I wasn't 100% clear on all of its benefits, except it helps with Mitochondrial DNA.

In my view everyone needs to boost sulforphane, amazing stuff!

Here are "some" other benefits (you can dive into https://www.foundmyfitness.com to find all this and more):

Sulforaphane detoxifies as it helps remove (e.g. 63% increase in excretion in benzene) from our bodies a wide range of toxic substances (pesticides, aflatoxin, benzene, acrolein, etc), known cancer causing air pollution. Sulforaphane continues to support our body's capacity to protect itself from environmental threats and future toxic exposures. - Just this benefit was reason enough for me!

Some animal research suggests that sulforaphane and its byproducts protect against bladder cancer (and many others).

Glutathione, one of our major antioxidants produced by our bodies that declines with age (another one on the list) is increased with sulforaphane consumption very helpful for our brains. Very positive results with sulforaphane for a lot of brain related diseases.

Nrf2, "a cellular protein that participates in the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE biological pathway." Nrf2 regulates the expression of cytoprotective proteins that protect against oxidative stress due to injury and inflammation. Sulforaphane is the most potent naturally occurring inducer of Nrf2 so is a powerful anti-inflammatory.

Activating Nrf2 also helps mitigate sarcopenia and cardiac dysfunction as you age (more things you don't want to get as you age).

Sulforaphane was shown to reduce communication impairments and behavioral symptoms in young men with autism.

Sulforaphane protects against and reduces biochemical recurrence in men for prostate cancer, my own PSA count for the first time ever went down after increasing consumption of sulforaphane.


In my case I started with Brocolli Sprout powder and sprouting my own sprouts. I also keep trying to reduce overcooking, whist increasing brocolli and other cruciferous vegetables in my diet (don't always win on this front). I have given up sprouting for the moment so am taking 1.5G of this: https://www.cell-logic.com.au/product/b ... 0g-powder/  - 6 days per week. I take 1 day off as sulforaphane is also a powerful anti-microbial (like resveratol) so needed to give my "little friends" or my gut bacteria a break.

I have the sprouts in my freezer right now. How much do you take? I take about 1/8 of a teaspoon, more or less... since the frozen stuff is supposed to be much more potent, but i really have no idea how much to take.
