A. Diindolylmethane (pronounced: dye-indo-leel-methane), or DIM for short, as well as indole-3 carbinol (I3C) are plant nutrients found in broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and other related vegetables. Research has shown that DIM improves the way estrogen and other reproductive hormones are metabolized in the body.* However, the research on I3C has been mixed, with some studies showing benefits and other studies having negative results. As a dietary supplement, DIM provides the exact compounds that are found in vegetables. It's fully active and ready to be absorbed, while IC3 must first be synthesized into DIM after it is digested. When combined with vitamin E and phosphatidylcholine, DIM is highly absorbable. IC3, on the other hand, has an unpredictable absorption rate. The stability of IC3 is very low compared to DIM. Some research has shown IC3 may cause certain side effects, including stomach upset and dizziness; DIM has no known side effects. Therefore, Indolplex® features active DIM. There is no I3C in the product.

A. No, Indolplex® will not increase the production of testosterone or any other reproductive hormones. It does, however, balance the ratio of testosterone to estrogen by supporting healthy testosterone metabolism.† As a result, Indolplex® helps maximize your body's response to weight training and supports increased lean muscle and improved physical conditioning.†

A. Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a naturally occurring phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables, such as raw broccoli. It takes two pounds of raw broccoli to equal the amount of DIM in one tablet of Indolplex®. The role of DIM in the body is to support healthy estrogen metabolism and hormonal balance, two factors known to prevent estrogen dominance.*

A. Indolplex® supports, restores, and maintains favorable estrogen metabolism and hormone balance for women in all stages of reproductive health.* This product has a patented delivery system to enhance absorption.* Indolplex® balances and optimizes the ratio of good estrogen metabolites (2-hydroxyestorgen) to bad estrogen metabolites (16-hydroxyestrogen).*
