Sulphoraphane/ Broccoli seed...sprouts group

Has anyone else ventured into following Dr Rhonda Patrick's recipe for extracting sulphoraphane from broccoli sprouts ? I'm a week into it.

11/26 Still extracting from the sprouts, but after seeing Dr Patrick's very recent Q & A session with Dr Fahey, it seems heating seeds, or sprouts isn't necessary, and won't make more sulphoraphane. Also, Dr Fahey reviewed some good newer sulphoraphane products in the market. I am reviewing, and will try that route.

Yes I recently started using broccoli sprouts instead of the seed extract. I’m on day five. My protocol is I soak 15g broccoli sprouts in 60°C water for 10 minutes before adding them to my smoothie. I add 1/8 teaspoon of ground white mustard seed to the mix.

The recipe for the rest of the smoothie is as follows: Coconut or Almond milk 6oz; walnuts 30g; protein powder 40g; rice bran 20g; hemp hearts 20g; psyllium husks 1tbs; mushroom powder 2tsp (Lions Mane and Chaga); frozen blueberries 30g; throw in whatever leafy green stuff is at hand. Sometimes I add chicory root powder. Blend well in NutriBullet. Enjoy- JG

I'm using 1 1/4 ounces ( about 35 gms) in 70 degree centigrade for 10 minutes then blended with an ice cube, & fresh water. I'm wondering why Dr Patrick uses fresh water instead of the warmed water the sprouts soaked in.

DR Patrick said heat at florets at 60 because they are more heat sensitive, and the sprouts at 70.

That is some heavy duty smoothie receipe ! Have you just started that one ?

How did you get the 35g dose? Was that Dr Patrick?

Not very scientific, but I tried copying her handfuls when removing sprouts from the jar, then I weighed it.

I try to drink a broccoli sprout smoothie every other day at least; I usually put 20 g sprouts in the blender with some room temp water and often add some raw cabbage. If I forget to make spouts (should be a routine by now but I am very forgetful) I use a smaller amount of the seeds. I let it sit at room temp for 15min. I don't do the warm water bath thing as it is too much to do. I think Dr Greger suggests putting the smoothie in the fridge for an hour? (maybe more). It definitely helps a lot with GERD (cabbage seems to add to the effect) and a bit with gut motility/constipation; my GERD comes back if I miss a few days.

I try to get iodine by eating seaweed not near the time when I do the smoothie.

I also take NAC, lemon verbena and exercise. Lemon juice also seems to help with glutathione production due to the citric acid content (which should convert to citrate): pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/156...

I think I may be having allergic reactions to lemon though (I've been having problems with eczema, itching, etc. lately), so I have dropped for the time being.

On lemon verbena:

I also take vitamin C, which according to the above video, may be counter productive - but it seems to help my skin.

I don't have PD. I may be in the prodrome of something (really bad insomnia, really bad constipation, lower urinary tract symptoms, some other autonomic problems) ... I'll find out eventually, I guess.

Does anyone here know whether moringa is comparable to broccoli sprout, sulphoraphane-wise? I eat the sprouts, now and again--I just can't face the smoothie concept.

Moringa leaves I actually like, sauteed in olive oil or butter. The trees grow like weeds if you live anywhere warm--I suspect they'd grow in a pot if you don't.

Not what you're looking for?
