We explored the effects of sulforaphane, a compound derived from broccoli sprouts, on young men with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Participants aged 13-27 took daily doses of sulforaphane for 18 weeks.
Those who received sulforaphane experienced significant improvements in behavior, including better social interactions and communication, compared to the placebo group. However, once treatment stopped, behavior scores returned towards their original levels.
While promising, the results highlight that the benefits may not be lasting without continued treatment.

We examined the effects of sulforaphane (SF) from broccoli on autism symptoms through the experiences of caregivers involved in a previous study. Many reported positive outcomes during and after the original trial. While several participants continued taking SF supplements to maintain improvements, it's important to note that the study did not provide concrete evidence of long-term efficacy. Nevertheless, these personal accounts highlight the potential of diet-based therapies in supporting individuals with autism.

We examined the effects of sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli, on children with autism. Over a 36-week study, 57 kids were split into two groups: one received sulforaphane and the other a placebo.
While small improvements were noted in caregiver assessments, no significant clinical changes were observed overall. The findings suggest that while sulforaphane was safe and well-tolerated, the results were less impactful than previous studies.
This highlights the complexity of autism treatments and the need for further exploration.

Improvement in my son with autism. I hesitated before writing this review, but after giving this to my 16-year-old son, many people noticed major changes: he is happier, less angry, and more conversational. Overall, he is better despite a slight increase in OCD symptoms.
