What is the optimal source and dose of sulforaphane? | Jed Fahey

- Sulforaphane is an end-product of a chemical reaction between two compounds present in certain cruciferous vegetables: glucoraphanin and myrosinase, the quantity and activity of which can vary based on a variety of factors. For example, glucoraphanin content differs based on a plant's life stage, cultivar, and growing conditions, and myrosinase, an enzyme, is heat-sensitive and rapidly denatures during normal cooking processes. Workarounds for these problems include eating younger plants (such as broccoli sprouts), adding ground mustard seed (which is rich in myrosinase) to cooked vegetables, or employing shorter cooking times and less water to favor sulforaphane production. A fail-safe mechanism is found in the gut, where commensal bacteria that reside there produce - at varying rates - myrosinase. In this clip, sulforaphane expert Dr. Jed Fahey describes some of the problems that complicate determining the optimal source and dose of sulforaphane.

I watched this and still have no idea what the ideal amount of broccoli sprouts or sulforaphane per day is? How much is too much?
For those wondering, 50-100 micromoles of sulforaphane is 8.9-17.7 mg!
Why is he so hesitant to answer straightforward questions? Very frustrating.
I was diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia 16 yrs ago.Inititally, I got a virus that paralyzed me for 8 days .It came on quickly after 1 glass of homemade white wine,while everyone else threw up.I just happened to be the DD because I'm not a drinker. What I found interesting is that I was also diagnosed with CRPS. Burns all over my body. After getting this horrible autoimmune I stopped getting head colds. It's been 20 years and for some reason I do not get head colds anymore. I used to suffer horrendous bronchitis or pneumonia. I chose not to be vaccinated and tne covid I got was very mild twice. I chose herd immunity. I tried Dr Terry, Wahl Protocol and was able to reduce flares,burns and inflammatory markers by 80% . I was eating. It's of broccoli. Also I believe that I got sick from 64 neighbors above us sprayed their lawns with insecticides and pesticides, killing their dandelions. It. landed on my vegetable garden and I popped a snap pea into my mouth and it burned my tongue.
Team, most people who know about this compound take it in supplement form. So how about we talk about how much to take in supplement form. For example, the supplement I take has 400 mcg per capsule. I take 4 of them daily. Please advise.
Wow, so much aggression. He said “A couple of ounces (100 grams) of broccoli sprouts.” He told you the actual yield of sulfurophane is highly variable depending on many factors. If you listen to Ms. Patrick’s other videos on this subject you know what those variables are. Quantity is just one factor. Preparation plays a big role. Sorry folks, reality can be complicated but doable.
It makes me sad when scientists tell you that it’s really hard to explain scientific stuff. Speaking as a scientist, I can tell you that it’s not hard, but the reality is that very few scientists are good at it. The sad part is that most scientists do such a lousy job at it, especially teachers & professors, that students get turned off by their instructors and leave the field… I wonder how many future Einsteins we have lost to other disciplines because of uninspiring science education!? Do better dang it! 🤬
So basically he doesn't know
How much is enough and how much is too much!? Ask your body not a scientist... clearly they can’t tell you anyway.
Best just try Swanson's Sulforaphane 400 mcg with BroccoPhane 1 capsule equals to 400 grammes of broccoli (1 lb)! 😁
8 minutes and he didn’t answer the question.
Thanks Dr Jed Fahey for your informative answers. I am a big lover of green cabbage-raw, cooked or sauerkraut which i make myself since I was 12yo (73 yo now). Are there any real health benefits? Thanks for your response in advance 😊
Began taking BROQ (the US version of the French brand recommended in another clip from this interview, where Rhonda asked him for specific product recommendations) a couple months ago, and although I take other supplements and eat relatively well, I had a full metabolic panel done last week and my numbers have never looked better. I was in the ideal range for everything, not a single marker was low or elevated. I can't say for sure it's from taking this one supplement but I think I'm going to continue taking it long-term. I'm only in my 30s but it just seems like a good defensive measure against cancer and other health issues based on the things outlined in this video and others I've seen. Wish it was a little less expensive but it is what it is.
Can we ferment the sprouts the way we ferment cabbage? This could get higher conversion rates potentially.
Nice action/video
Thanks 😊
What's the best way to maximize sulfurophane? They have videos talking of freezing them / adding 70° water for 10 minutes and mustard seed extract although that was just talked about for mature brocolli. It is a little confusing watching these videos. And I haven't seen it addressed specifically sprouts vs microgreens
I am a 47 year old male I'm already supplementing NAC, and l ergothioneine. I just want to figure out a way that I can also throw in some sulforaphane. any advice
@FoundMyFitness I retyped my question here because I was concerned about sulforaphane and thyroid ie not gall bladder (my mistake).
