Indole-3-carbinol (available in broccoli and supplements) was found to reverse IBD when added to 35 mg/kg of zinc in mice, but it did not work with only 5 mg/kg of zinc in mice.

Interestingly, 35 mg/kg of zinc with double distilled water did just a little worse, and that combination had no indole-3-carbinol in it.

The diagram is at the link. Zinc alone might do the trick, over time, but 35 mg/kg a day is a massive amount and should not be taken at that level in humans.

All the mice showed progress at the eighth day and were using human stem cells.

“Indole-3-carbinol” also helps with blocking conversion of free testosterone into estrogen.

Eat your broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables if you’re a male.

“Cruciferous vegetables” =
broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, arugula,
Brussels sprouts, collards, watercress and radishes...

"but 35 mg/kg a day is a massive amount and should not be taken at that level in humans."

Yeah, cause it would be deadly - over 3 grams daily for a 200 lb person.

Do note that the very impressive reduction in IBD occurred in just 10 days. This could mean a dose far less than 5 mg/kg, used over a much longer period of time, with indole-3-carbonol, could provide a similar activity. For instance, after a year of zinc at the Upper Tolerable Limit of 40 mg a day might work.

Good info. Thanks, ConservativeMind.
