Its antibacterial effects can fight against H. pylori, a bacterium that infects the stomach & small intestine, that can lead to peptic ulcers which may further cause stomach cancer & inflammation of the stomach lining. Naturally occurring compounds in wasabi are called as ITCs and have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects and prevent the formation & growth of fat cells.

These ITCs have also been studied for their ability to inhibit acrylamide production and inhibit the growth of several types of cancer. Several research are ongoing to find out if ITCs isolated from wasabi can be used in the treatments of osteoporosis & neurodegenerative brain conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Rhizome, the only raw material required to make wasabi is available in most convenience stores, but at a high price.

Factors such as high cost, fluctuations in the price, and the demand-supply gap in rhizomes are forecasted to impede the growth of the market, impacting the production cost severally. However, there is a relatively affordable way - wasabi powder which is sold at comparatively lower prices. Also, the wasabi powder is usually made with natural ingredients without additives or preservatives.
