The evidence in words
How much to take
Fresh broccoli sprouts or a stabilized sulforaphane/glucoraphanin-plus-myrosinase product.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Sulforaphane; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
It activates Nrf2, upregulating the body's endogenous antioxidant and detoxification enzymes — a more durable strategy than dosing antioxidants directly.
Bottom line
A genuinely interesting Nrf2 activator with real biomarker effects and early clinical promise. Product quality is the catch — many extracts deliver little active compound.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
