found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale.

That explains a lot

Oui chef! I also found that its already being sold as a dietary supplement interesting.

There are several cruciferous vegetables I'd like to have as snacks now that I'm dieting but unfortunately as I read about it, too much cruciferous vegetables can cause health issues (bad enough that too much of unhealthy stuff can cause issues, but it turns out even the healthy stuff can cause issues (specifically thyroid related) if you have too much; you just can't win!)

If I'm reading this right, it's a digested form of something else in those vegetables. So adding broccoli to toothpaste isn't going to cut it. (Although I'm sure some brand on IG is already manufacturing that)
