NCT ID NCT06561893
First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether taking a probiotic called L. plantarum can increase how much sulforaphane—a health-promoting compound—your body absorbs from broccoli. 13 healthy adults took either the probiotic or a placebo for a short time, then ate broccoli. Researchers measured sulforaphane levels in urine and blood. The goal was to see if the probiotic helps convert broccoli's precursor into the active compound.
