Jarrow Formulas Broccomax, Supports Liver Health, 60 Delayed Veggie Caps

Not like the first batches anymore. Don't know if it's me or the product. I get jittery on these. First batches before the bottle change was life changing.

I have type 2 diabetes, use various prescribed drugs including insulin, follow a extremely strict ultra low carb diet, all as prescribed by my two doctors, yet have struggled for years to keep blood sugar low; it has always jumped around. I have never met anyone else with as severed a problem while being so strict. My own doctor says I am a "model diabetic patient." I have also tried nearly every available pill, food and trick that has claimed to help, but none of those have made significant difference, including chromium, "miracle cures", etc. I continually monitor studies which show an effect on blood sugar, which is how I discovered this product. You can buy the same extract the researchers used, but BroccoMax is a lot less expensive. The best suppements until now have been 5 g of Ceylon cinnamon and 1 g of portulaca daily divided into two doses, which combined often lower it by 5%. I have been using BroccoMax for about 45 days, and it immediately made a very noticeable difference, consistently lowering it another 20%. This means I have had to really cut back on my Insulin to keep from getting "lows." I am still in the process of reducing my insulin even more. Originally it was planned that I take 4 * 500 mg Metformin XL pills daily, but anything over 2 pills produced constant diarrhea. The Boccomax seems to have made up for the two pills I cannot take, and it has not produced any ill effects. While the blood sugar has dropped well below 100, so far I have not had any "hypros", although I have been extremely careful. Because I am so big, I am taking almost double the amount stated on the bottle, divided into 3 doses, taken on an empty stomach and hour before meals. Cutting my insulin means that I will lose weight. I have even been able to eat 5 fresh cherries without raising my blood sugar level--I have not been able to tolerate any non-fiber carbs before. Your experience may well be different; just be extremely diligent in monitoring your blood sugar while using this. I am not suggesting that this is a cure; continue to work with your doctor. In effect, it gets the message to your liver that there is plenty of sugar in the bloodstream, so it does not need to keep making more.

Good brand, highest dosage.

Strong stuff. Makes you very resilient to stress and quite gassy. I sleep deeper but also get a cortisol spike early in the morning waking me up prematurely. Need to eat something to fall back asleep. I used half the recommended dose on the bottle to mitagate this. Another welcomed benefit is a 3% improvement in 5k running time and 6-7% in half marathon time which is more effective than even keytones. It’s actually far above creatine and beta alanine together.

I’m now on my second bottle of Jarrow Formulas BroccoMax Sulforaphane, but I haven’t seen any significant benefits yet. I’ve been taking it consistently, hoping for some positive effects on my health, but so far, I haven’t noticed anything drastic. The product is easy to take, and I like that it’s backed by some good ingredients, but it may take more time for me to see any real results. For now, it’s too early to tell if it’s worth the investment, so I’m giving it a 3-star rating. I’ll keep using it for a little longer and hope to see something more noticeable soon.
