For this week’s episode of the Clinician’s Corner, we’ve gone into the archives to pull out another clinical pearl from one of our favorite episodes – and today we discuss the powerful healing properties of sulforaphane with David Roberts & Dr. John Gildea, from Mara Labs.
This interview first aired in 2023, and the full interview can be viewed here.
Clinical pearls we extracted from the original interview:
- The story behind BrocElite, a stabilized sulforaphane supplement
- The motivation behind the research
- The scientific background on sulforaphane (e.g., its development and stabilization)
- How sulforaphane plays a role in cancer and chemotherapy
The Clinician’s Corner is brought to you by the Institute of Restorative Health.
