Key Benefits
INDOLE-3-CARBINOL
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a natural compound formed during the breakdown of plants and the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, from the Brassica genus of plants. Some of the vegetables that contain indole-3-carbinol include, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and kale. In fact, many of the positive health-promoting benefits of these vegetables are due to the activity of DIM in the body.
ESTROGENIC METABOLITES
Estrogen is broken down in the body into different metabolites. Each of these metabolites has different effects on the body. Some metabolites are low estrogenic and offer many benefits in the body and some are highly estrogenic, which are not as favorable. Research studies suggest that exercise works to increase the low estrogenic metabolites and decrease the high estrogenic metabolites and supplementation with DIM is also used by many people to support these effects.
HORMONAL BALANCE
Both men and women use DIM to support healthy estrogen metabolism and hormonal balance in the body. Many athletes, bodybuilders and fitness competitors like to stack DIM with other ingredients to achieve their desired goals.
