Vitamin U is a tentative designation given by Garnett Cheney for antipeptic ulcer factors in cabbage juice that he found to cure peptic ulcers in eleven days versus thirty-seven days for placebo.[1] Other research points to fibre preventing ulcers.[2] Iso-thio-cyanates are an important factor in the action of Brassicaceae against Helicobacter Pylori,[3] and ITC is not a molecule, but a functional group on many different molecules, Sinigrin being a notable precursor of allyl-ITC. Other research has found results with indole-nucleated molecules, Glucobrassicin being one from which is formed two others: indole-3-carbinol and diindolylmethane. Glucosinolate is another group of molecules in the Brassicaceae family with gastro- and hepato-protective action.[4] While Brassicaceae is a large genus of plants containing hepato-protective and gastro-protective agents, it does not contain a monopoly on them.

Contraindications

Brassica species probably cause baby colic in breast-feeding.[5]
