Wasabia japonica is a member of the Brassica family of vegetables which includes broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, horseradish and watercress. The Brassica family has been well researched for its Chemoprotective and detoxification properties. Wasabi is unique from others in the Brassica family because of the 3 unique cancer killing chemicals that includes long chain methyl isothiocyanates (MITC’s). The MITC’s from Wasabi have been shown to increase Phase II detoxification enzyme activity more than 11 times better than others in the Brassica family. These unique MITC’s have been studied for their Anti-Microbial, Anti-Inflammatory, Detoxification, and Chemoprotective properties. Researchers are excited about these relatively new findings and new research is on-going.
