Cabbage contains powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, enzymes that can protect against certain cancers, and is high in vitamins A, B, C, and K1. Cruciferous plants like cabbage, broccoli, kale, and others are inherently high in fresh, naturally occurring indole compounds.
Digestive Benefits
Cabbage has been associated with digestive benefits such as repairing ulcers as it is a huge source of vitamin U (which is actually not a vitamin, but an enzyme known as S methylmethionine). Research shows that vitamin U, is effective in promoting the rapid healing of peptic ulcers.
Vitamin U and its effects on peptic ulcers
The positive effects of S-Methylmethionine on the gastrointzestinal system were discovered by Dr. Garnett Cheney.
A clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of concentrated cabbage juice in the treatment of peptic ulcers. Patients at San Quentin Prison with a diagnosed ulcer crater were treated in a double blind control experiment. They were given either concentrated cabbage juice or placebo facsimile. The evaluation of the merit of this treatment was based upon repeated x-ray examinations of the ulcer crater. A period of 22 days was allowed for ulcer crater healing time.[ref]Cheney, Garnett, Samuel H. Waxler, and Ivan J. Miller. "VITAMIN U THERAPY OF PEPTIC ULCER—Experience at San Quentin Prison."

The results of this experiment indicated concentrated cabbage juice to be effective in healing of peptic ulcer.
