CategorySupplementsSupplements
Standard Dose
Timing
Cycle Duration
Evidence LevelModerate-StrongModerate

Mechanism

Stable precursor to sulforaphane. Requires myrosinase enzyme (from gut bacteria or co-administered) for conversion. Provides sustained sulforaphane release compared to direct supplementation. Activates Nrf2 pathway for antioxidant and detoxification gene expression.

Contraindications

  • Thyroid conditions (goitrogen at very high doses)

Mechanism

Combination of bromelain, papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatin. Systemic enzyme therapy that degrades circulating immune complexes, reduces fibrin deposition, modulates cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha), and supports recovery from injury, surgery, and chronic inflammation.

Contraindications

  • Bleeding disorders
  • Pre-surgery
  • Severe liver or kidney disease
