Moringa, commonly known as horseradish tree or drumstick tree, is a tropical plant widely known for its nutritional and medicinal qualities. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may provide protection against chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, and may be useful in treating the symptoms of mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or autism, especially in developing countries.

Sulforaphane is a molecule found within the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds. Sulforaphane has anticancer and antimicrobial properties. It is found in such vegetables as moringa , broccoli, cabbages and Brussels sprouts .
