What side effects were seen?

The prediabetes trial reported gastrointestinal side effects, but no severe adverse events. That short trial does not establish safety for indefinite use or every product. 1

What about the thyroid?

In a 12-week analysis of 45 women receiving a broccoli sprout beverage or control, thyroid hormone measures and thyroid autoimmunity were unchanged. This is reassuring for that preparation and duration, rather than a guarantee for all concentrated products. 2
