Frequently Asked Questions
DIM, short for diindolylmethane, is a phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables. It metabolizes from the compound indole-3-carbinol and is stored throughout our bodies, including our liver, kidneys, brain, lungs, heart, and blood plasma.
DIM came under examination when scientists concluded that individuals who ate a diet higher in cruciferous vegetables had a lower incidence of many types of cancer, including breast and prostate cancer.
DIM is well tolerated by many people, though it does come with the possibility of a few side effects such as fatigue, brain fog, and dark urine.
The most commonly experienced side effect is a headache, which is more common in women than in men, and it can be pretty uncomfortable. Although other side effects are generally mild, the headaches can vary in severity and, for some women, are quite debilitating. To combat this side effect, decrease your dosage to half per day and work your way up, skipping a day if necessary. Taking the supplement with a meal and drinking a lot of water also helps. Headaches are thought to be a detox reaction, both from toxins in the body and excess estrogen being released and changing hormone levels. Drinking a lot of water can help flush toxins from the body more effectively. Other supplements such as activated charcoal and milk thistle may ease the transition by binding to toxins, aiding the body in their removal, and supporting the liver in its detox functions. If you develop a headache as a side effect, it will go away within a few days, and it is not a permanent fixture during DIM supplementation.
DIM’s benefits primarily include hormonal balancing and detoxification. Balancing hormones is vital for good health. Ready to feel like the best version of yourself? DIM is a phytochemical that can help to regulate your hormones, particularly estrogen. Research also shows it may open detox pathways. DIM does this in several different ways:
- DIM blocks androgen receptors, blocking testosterone’s ability to bind to these receptors.
- DIM helps encourage estrogen to metabolize into the gentle, “good” form of estrogen known as 2OHE1 instead of 16OHE1, the more aggressive, problem-causing form of estrogen, by opening the specific pathways needed for 2OHE1’s metabolism.
- DIM opens detoxification pathways by influencing specific receptors to activate, telling the body to create the enzymes necessary for detoxification.
If you suffer from hot flashes, night sweats, hormonal acne, premenstrual disorders, or anything similar, DIM may be able to help decrease these symptoms by supporting balanced hormone levels.
If progesterone is low, it cannot work as the balancing agent for estrogen, and a condition known as estrogen dominance may occur. Aside from hormonal acne flare-ups, other symptoms include:
- Frequent bloating
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Cold hands and feet
- Mood swings
- Anxiety
- Memory problems
- Difficulty sleeping
- Hair loss
- Swollen, tender, or lumpy breasts
- Increased pain and cramping during menstruation
For men only:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Enlarged breasts (a condition known as gynecomastia)
- Fertility problems
High estrogen levels, creating a state of estrogen dominance, happen for many reasons. Certain medications increase estrogen levels, including estrogen replacement therapy, often prescribed to women entering menopause. Other causes of high estrogen levels include:
- Hormonal contraceptives
- Some herbal remedies
- Some antibiotics
- Obesity
- Liver disease
- Ovarian tumors
- Xenoestrogens in our environment, toxins, and chemicals that mimic estrogen in our bodies and disrupt our endocrine system
Although not widely agreed upon in the medical world, estrogen dominance does occur, but the exact reason is unclear. We once believed that every estrogen dominant woman had low progesterone levels, but further research found that was not the case. So many things may cause a rise in estrogen levels, whether an environmental factor, something in your diet or a lifestyle factor. The underlying question is whether a lack of adequate progesterone causes estrogen dominance to counteract it, but every woman is unique. Having hormone levels checked by a medical professional is the only way to understand your body chemistry.
Symptoms of hormone imbalance occur at any time in life, from the teenage years onwards. Many health conditions have an underlying component of hormonal imbalance. Too often, the symptoms are the focus instead of the real problem. DIM may be able to help with the following:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Acne, including painful cystic acne
- Mood swings
- Difficulty losing weight
- Stubborn belly fat
- Fatigue
- Difficulty sleeping
- Headaches
- Memory problems
- Hair loss
- PMS symptoms
When hormone levels are in check, with more “good” estrogen than “bad,” progesterone and testosterone levels where they should be, our bodies return to a state of homeostasis or balance. It no longer rages against us in the form of night sweats, fatigue, hot flashes, headaches, or mood disturbances. Our bodies have an easier time shedding excess weight and maintaining a healthy weight. Hormones regulate our bodies, so it's easy to see that it translates throughout our entire body when they’re unbalanced! In essence, regulate your hormones, and you will regulate everything else.
