In this part of the video, Dr. Patrick and Dr. Fahey discuss the benefits and bioavailability of consuming moringa as an alternative to broccoli sprouts for obtaining sulforaphane-like benefits. A question from a viewer who consumes moringa leaves daily in smoothies prompts Dr. Fahey to share his expertise. He recommends dried and powdered moringa leaves, especially for those outside tropical regions, as fresh leaves don’t preserve well. Dr. Fahey, affiliated with a moringa company, explains that moringa teas, both hot and cold, can mitigate the leaf powder’s sharp taste. He mentions that the active compound in moringa, moringin, sometimes outperforms sulforaphane in certain assays. Despite less research compared to broccoli sprouts, Dr. Fahey is optimistic about moringa’s potential.
