Mechanism

Fatty acid ester with anti-inflammatory and joint-lubricating properties. Modulates immune response by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase and modulating prostaglandin synthesis. Reduces joint inflammation and improves range of motion in arthritic conditions.

Contraindications

  • Severe liver disease

Mechanism

Isothiocyanate that activates Nrf2 — the master regulator of antioxidant defense. Upregulates glutathione synthesis, phase II detoxification enzymes, and heat shock proteins. Also inhibits HDAC (epigenetic modifier) and NF-kB (anti-inflammatory).

Contraindications

  • Thyroid conditions (goitrogen at very high doses)
  • Cruciferous vegetable allergy
