Sulforaphane increases glutathione in the brain | Jed Fahey

A growing body of evidence suggests that sulforaphane's protective effects extend to the brain. Glutathione, a potent endogenous antioxidant compound, is a likely mediator of these effects. Data from preclinical models of glutathione deficiency, supported by magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies, show increased glutathione levels in the brains of people who receive sulforaphane. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey discusses how sulforaphane promotes glutathione production in the brain, even with long-term consumption.

Do glutathione capsules help increase glutathione in the brain?

[danemuckler]

do we want more glutathione in our brains?

[chrinarai]

But is the increase in glutathione a result of the hormetic mechanism of sulphoraphane? Ie it itself is slightly damaging hence there in an upregulation of glutathione production? If yes, how does this apply to people with chronic illnesses - are they still able to benefit from such effects or are they detrimental in an already highly inflammatory environment (eg CFS)

What supplement do you recommend? I don't see very many good ones out there.
