5% Nutrition Core Series DIM is a comprehensive vegetarian/vegan formula that contains 325 mg of 3,3-Diindolylmethane (DIM). However, we've enhanced this formula for improved absorption and effectiveness by adding a science-backed 250 mg of Calcium D-Glucarate, Organic Broccoli Powder 50 mg, and Bioperine Black Pepper Extract 5 mg. What is DIM DIM comes from Indole-3-Carbinol. Thats a phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale, Brussel sprouts, and cabbage. Its broken down in the body into various molecules. One of those molecules is DIM. DIM for Men: Research shows a positive effect on estrogen regulation, helping block the conversion of excess testosterone into estrogen. It also helps decrease negative effects of excess estrogen on the body, some of which include: fat gain, especially around the midsection, man-boobs, energy reduction, and slow muscle growth. DIM for Women: DIM can help women by assisting with the right balance of good estrogens to bad estrogens. Briefly, estrogens are a naturally occurring group of hormones in both men and women. As estrogen breaks down in the body, its metabolites can either help or harm a womans health. Thats why they are called bad and good estrogen metabolites. The good estrogen metabolites have high antioxidant activity. The bad estrogen metabolites lead to unwanted body composition changes. That means we want to increase the proportion of good metabolites to bad metabolites. DIM supports this process. Benefits of "Good" Estrogen: It should be noted that for both men and women, DIM has been shown to help improve overall metabolism. Thats because its a natural regulator of energy metabolism. In other words, it helps convert stored fat into energy. Good estrogens also help reduce inflammation. This can help ease post-workout soreness.
