Summary
This study tests whether a daily supplement made from broccoli seeds and sprouts can help firefighters remove harmful chemicals from their bodies.

The trial involves 72 firefighters who take either the broccoli extract or a placebo for 12 weeks, and researchers measure changes in detoxification activity using a simple acetaminophen (Tylenol) challenge.
