Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a compound created when you digest cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli or Brussels sprouts.
Research suggests that DIM affects estrogen and other hormone levels in your body.
As a result, DIM supplements have been gaining popularity as a potential treatment for a variety of hormone-related conditions, including acne, menopause symptoms, prostate issues, and certain forms of cancer.
1. DIM can be effective in restoring normal production of estrogen in the body.
- Makes estrogen metabolize down the 2-hydroxy estrone pathway
- Frees up bound testosterone
- Acts as a natural aromatase inhibitor
- Increases energy
- Improves mood
- Reduces acne
2. DIM helps detoxify or manage xenobiotics and xenoestrogens, which are endocrine disrupting compounds that stress tissues and organs altering function, structure, and cell division.
3. DIM is a great cell protector as it can induce apoptosis, autophagy, and block abnormal cell proliferation. Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that gets rid of worn-out and irregular cells. Autophagy is another form of cell clean-up and means to get rid of cellular trash.
4. DIM aids in detox of harmful chemicals in the liver.
DIM can benefit both men and women
Diindolylmethane is used for preventing breast, uterine, and colorectal cancer. It is also used to prevent an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH) and treat premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
DIM is able to support free
testosterone without changing total
testosterone levels; it
does not
raise testosterone levels but supports its activity through its effects on estrogen metabolism. This helps to maintain a healthy level of free, active
testosterone.
Can DIM help with weight loss?
DIM has unique hormonal benefits. It supports the activity of enzymes that improve estrogen metabolism by increasing the levels of 2-hydroxyestrone, e.g. the “good” estrogen. When taken as part of a healthy diet, we have found that
DIM helps support fat
loss and healthy estrogen metabolism.
