Diindolylmethane (DIM)

Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a naturally occurring compound formed during the digestion of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which is found in cruciferous vegetables. It is available as a dietary supplement and is believed to influence estrogen metabolism, potentially shifting the balance towards more beneficial estrogen metabolites. While research is ongoing, DIM is also investigated for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer properties. Common side effects are generally mild.
