The food ingredient found in broccoli that has an impact on thyroid hormones is the isothiocyanates (ITCs), the active ingredient in D-tox 2. There is mention in the literature of possible problems between ITCs and thyroid function. It appears that ITCs block thyroid peroxidase which adds the iodine to the thyroid hormones.
