DIM: Diindolylmethane is a NATURAL ESTROGEN BLOCKER that is found in many cruciferous vegetables. It has many benefits that can help improve health and wellness for both men and women. Bad estrogen becomes a more prevalent molecule as we humans age. Cruciferous vegetables contain a natural compound called glucobrassicin. When you consume these foods, the acid in your stomach converts glucobrassicin to indole-3-carbinol, which then undergoes further chemical changes, eventually producing DIM, a stable and biologically active compound.
DIM SUPPORTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM: Experts conducting research at the University of California reported that DIM can stimulate the immune system in order to help it possibly defend against viruses and bacteria. DIM has also been shown to increase the production of enzymes that help your body eliminate toxins and free radical compounds. With the help of DIM, the immune system is better equipped to keep you healthy and free of oxidative stress causing molecules.
DIM OPTIMIZES HORMONAL BALANCE: DIM has been shown to normalize the levels of s within the body, including estrogen. Because an excess amount of estrogen can cause hormonal imbalance symptoms, countering this excessive amount of estrogen is important to a man's and woman’s health. One study published in Nutrition had post-menopausal women with a history of breast problems consume a DIM supplement for 30 days, resulting in positive changes to their estrogen metabolism.
DIM SUPPORTS HEALTHY ESTROGEN LEVELS: The connection between DIM and estrogen is due to their molecular similarities. In order for estrogen to be utilized in the body it must be metabolized. Estrogen can follow one of two metabolic pathways, creating either good or bad estrogen. Since DIM requires a metabolic pathway similar to that of good estrogen, supplementing the diet with DIM or eating cruciferous vegetables multiplies the chance for estrogen to be broken down into its beneficial form. Simply put, DIM stimulates the pathway that leads to “good” estrogen production and healthy hormonal balance.
DIM CAN ENHANCE MUSCLE GROWTH: DIM supplementation and a health-centered lifestyle with balanced dieting and exercising can yield enhanced muscle growth and adaptation. By supporting more efficient fat metabolism and helping testosterone to be liberated from its carrier proteins, the “good” estrogen increases one’s development of stronger and more metabolically active muscles.
DIM PROMOTES WEIGHT LOSS CONDITIONS: Promote weight loss. The balance of “good” estrogen and free testosterone helps first release stored fat then assists fat-burning s to support weight loss. DIM’s use has been associated with easier weight loss in both men and women. DIM overall promotes lipolysis which is the process for breakdown of fat.
DIM ENHANCES PROSTATE HEALTH: Prostate protection in men by reducing estrogen dominance. Rising estrogen becomes a problem in middle-aged men. Testosterone is increasingly converted into estrogen, particularly in overweight men. Estrogen accumulates in the prostate gland, which is believed to contribute to enlarged prostate.
DIM HAS UNISEX USES: DIM is well-known for supporting healthy levels in both men and women. In women, it favorably influences the ratios of estrogen metabolites while in men, it helps reduce the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, which can happen for a variety of reasons, including when excess body fat exists. (This can happen because our body fat produces an enzyme called aromatase, which can convert testosterone into estrogen.
CAUTION: Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under the age of 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.
