There is evidence that glucosinolates metabolized (producing dithiocarbamates in the urine) within a matter of hours in both animal and human clinical studies. I'll cite the Kensler Qidong study, Effects of glucosinolate-rich broccoli sprouts on urinary levels of aflatoxin-DNA adducts and phenanthrene tetraols in a randomized clinical trial in He Zuo township, Qidong, People's Republic of China. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2005 Nov;14(11 Pt 1):2605-13.


Title: BROCCOLI SUPPLEMENTATION

Do you know if any of the suppliers of SGS or similar products, are planning on using a delivery system that would bypass the liver, such as liposome technology.  It seems that it should allow for a much greater effect with the same amount of dosage.
