Sulforaphane Absorption: What You Need to Know

Sulforaphane does not have a specific absorption peak as it is not a single compound but rather a metabolite that is produced when glucoraphanin, a precursor compound, is broken down by the enzyme myrosinase. The absorption of sulforaphane is dependent on the absorption of its precursor compound, glucoraphanin, which has an absorption peak at around 260 nm. However, the absorption of sulforaphane itself is not well characterized due to its complex nature and rapid metabolism in the body.
