DIM + I3C

Estrogen dominance is a common issue for many women. This causes uncomfortable symptoms such as severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS), headaches, moodiness, breast tenderness, etc. Many women with estrogen dominance have irregular or heavy periods with blood clots.

It can also happen in men. Males with estrogen dominance may have excess chest fat, called gynecomastia.

Seeking Health DIM + I3C supports the liver's estrogen metabolism. It helps excrete bad forms of estrogen.

I3C (indole-3-carbinol) helps with estrogen balance. DIM (diindolylmethane) is a byproduct of I3C and supports estrogen balance. It helps with the production of good estrogen metabolites and reduces less desirable metabolites, linked to estrogen dominance.

The liver is an important organ that detoxifies your body. Glutathione( S-acetyl-L-glutathione) helps with the detoxification of harmful estrogens. Also, it supports healthy cellular responses and protects cells from oxidative stress.

Both DIM and I3C are extensively researched. Studies link them to better estrogen ratios. This means lighter periods and comfortable PMS management. In one trial, women experienced less breast tenderness after consistent use.

I3C (Indole-3-Carbinol) and DIM (Diindolylmethane) are compounds derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. They are well researched to support healthy estrogen metabolism, liver detoxificaiton pathways, regulating inflammation and oxidative stress. Both of these compounds are present in the I3C DIM supplement from Seeking Health.
