So What Makes Broccoli So Great?
Glucosinolates, isothiocyanates and glucoraphanin:
• Glucosinolates are a broad category of compounds found in high concentrations in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage.
• Isothiocyanates are the bioactive molecules that trigger antioxidant activity in the body. The most well-known isothiocyanate is sulforaphane.
• Glucoraphanin is the glucosinolate found in broccoli that converts to sulforaphane in the body.
Sulforaphane was identified in 1992 as the leading compound in broccoli and responsible for many of its positive health benefits. These compounds and their mechanisms have been studied extensively and supported by more than 650 scientific publications to date.
The science has focused particularly on the compound's ability to selectively boost Phase II enzymes, enhancing the detoxification of cells. These indirect antioxidants eliminate many types of free radicals and recycle and remain active for up to three days.
