Organosulfur compounds are a type of chemical substances that contain both carbon and sulfur atoms in their structure. They are commonly found in various natural sources like garlic, onions, and certain types of vegetables. These compounds have been studied for their potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
