DIM, or Di-Indolyl Methane, is a plant indole that is full of health promoting properties. DIM is a direct digestive metabolite of I3C, indole-3-carbinol. DIM and I3C are found naturally in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. DIM is a great supplement that has been proven to help normalize and improve estrogen metabolism. This supplement is very important for men and women over the age of 40. To support it effectiveness you need diet, exercise, and other supplements. When incorporating DIM into your regular diet and exercise program it can help estrogen and testosterone play a part in good physical conditioning. DIM also helps to better your metabolism by working with and adjusting your hormones to avoid hormonal imbalance.

How does one lower excessive estrogen levels? Diet and exercise is the key. DIM can greatly help you reach your goals to lower your estrogen levels. If your estradiol or estrone levels are too high it is recommended that you take 200mg of DIM per day. DIM is best taken with Flax Oil because it is oil soluble. You should take 1,000mg Flax Oil per day with your DIM. You can also purchase a 60 day supply of Flax Oil through Cape Fear Naturals for only $5.95. Be sure to store the Flax Oil in the refrigerator. It's also important to concentrate on maintaining a low fat diet, high in fiber that is based on whole grains, vegetables and beans. Daily exercise is important in lowering estrogen as well. It has been proven that exercise will help normalize all hormone levels, especially estrogen. It is also important to limit your alcohol consumption because it will dramatically spike your estrogen levels. The problem is that many people are not willing to change their lifestyles by committing to diet and exercise.

Clinical studies were done in 1990 where people were given I3C and it lowered their estradiol levels 18% in one week. Well, now we have DIM, a supplement that is twice as strong as I3C and half the price. There were also clinical studies that prove the value of DIM. In a double blind study, doctors at UC Berkeley gave 108mg of DIM to postmenopausal women. In 30 days their estrogen metabolism was dramatically improved. Researchers at Wayne State University concluded from their lab and others that there was amply evidence for the benefit of I3C and DIM for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. There was also evidence through other studies that DIM is effective against breast and prostate cancer in animals, it is a promising cancer chemopreventive agent, and it is effective clinically in treating precancerous lesions of the cervix and laryngeal palillomas.

Please be cautious of scams and do not be misled by overpriced "special delivery" DIM. They will claim that their DIM is the "only one in the world that really works" and tell you all kinds of nonsense. They sell their DIM for expensive prices that are really about four time what it should be priced at. We sell a bottle of DIM that has sixty 200mg capsules for the low price of $11.95. Do not take chrysin to lower your estrogen levels. It has been proven through clinical studies worldwide that it has no value at all as a supplement and it does not work to lower estrogen levels! Bottom line, if you want to lower your estrogen levels, use DIM, diet and exercise to reach your goal naturally, safely and effectively! It is always a good idea to check with your doctor first before adding a supplement to your daily regimen. Always tell your doctor what supplements you are taking.
