How much sulphur is there in sulphoraphane?
Sulforaphane (C₆H₁₁NOS₂) contains two sulfur atoms per molecule. The Chemical formula is C₆H₁₁NOS₂ The "S₂" indicates the presence of two sulfur (S) atoms. These sulphur atoms are part of the isothiocyanate group and the thioether side chain that give sulforaphane its distinctive biological activity, especially in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables.
How does this sulfur content contributes to its health benefits?
The sulphur atoms in sulforaphane are critical to its biological activity and health benefits, especially its role in:
1. Activating production of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes (like glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase). The isothiocyanate group which includes sulfur, is what triggers this response.
2. Detoxification Support Sulphur is essential for phase II detoxification enzymes, which help neutralize and eliminate toxins, and heavy metals.
3. Anti-inflammatory Properties. Through the sulphur-dependent activation of antioxidant enzymes, sulforaphane reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, both linked to various chronic diseases.
