What I’m not clear on is the dosgaes. What mg of Sulforaphane do we need to be getting to match the studies?

They would need to determine an optimal dose and see how long people must take it to observe an effect. The researchers caution that their studies don’t justify or demonstrate the value of using commercially available sulforaphane supplements to treat or prevent schizophrenia, and patients should consult their physicians before trying any kind of over-the-counter supplement. Versions of sulforaphane supplementsare sold in health food stores and at vitamin counters, and aren’t regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

I think I read that broccoli sprouts contain more sulforaphane then normal broccoli, so cauliflower is probably also not as high. But that’s just a guess.

Among them: broccoli, oranges, cauliflower, kale and carrots. Besides, cooked vegetables retain some of their vitamin C content. That said, research shows that some veggies, including broccoli, are healthier raw rather than cooked.

This is the link to the one I bought.

Only £13 for a month supply.

A lot of these supplements contain magnesium stearic acid amongst other things. Not sure if this is a problem. (See poor testinal absorbtion below)

I’ve only seen one, Dr Mercola, which seems to be natural, but that is twice the price.

More Mercola. Seems to be saying fermented sprouts are better for Sulforaphane. Not sure how true this is.

Day 3. Feeling fine. It might be stopping my alcohol cravings. I never cared much for alcohol anyway. It could be coincidence.

Ok, I’ve ordered the same ones as Green. Can’t afford the 30 pound Mercola ones, especially since you only get 30 capsules.

I’m not sure people are going to feel improvements. I think we may need to wait for the clinical trials to see whether we can reduce our medication with the supplement. Maybe those with breakthrough symptoms might notice a difference, I don’t know.
