DIM features broccoli extract and diindolylmethane—a phytonutrient found in cruciferous vegetables that may help maintain healthy estrogen levels and support a balanced hormone system in both men and women.
What makes DIM unique as a supplement is that all the toxins in our environment that mimic estrogens, which in genetically vulnerable populations, can cause an excess of estrogen and lead to breast cancer, fibroids, acne, PMS, mood swings, and belly fat! Yes, belly fat produces estrogen, which in turn attracts more fat to be deposited in the belly.
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower, and has been touted for its potential health benefits. Here are some of the benefits of DIM, along with references to relevant scientific studies:
-
Supports hormonal balance: DIM has been shown to support hormonal balance in both men and women by promoting the metabolism of excess estrogen (1). This can have a range of benefits, including reducing the risk of estrogen-dependent cancers and improving symptoms of conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS.
-
Antioxidant properties: DIM has been shown to have strong antioxidant properties, which means it may help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation (2).
-
Supports immune function: Some studies have suggested that DIM may have immune-boosting properties and may help to support the body's natural defense mechanisms (3).
-
May help with weight management: DIM has been shown to have a positive impact on body composition and may help to support weight management by promoting fat loss and preventing weight gain (4).
-
Supports skin health: DIM has been shown to have a positive impact on skin health, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin elasticity (5).
It's important to note that while there is promising research on the potential benefits of DIM, more research is needed to fully understand its effects and determine appropriate dosing guidelines. Additionally, not all studies have found positive results for all of these potential benefits.*
