Supplement

Chlorella

Chlorella is a genus of single-celled green freshwater algae, widely sold as a nutrient-dense dietary supplement and health food [1][2]. Its tiny spherical cells are packed with protein, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and the dried biomass is taken as tablets or powder [1][2]. First described in the late nineteenth century, Chlorella became well known as a model organism in photosynthesis research and as a proposed answer to food shortages; today it is studied for possible effects on cholesterol, blood sugar, and oxidative stress, though robust clinical proof of health benefits is limited [1][2][3].

Supplement

Sulforaphane

Sulforaphane is a natural compound in the isothiocyanate family, produced by cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, especially broccoli sprouts. It is not present in the intact plant but forms when the tissue is damaged, allowing an enzyme to convert its precursor, glucoraphanin, into sulforaphane. It has been studied intensively for potential health effects, chiefly through its activation of the cell's Nrf2 antioxidant defense system, although firm clinical proof of benefit in humans is still limited.
