"DIM" stands for Diindolylmethane, a natural dietary indole found in cruciferous vegetables. DIM occurs within the cruciferous vegetable plant after crushing or chewing. Plant enzymes produce DIM from precursors called glucosinolates. When added to the diet, absorbable DIM helps balance estrogen metabolism.
DIM promotes beneficial estrogen metabolism in both women and men. Studies have shown that estrogen-related disorder risk in women relates to unfavorable estrogen metabolism. Healthy estrogen metabolism has been shown in prospective studies to be predictive of a lower risk of estrogenrelated disorders. Absorbable DIM has been shown to promote greater metabolism of estrogen to 2-hydroxy estrogens. 2-hydroxy forms of estrogen are considered beneficial. DIM promotes estrogen metabolism, but is not a plant estrogen.
Patented BioResponse DIM® is the original and only DIM with proven absorption and benefits demonstrated in independently performed clinical studies. This patented technology is currently the only nutrient delivery method that assures predictable absorption and sustained delivery of DIM. All published clinical studies have ONLY used the patented formulation of DIM, BioResponse DIM®. BioResponse DIM® is also currently the only DIM in clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. |
