Key Research

DIM supplementation favorably altered estrogen metabolite ratios (2:16 ratio) in postmenopausal women

Thomson CA et al. (2017). Cancer Prevention Research

DIM at 108mg daily significantly increased urinary 2-hydroxyestrone levels in both men and women

Dalessandri KM et al. (2004). Journal of Nutrition

Interaction Warnings

Hormone-sensitive medications

DIM alters estrogen metabolism; may affect hormone therapies, birth control, or tamoxifen

CYP1A2 substrates

DIM may induce CYP1A2 enzyme, affecting metabolism of caffeine and certain medications

Synergies

Sulforaphane

Complementary cruciferous compounds; DIM modulates estrogen metabolism while sulforaphane activates Nrf2 detoxification

Calcium D-Glucarate

D-Glucarate inhibits beta-glucuronidase, preventing reabsorption of estrogen conjugates that DIM helps form
