A good professional brand like Metagenics, Xymogen or Designs for Health should do the trick. Please do not buy cheap vitamins off Amazon. Nobody can vouch for their safety or authenticity. Ask your doctor or get in touch with a holistic practitioner to order professional-only vitamin supplements.
I checked out the first one and it said I needed a practitioner code to order it.
Try the following code: KRheaume
That worked. Thanks.
The first one was half the price of the third one and had twice as many capsules. They didnāt take PayPal though. I had to enter my credit card info.
I canāt tell my wife I ordered another supplement. The others I had bad experiences with.
Whatās the recommended daily dose?
Most of the studies used the 100 Ī¼mol dose which is therefore the one I would recommend.
Your pharmacist can provide you with specific dosing instructions. Usually, the pharmacist has a database that can be searched.
Iām actually gonna try growing the sprouts. From what Iāve read, many of the supplements donāt actually end up being usable to the body because either the sulforaphane is destroyed, or it doesnāt contain any myrosinase, an enzyme necessary for you to get any use out of it.
I dunno, itās a lot of work, who knows if Iāll remember to consistently take care of them.

Anyone know who to go through in the uk for professional vitamins?
Day 5 of broccoli sprouts extract and Iām feeling good. Calming for me.
Anyone else think broccoli resembles a human brain?
Also my facial expression isnāt flat. You know how one symptom of schizophrenia is facial expression flatness? Well, itās helping that.

Lol thats funny !!
Professional formulas can be obtained only through a licensed healthcare practitioner. However, these products still sometimes make it onto Amazon and eBay. Some of these brands are available through wholesale distributors such as AvivaHealth.com. They ship worldwide.
Unfortunately with shipping thatās 8 times the price. Not possible for me.
Mine arrived and I took my first tablet. Lets see what happensā¦

These pills donāt work immediately, so donāt expect immediate relief. Itās not even clear how pure or potent and readily absorbable your supplement is in the first place.

I just took another 2 tablets. It says to take 2 tablets once or twice daily.
So Iāll take 2 tablets daily from now on. Thatās 30 doses so this experiment will last a month max !

This author has some info on sulforaphane. He uses it for his autistic son. He uses a particular brand made in Australia, which is very expensive. He does say it takes effect in about 30 min for his son.
Sulforaphane is not a stable substance and so you are wasting your money buying most supplements. Even most types of broccoli powder, which should be a precursor to Sulforaphane (SFN), were shown to be ineffective in independent lab tests.
Broccoli sprouts are a convenient and rich source of the glucosinolate, glucoraphanin, which can generate the chemopreventive agent, sulforaphane.
How to make Sulforaphane
Eating Broccoli
Broccoli does contain glucosinolate and the required enzyme myrosinase. If you eat copious amount of raw broccoli or very lightly cooked (steaming for 2 minutes) you will produce Sulforaphane in your body. The amount required would be literally pounds/kilos each and every day, to come close the therapeutic doses.
Frozen broccoli has no active myrosinase and over-cooked broccoli has no myrosinase.
Clever tricks developed to get round this include:-
Eating a small piece of raw broccoli (to provide myrosinase) with your cooked broccoli
Adding a tiny amount of daikon radish to frozen broccoli. This is really a great idea, since only 0.25% Daikon is needed, you get 99.75% broccoli and will never even notice or taste the daikon.
It was shown that broccoli seeds and broccoli sprouts (5 day old broccoli) contain highly concentrated amounts of glucosinolate and the required enzyme myrosinase. It is reported to be about 20 times higher in sprouts than full grown broccoli.
Broccoli sprouts are eaten uncooked and so no myrosinase is lost in food preparation.
He says one of the researchers eats a few ounces of raw broccoli sprouts by putting it in a croissant with cream cheese, which sounds pretty good actually.
TL;DR: Supplements are iffy, eating mature broccoli has some sulforaphane, but not enough to be therapeutic. Itās still healthy though. Broccoli sprouts seem to be the way to go.
