DIM is a natural phytonutrient, with the molecular structure similar in size and shape to your natural hormones, and is found in cruciferous vegetables (i.e. broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower). It is considered the dietary connection to better metabolism. DIM is a powerful promoter of estrogen metabolism, which may help with the prevention of various types of cancer, particularly breast and prostate cancer. It improves metabolism by adjusting the balance of testosterone and estrogen, and improved hormone balance is a key to achieving health and fitness goals.

Because of its comparable structure to estrogen, DIM is able to stimulate more efficient estrogen metabolism, increasing the "good" estrogen metabolism which results in a reduction of "bad" estrogen metabolites. Obesity, exposure to manmade environmental toxins, and hormonal imbalances result in greater production of "bad" estrogen metabolites. DIM adjusts the balance of estradiol to its "good" metabolites, and produces more desirable action from testosterone by helping testosterone to be freed from their carrier proteins and prevents testosterone from converting to estrogen. "Good" estrogen metabolites are natural regulators of energy metabolism, promoting the active release of stored fat for better energy during exercise.

"Good" estrogen metabolites also have the ability to regulate cell growth and help the body get rid of damaged cells. These metabolites support the process of programmed cell death in which damaged cells are naturally eliminated from the body. The elimination of damaged cells that might become cancerous is one of the important mechanisms for the cancer protective activities of DIM and of healthy estrogen metabolism.

Through these processes, DIM is recommended for not only hormonal balance but also to prevent muscle wasting, promote muscle growth (in larger doses), convert fat into energy, increase libido, help with protein synthesis, and support natural progesterone production.

Note: DIM does not take the place of bio-identical hormone therapy. Do not use if pregnant or nursing.
