Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been extensively studied as a signal molecule in the body for the past 30 years. Researchers have explored both natural and synthetic sources of H2S, known as H2S donors, which differ in how they release H2S. In recent years, natural sulfur compounds found in foods have been identified as H2S donors and investigated for their potential health benefits. These compounds, called sulfanutraceuticals, are products derived from food sources that offer additional health advantages.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been extensively studied as a signal molecule in the body for the past 30 years. Researchers have conducted studies using both natural and synthetic sources of H2S, known as H2S donors, which have different characteristics in terms of how they release H2S. These donors can be inorganic salts or have various organic structures. In recent years, certain types of sulfur compounds found naturally in foods have been characterized as H2S donors and explored for their potential health benefits. These compounds are referred to as sulfanutraceuticals, a term that combines nutrition and pharmaceutical. It is used to describe products derived from food sources that offer additional health advantages. By introducing the terms sulfaceuticals and sulfanutraceuticals, we categorize sulfur-containing substances based on their origin and their use in both preclinical and clinical research, as well as in dietary supplements.
