5% Nutrition Core Series DIM is a comprehensive formula that contains 325 mg of 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM). However, we have further improved this formula by including ingredients that will help DIM to be more effective or better absorbed.

What is DIM?
Before we delve into the benefits of DIM, let’s understand that DIM is derived from Indole-3-Carbinol. It is a phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts and cabbage that the body breaks down into various molecules; one of those molecules is 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM).

What are the advantages of DIM ?

First, it has a positive effect on estrogen regulation, helping to block the conversion of excess testosterone into estrogen. By maintaining hormonal balance, DIM can reduce the negative side effects of having too much estrogen in the body.
When estrogen levels are out of balance, the body can store extra fat and undermine your goals of a toned and lean body. With proper diet and exercise, DIM can help you shed extra fat and prevent the formation of new fat cells.

A natural energy booster, DIM can also support your body’s estrogen metabolism, help fight fatigue, reduce stress symptoms, and give you the focus you need to get through the day.

DIM for Men
If you’re on or coming off an aggressive supplement program, you’re obviously concerned about hormone balance. The priority is to restore normal testosterone levels. Another priority is estrogen control. This is because too much estrogen can cause several unpleasant problems in men, such as increased belly fat and “man breasts”. It also causes a lack of energy and slower muscle growth.

The body naturally converts excess testosterone into estrogen through a process called aromatization. This is usually a good thing because it helps keep your hormones in balance. However, when your testosterone levels are higher than normal, your estrogen levels also increase.

What happens when you finish your cycle? Your natural testosterone levels are low and need time to return to normal. However, estrogen reacts to the higher level you test during your cycle. This means that the level of estrogen is too high.

DIM for women
DIM helps a woman’s body create the right balance of “good estrogens” and “bad estrogens.” In short, estrogens are a group of hormones that occur naturally in both men and women. Both men and women need a certain level to maintain normal health. As estrogen breaks down in the body, its metabolites can help or harm a woman’s health. This is why they are called “bad” and “good” estrogen metabolites. “Good” estrogen metabolites are characterized by high antioxidant activity. “Bad” estrogen metabolites cause unwanted changes in body composition. This means that we want to increase the ratio of good metabolites to bad metabolites. DIM supports this process.(1)

Benefits of “Good” Estrogen
It should be noted that in both men and women, DIM helps improve overall metabolism. This is because it is a natural regulator of energy metabolism. In other words, it helps convert stored fat into energy. “Good” estrogens also help reduce inflammation. This can help reduce soreness after exercise. This is a positive effect of normal estrogen levels.(2)

PRODUCT INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
DIM – 325 mg
As mentioned, DIM is derived from indole-3-carbinol. It is a phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli etc. DIM has a positive effect on estrogen metabolism and helps inhibit the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. It also helps reduce the effects of estrogen on the body. This in turn keeps hormones in balance and helps prevent muscle loss. These benefits will help you achieve your body composition goals.(3)

Calcium D-glucarate – 250 mg
It is a calcium salt consisting of calcium and glucaric acid. It is a chemical compound found naturally in the body. It is also found in foods such as broccoli, oranges, apples and grapefruit. It works with DIM to enhance the regulatory effects of estrogen. It does this by helping to reduce estrogen levels in the body.(4)

Organic Broccoli Powder – 50mg
This ingredient is rich in nutrients such as vitamins C and K. Both DIM and Glucolic Acid are derived from vegetables such as broccoli. Studies show that this compound works synergistically with DIM. This ingredient promotes healthy, normal estrogen function.

Bioperine® Black Pepper Extract – 5mg
This is a patented form of black pepper that improves nutrient absorption. After all, if your body can’t absorb the supplements you spent a lot of money on, what’s the point!? Be sure to maximize your value and only purchase a DIM product with enhanced absorption properties.
