Evidence

Limited
Evidence: 2 of 5 (Limited)

What the evidence says

Plant enzyme (found in cruciferous vegetables/mustard seed) that converts glucosinolates (e.g., glucoraphanin) into active isothiocyanates like sulforaphane.

About Myrosinase Enzyme

Plant enzyme (found in cruciferous vegetables/mustard seed) that converts glucosinolates (e.g., glucoraphanin) into active isothiocyanates like sulforaphane. Added to broccoli-sprout/glucoraphanin supplements specifically to enable this conversion in the gut; the enzyme itself has no independent RCT-backed health claim — its role is functional/mechanistic (enabling sulforaphane formation), not a standalone active.

What Myrosinase Enzyme supports

  • Helps convert glucoraphanin into active sulforaphane — a functional role, not an independently studied health benefit

Clinical evidence

Limited clinical evidence. Functional/mechanistic role only; no independent clinical outcome trials for myrosinase itself.
