Sulforaphane is a type of “glucosinolate” compound that occurs naturally in cruciferous vegetables. the glucosinolates are enzymatically hydrolyzed by the enzyme myrosinase in the body, they produce isothiocyanates with biological activity. Thisrosinase is also naturally present in other cruciferous vegetables.
According to Yunnan Jiu Zhen Biological, they have their own thousands of acres sulforaphane source base, and as a source of supply, Jiu Zhen has introduced and popularized the related knowledge of sulforaphane.
Effic and action
Sulforaphane is a natural active product mainly found in broccoli seeds and sprouts, which can be converted into sulforaphane after the action ofrosinase or intestinal microbiota. Sulforaphane is one of the strongest activators of Nrf2 currently discovered, and it can activate Nrf2 to a variety of cell protective effects such as detoxification, antioxidation, and anti-inflammation.
Research areas involve the prevention and treatment of cancers such as prostate cancer breast cancer, and lung cancer, the intervention of mental disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, and depression, the intervention of diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the of various diseases such as rhinitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). From the large number of clinical studies mentioned above, it be seen that the range of sulforaphane intervention is very wide, which seems incredible. This is because the target of sulforaphane, Nrf2, is expressed in almost all human tissues such as the kidney, muscle, lung, heart, liver, and large intestine, and this extensive Nrf2 tissue distribution enhances the potential of sulforane to regulate systemic gene expression.
