Glucoraphanin is a naturally occurring "thioglucoside" compound in cruciferous vegetables. Thioglucoside produces biologically active isothiocyanates in the body after enzymatically "black mustard enzyme". This black mustard enzyme also exists naturally in other cruciferous vegetables. 

 Radish thioside 

 Efficacy and function 

 Radish thioside is a natural active product mainly found in broccoli seeds and seedlings. It can be converted into radish thion after the action of black mustard enzyme or intestinal microorganisms. Radish thion is one of the strongest activators of Nrf2 discovered so far. By activating Nrf2, it can activate a variety of cell protection effects such as detoxification, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. 

 The research field involves the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer and other cancers, the intervention of autism, schizophrenia, depression and other mental diseases, the intervention of diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the intervention of rhinitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other diseases. From the above-mentioned large number of clinical studies, it can be seen that the intervention of radish thioside is very wide, which seems unbelievable. This is because the target Nrf2 of radish thioside is expressed in almost all human tissues such as kidneys, muscles, lungs, heart, liver and large. This extensive tissue distribution of Nrf2 enhances the potential of radish thioside to regulate systemic gene expression.
