DIM - Diindolylmethane (DIM) is formed by acid catalyzed dimerization
of indole-3-carbinol. DIM is an indole plant nutrient found in cruciferous vegetables
including broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Unlike other
plant nutrients, such as soy isoflavones, DIM has unique and distinct hormonal
benefits.
DIM appears to support the activity of specific enzymes that
improve estrogen metabolism in both men and women. Scientific research shows
that DIM increases the level of “good” estrogens (2-hydroxyestrogen)
while reducing the level of “bad” estrogens (16-hydroxyestrogen).
Underproduction of 2-hydroxyestrogen in women has been linked to PMS, mid-life
obesity, painful menstruation, recurrent breast pain, cervical dysplasia, fibroid
tumors, as well as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. In
men, obesity and chronic inflammation have been linked to underproduction of
2-hydroxyestrogen.
DIM stimulates more efficient estrogen metabolism. Supplementing
the diet with DIM and eating cruciferous vegetables increase the specific aerobic
metabolism for estrogen, multiplying the chance for estrogen to be broken down
into its beneficial, or “good” estrogen metabolites. By promoting
a healthy estrogen metabolism, DIM adjusts the balance of estradiol to its “good”
metabolites. This may also result in a more desirable action from testosterone.
Testosterone supports energy and mood and helps sustain interest in sex in both
men and women. When supplemental DIM is taken along with a program of regular
exercise, it may help estrogen and testosterone contribute to good physical
conditioning.
DIM contributes to a better metabolism in the most natural
way possible by working with your own hormones and adjusting their action to
avoid hormonal imbalance. DIM helps to eliminate active estrogen from the male
body by promoting its conversion into the “good” metabolites. These
metabolites then free up testosterone by bumping it off the testosterone-binding
proteins. The end result is a healthier balance of testosterone to estrogen
and more free (unbound) testosterone circulating in the body. In scientific
studies, high levels of testosterone and low levels of estrogen have been linked
to lean body mass, an efficient fat-burning metabolism, and low abdominal obesity.
BENEFITS OF DIM:
• Promotes healthy estrogen metabolism and balance
• Helps promote the conversion of estrogen to its 2-hydroxyestrogen metabolites
and reduces production of the 16-hydroxyestrogen metabolites
• Stimulates detoxification enzyme systems
