a day of cruciferous
vegetables?
Enzyme Inducers
Indole 3-carbinol (I3C)
– Cruciferous vegetables:
broccoli, cabbage, kale,
brussels sprouts
Flaxseed lignans
– Fiber portion of flaxseed
– 20% lignans
Estrogen Metabolites
Urinary excretion of estrogen metabolites before and after indole 3carbinol (I3C) administration (95% CI).
