Sulforaphane
Food or supplementMeasured in people, not heightBy mouthNutrient
The compound from broccoli that switches on the body’s own antioxidant defences.
An isothiocyanate released from glucoraphanin when broccoli and related plants are chewed or crushed. The canonical dietary activator of Nrf2, and independently an NF-κB inhibitor. Sold as sprout and seed extracts; a pharmaceutical form completed phase 1 and 2 trials and was never marketed.
Risks. Safe enough in short trials, but a study that measured 110 children’s height never published the result.
