Primary Conditions Treated
General Dosage
Food farmacy; eat some almost every day but don’t overdo it.
Safety & Contraindications
Not covered. In huge quantities, glucosinolate/isothiocyanate-containing crucifers might upset the thyroid. And in huge doses, hard to get dietarily, indole-3-carbinol might stimulate breast cancer rather than prevent it, because it does so at levels reasonably attainable through dietary consumption of crucifers.
