• One plant chemical with well-established health benefits is sulforaphane, found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli. Sulforaphane is produced from a glucosinolate called glucoraphanin
• Glucosinolates, which are inert, are converted into bioactive isothiocyanates, of which sulforaphane is one, through an enzyme called myrosinase
• When consumed, isothiocyanates activate the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway, which triggers a coordinated suite of protective enzymes in your cells, thereby ratcheting up your endogenous defense mechanisms
• Sulforaphane also upregulates heat-shock proteins, which play a crucial role in protein folding and aggregation, serving as molecular chaperones to maintain proteins in their native state
• Moringa contains a powerful isothiocyanate known as moringin, which is just as potent as sulforaphane, and in some assays actually more potent
