1. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing!

    The "Glucoraphanin, also known as sulforaphane glucosinolate [SGS(TM)]", described in the introduction to this article has never been demonstrated to produce the results described later in the article regarding hypertension.

    The effect on blood pressure described in Juurlink's paper, "Dietary Approach to Attenuate Oxidative Stress, Hypertension and Inflammation in the Cardiovascular System" requires a 100% whole broccoli sprout powder which retains active myrosinase enzyme.  The SGS product described contains only the precursor compound, Glucoraphanin and this compound can not produce Sulforaphane without the presence of active myrosinase.

    Unfortunately, such inaccurate reporting may lead a consumer (or Clinician) to a product which is unable to replicate the clinical effects described in the published paper.
