Dr. Rhonda Patrick Was Right: Sulforaphane, Broccoli Sprouts & Nrf2 Activation
Backed by the cellular resilience Rhonda Patrick has championed for years — and now upgraded in our latest protocol
🦴 Dr. Bones Updates His Protocol: Sulforaphane Meets Moringa
From the Wellness Roll Up Team
🔁 Latest update to the “cellular resilience” stack
TL;DR:
After years of singing the praises of moringa, Dr. Bones is officially upgrading his protocol with sulforaphane — the broccoli sprout compound Rhonda Patrick can’t stop talking about. Why? Because stacking it with moringa might be one of the most powerful ways to activate your body’s master defense switch: the Nrf2 pathway.
🧬 What’s Nrf2 and Why Should You Care?
Nrf2 is like a cellular general that commands:
⚔️ Detox enzymes to neutralize toxins
🛡️ Antioxidants to fight free radicals
🔥 Anti-inflammatory pathways to keep your cells cool under pressure
🧠 Neuroprotective genes that support brain health and cognitive longevity
🌿 Why Moringa Was First In Line
Dr. Bones has been spooning out 3–4 tablespoons of moringa per week for years. It contains a unique isothiocyanate called moringin, which:
Stimulates Nrf2 (mildly)
Helps regulate blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation
May support stem cell maintenance (based on early research)
Plus, it’s packed with polyphenols like quercetin and chlorogenic acid for extra cellular protection.
🥦 Why Avmacol Just Made the Cut
Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s recent endorsement of the reformulated version, Avmacol Extra Strength, has earned its spot in the protocol — especially notable since she previously relied on broccoli sprout powders imported from Europe or grew her own at home:
Contains glucoraphanin + active myrosinase enzyme (from daikon radish, a natural source) for reliable sulforaphane production
Backed by Jed Fahey, the world’s leading sulforaphane researcher
Used in human trials for autism, cognition, and inflammation
Reformulated for better bioavailability and consistency
Easy to take — no sprouting required
This is not your average broccoli extract — it’s the result of years of refinement, now finally worthy of a place in the Dr. Bones stack.
⚡ Why Stack Them?
When you combine moringa + sulforaphane, you’re hitting the Nrf2 pathway from two different angles:
Broader antioxidant gene activation
Deeper cellular cleanup
Increased glutathione production
Support for brain, liver, metabolism, and immune resilience
🧪 New Protocol (Week at a Glance)
Daily
✅ Avmacol Extra Strength (1–2 tablets with food)
3–4x/week
✅ 1 Tbsp moringa powder (mix with shake, tea, or water)
(That’s enough to maintain mild Nrf2 activation without oversaturating the system — especially when paired with sulforaphane daily.)
Optional: Add olive oil or fish oil for absorption boost
📣 A Note from the Wellness Roll Up Team:
We’ve always believed in informed experimentation. If you’ve been taking moringa like Dr. Bones — great. But if you’re ready to push the envelope on cellular resilience, sulforaphane is now essential.
We’ll continue to watch the research — and adjust the protocol accordingly. For now, this stack is as good as it gets without growing sprouts in your closet.
