NRF2: Preemptive System Activation
NRF2 is a transcription factor that is normally degraded but up-regulated when triggered by toxins or oxidative stress. By preemptively activating NRF2, you engage a system that can efficiently address reactive oxygen species through the activation of multiple enzymes. Unlike antioxidants like vitamin C that neutralize one reactive oxygen species at a time, NRF2 activation triggers hundreds of enzymes to tackle thousands of reactive oxygen species repetitively. This process differs from simply taking antioxidants, which may hinder exercise recovery if consumed during physical activity. To enhance exercise recovery, NRF2 activators like sulforaphane should be taken after exercise.
