Estrogen Metabolism

DIM is believed to promote beneficial estrogen metabolism by increasing the ratio of 2-hydroxyestrone to 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone. This may lead to improved hormone balance and potential cancer prevention benefits.

DIM is believed to promote beneficial estrogen metabolism by increasing the ratio of 2-hydroxyestrone to 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone. This may lead to improved hormone balance and potential cancer prevention benefits.

DIM (Diindolylmethane) is purported to influence estrogen metabolism by encouraging the production of 2-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE1), considered a more favorable estrogen metabolite, over 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone (16-alpha-OHE1), which has been linked to increased risk of certain health issues. This shift in the estrogen metabolite ratio is hypothesized to contribute to hormone balance and may offer potential benefits related to cancer prevention, particularly in estrogen-sensitive tissues.
