General

It is produced in plants from methionine by the enzyme methionine S-methyltransferase, and although not really a “vitamin” as such but it was what Dr. Cheney called this compound when researching ulcers. He took volunteers and gave then raw cabbage juice to drink, and excellent results were obtained in treating peptic, gastric and duodenal ulcers. The juice, when heated however did not prove to be effective, so the compound is extremely heat sensitive. ^REFERENCE
