What the Research Shows
Research regarding supplements and lung cancer shows varying levels of evidence.

In contrast, there is currently insufficient evidence regarding the effects of sulforaphane. Scientists are still investigating its potential impact, with ongoing Phase II clinical trials specifically studying its effects in former smokers who are at a high risk for the disease.
