Short answer
Yes. Rhonda Patrick calls sulforaphane the most potent natural activator of the Nrf2 pathway, which regulates 200+ detox genes. It is also recommended for liver detox from microplastics. Broccoli sprouts have 20-100x more than mature broccoli, and mustard seed powder boosts absorption 4x.
Sulforaphane is worth taking.

Sulforaphane activates the Nrf2 pathway and boosts the body's detoxification. Rhonda Patrick has the deepest coverage, across 11 dedicated videos. Sulforaphane switches on the Nrf2 pathway, which controls 200+ genes for antioxidant defense and detox. She points to it raising benzene excretion and lifting glutathione in both brain and blood.
Andrew Huberman recommends sulforaphane for phase two liver detox, to clear the hormone disruptors in microplastics. Mark Hyman has covered it across 13 videos for cancer prevention and immune support.
Broccoli sprouts carry 20-100x more glucoraphanin than mature broccoli. Add mustard seed powder to cooked broccoli for 4x the bioavailability, and heat sprouts to 70C for 10 minutes to triple the yield.
