                                Over 200 million bottles of dietary supplements are sold each year in the United States, yet many consumers are unaware of the contraindications associated with certain compounds, such as diindolylmethane (DIM). DIM is a compound formed during the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, a substance found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, and is often taken in supplement form to support hormonal balance. However, its complex interactions with hormones mean that not everyone should take diindolylmethane without medical supervision.
