DL-Sulforaphane is widely studied for its potential health benefits, particularly in supporting cellular defense systems. It activates Nrf2, a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins, helping cells resist oxidative stress and inflammation. This makes it of interest in research related to cancer prevention, where it may help inhibit the growth of certain tumor cells by promoting detoxification and apoptosis. It is also investigated for its neuroprotective properties, with studies suggesting potential in managing neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Additionally, DL-Sulforaphane shows antimicrobial and antiviral activity, including some effectiveness against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium linked to stomach ulcers. Due to its ability to support phase II detoxification enzymes, it is used in dietary supplements aimed at enhancing liver detoxification processes. Research also explores its role in improving symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, showing improvements in behavior and social responsiveness in some clinical trials.
