But I would definitely make sure I'm getting my magnesium for my food because I left that one out.

I left that one. Well, if I only had three.

I would be getting my leafy greens and my nuts like almonds are very high in magnesium, right? Because I want to make sure I'm getting, you know, meeting the RCA.

Okay, omega-3, vitamin D, sulforaphane, magnesium, and the multivitamin.

That's the top five. is sulforaphane yeah sulforaphane is it's a compound that is made from a precursor that is found in certain types of cruciferous vegetables so these are broccoli cauliflower brussels sprouts cabbage those types of vegetables um it's really the precursor is called glucoraphanin and when you

break the plant, like by chewing it, or you break the plant wall, the glucoraphanin comes in contact with an enzyme called myrosinase that breaks it down into a compound called sulforaphane. So sulforaphane is really high in broccoli sprouts. In fact, it's... 100 times higher than mature broccoli. Sprouting broccoli is another option.

Broccoli sprouts is another option. I prefer to just take a supplement that, you have to find a good one. So there's a couple of good ones, Avmacol and Prostaphan.

Okay.

Okay.

And Brock, they're all sort of, those are like the high quality supplements. But sulforaphane activates a pathway in your body called NRF2 that's a major, major activator of a lot of different genes in our body that get rid of toxic compounds like carcinogens. So like if you're eating, let's say you're eating bacon, you can be exposed to something called heterocyclic amines which can cause cancer.

Well, activating Nrf2 through sulforaphane can stop your body from getting those terrible heterocyclic amines, right? So it's very good at detoxifying carcinogens, but also other factors like air pollution, benzene that you breathe in. I'm concerned with plastic chemicals like BPA, BPS. I think it's very good at detoxifying that because it does the same.

It activates pathways that are able to take BPA make it water soluble because you excrete a lot of BPA through your urine. So that's why I think sulforaphane is very important.
