Just one problem
I take 5 a day...to get up too....2mg. So that means taking more pills. I would love to see each pill at 5mg....then I could take 1 pill 3 times a day. The product is good... For me to get 15 mg a day it would not be convenient. Swanson please consider Sulforaphane product at 5mg a veg caps. Thank you very much.

Incredibly Cruciferous!
Great product, great price! All of the many health benefits of sulforaphane from broccoli, which has the highest concentration, all in an easy-to-take capsule.

Take with mustard capsules
You need the myrosinase enzyme in whole seed or plant, or else very little sulforaphane is liberated from the glucosinolate. This is a relatively small dose, so you really need to maximize the release. Otherwise, it is like eating cooked broccoli instead of fresh.
I wish Swanson would give a ballpark estimate for how much fresh broccoli this is equivalent to.

veggies in a cap
I think it's great to be able to take veggies in a capsule - me being a person that doesn 't like to eat raw veggies. As for its effectiveness - I can't really tell - I just feel like I'm doing something good for my organs by taking them.

Not enough veggies? No problem!
I just started to take 1 of these "broccoli" pills each day during lunch time. I discovered I need to eat more veggies but sometimes it is really difficult. So seeing this was on sale, I bought some to try.
On the bottle it says we only need to take 1 a day, which is great!
So now I take 1 of these in the afternoon. And at night, I'll take the Swanson Tri-Fiber Complex. Hm... hopefully I'll have enough "greens" and fiber. :)

Ca-Ching...
I looooove Broccoli, & we all sorta 'know' that it is good for us....I have read that it is the Sulforaphane, specifiecally that is the good nutrient. I do consume alot of Broccoli, yet for the days I don't...Taking this is a sorta 'ca-ching' for me knowing that I've gotten the nutrient, in any event....
I like that this is in capsule form, for better assimilation, & I do tend to trust Swanson's.

Good product
I have no time to hassle with growing my own sprouts and I have no time to hassle with juicing my own sprouts. I open two of these capsules every day and mix the powder into my nonfat plain yogurt. This gives me the nutrition of sprouts with convenience.
It is on sale now for $3.49 buy one get one free. I am going to buy more.

On My Top Ten
If broccoli is as healthful as it is usually claimed,
this extract is the best with it's sulforaphane content. You'd have to eat large amounts broccoli
to get the same extract that's in a few caps. Hippocrates said "Let food be thy medicine..." I agree and take three a day, and when combined with tomato products it's even more powerful. The best part is there's virtually no calories, and it's at a great price.

Veggie insurance
If you read the literature you know that there are excellent nutritional components in broccoli & its relatives: cabbage, cauliflower, brussel's sprouts. I want those benefits, but I don't eat these things daily. Voila! A great dietary supplement!

Just have to see what happens.
I believe that broccoli has many positive attributes and this product concentrates them so I can get them easily and conveniently in one pill. No way to know if it really does help but I believe it will help and like how easy it is to get that good parts of broccoli in an easy and inexpensive capsule to insure absorption.

Great New purchase
I just purchased this for the very first time about a month ago. As always I am almost never disappointed in your products. I am always looking for ways to get more greens into my diet and this was great. No repeating. I will continue to buy this product. Thanks
