation of new ones. Low Nrf2 functioning is linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
