Wasabi produces a suite of biomedically active molecules called isothiocyanates. These compounds have been suggested to assist our healthy living through their actions as: antibiotics, anti-cancer agents, anti-inflammation agents and anticoagulants (see Science & Biomedical page for more info). Other biomolecules of Wasabi have also been related to bone calcification.

The scientific literature supporting these claims is available upon request.

Scientific research has shown that Wasabi produces a suite of biomedically active molecules called isothiocyanates (ITCs) which are powerful nutraceuticals. These compounds, particularly the long chain methyl isothiocyanate (6MITC), are most abundant in authentic Wasabi. It is these ITCs that are responsible for the flavour and heat of real Wasabi as well as the unique health benefits including: anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant. In addition, other natural compounds from Wasabi have been demonstrated to be effective in bone calcification.
