Following a previous study which showed that administering sulphoraphane from broccoli sprouts to subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) produced multiple improvements, researchers have now further correlated these findings by showing that young autistic subjects treated with sulforaphane  produced urinary metabolites consistent with improvements in the areas of oxidation and inflammation, hormonal and amino acid status, neurotransmitters, gut bacteria, and more....while demonstrating improvements in the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS).

We previously summarized the original findings in November of 2014 ...to read about it click here
