Q & A with Dr. Jed Fahey

Q:  I am on Coumadin (blood thinner) and am told that I have to be careful about consuming broccoli due to high Vitamin K content.  Does Brassica® Tea contain Vitamin K as well?
 
A:  We have not been able to measure the amount of Vitamin K in Brassica Tea.  Accurate analysis is extremely difficult and unreliable because Vitamin K is not water soluble.  Analyses in the Brassica Chemoprotection Laboratory show that BroccoSprouts contain 1.35 micrograms of Vitamin K per gram of fresh sprouts.  This converts to 135 micrograms per 100 grams (which is much more than one would consume per day), or 38 micrograms per one ounce serving.  The Vitamin K content of market stage (adult) broccoli is reported as 205-270 micrograms per 100 grams, and one might consume 100 grams of adult broccoli at a time.  Other vegetables are reported to contain from 5 to about 1,500 micrograms per 100 grams.  Given that the broccoli extract in the tea comes from the sprouts, and the amount of SGS is reduced from 73 milligrams per one ounce serving to 15 milligrams per tea bag, and given that Vitamin K is not water soluble, we believe Brassica Tea contains very little Vitamin K.  However, certainly discuss this with your physician.

  • SGS activates the body's own NATURAL defense systems, including the Phase 2 detoxification enzymes, which promote long-lasting antioxidant and essential cellular processes that inactivate free radicals. Now you can get the great taste of tea with the goodness of SGS in Brassica® 100% natural gourmet teas. In addition, teas contain polyphenols, natural plant compounds that are believed to help prevent many diseases.
  • More than 200 scientific papers have been published on sulforaphane, SGS and broccoli sprouts, which show that consumption of SGS may help reduce the risk of hypertension, inhibit or stop the growth of cancer cells, and kill H. pylori (the bacterium that causes some stomach ulcers.)
