DIM
With meals
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a bioactive compound produced when the body digests indole-3-carbinol, found abundantly in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. It has gained attention for its ability to influence estrogen metabolism, shifting the balance toward less potent estrogen metabolites. DIM is widely studied in the context of hormonal health for both men and women.
