2 interactions related to cabbage
cabbage + levothyroxine
Cabbage releases thiocyanates from glucosinolates that compete with iodide uptake at the thyroid sodium-iodide symporter. Case reports tie very heavy raw cabbage intake (1+ kg/day) to severe hypothyroidism, but typical cooked portions do not measurably affect levothyroxine requirements when iodine is adequate.

sauerkraut + warfarin
Sauerkraut is fermented green cabbage and contains roughly 18 to 70 micrograms of vitamin K1 per cup, depending on whether the brine is consumed and how the cabbage was prepared. Vitamin K1 supplies the cofactor for the very clotting factors warfarin blocks, so changing sauerkraut intake can shift INR and weaken anticoagulation control.
