Potential benefits of sulforaphane for Alzheimer's disease | Jed Fahey

A growing body of evidence suggests that sulforaphane's protective effects extend to the brain, where it appears to enhance brain-derived neurotrophic factor (a protein that controls and promotes the growth of new neurons) and inhibits histone deacetylation (an epigenetic modification that influences gene expression). Other evidence demonstrates that sulforaphane provides protection from methylglyoxal, a critical player in the pathogenesis of advanced glycation end products, prominent features of diabetes and major contributors to amyloid-beta aggregation in the brain. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey discusses the current state of the science regarding sulforaphane and brain health.
