DIM CAN HELP BALANCE HORMONE LEVELS: DIM has been shown to normalize the levels of hormones 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 CAN PROMOTE GOOD ESTROGEN: 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 SUPPORT MUSCLE BUILDING: 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 MAY HELP LOSE EXTRA POUNDS: Promote weight loss. The balance of “good” estrogen and free testosterone helps first release stored fat then assists fat-burning hormones 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 FOR PROSTATE BENEFITS: Diindolylmethane can provide prostate benefits 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.
