Sulforaphane, from broccoli sprouts and other crucifers, switches on the Nrf2 pathway that drives the body's antioxidant and detox defenses. Fresh sprouts are the best source; supplements work only if they contain both glucoraphanin and myrosinase. Cooking destroys the conversion enzyme, which mustard seed powder can restore.
