Allyl Isothiocyanate AITC supplementation for targeted health support.
AITC is the main pungent compound in wasabi, mustard, and horseradish. Note: most 'wasabi' is actually horseradish dyed green. Same AITC though.
Capsaicin (chili) activates TRPV1 receptors (heat sensation). AITC activates TRPA1 receptors (irritant sensation). Different pathways, different burn.
Tricky. Pure AITC is irritating and requires careful handling. Food sources (mustard, horseradish) deliver it more safely.

Some ingredients build up over weeks. Others act fast.
The compound effect of consistent dosing.
Check the cautions section if you have a pre-existing condition.
Some ingredients you feel. Others just work in the background.
Yes, very effectively. AITC is one of nature's most potent food antimicrobials. That's why wasabi is served with raw fish.
Interesting lab research on inducing cancer cell death. Human evidence is preliminary. Not a cancer treatment.
Hot mustard has significant AITC (varies by type). A teaspoon of prepared hot mustard provides meaningful amounts.
Most research uses 30.0g daily. Below 5.0g, you're probably wasting money. Above 100.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 300.0g.
Allyl Isothiocyanate AITC has emerging evidence.
Formed when glucosinolates in Brassica plants (mustard, horseradish, wasabi) contact myrosinase enzyme. Happens when you crush or chew the plant.
