Tag: Dim vs i3c

While diets rich in cruciferous vegetables are associated with a lower cancer risk, supplementing with high doses of indole-3-carbinol (I3C) can cause adverse effects. This raises a critical question for supplement users: can you have too much indole-3-carbinol?

Over 75% of Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) ingested is converted into Diindolylmethane (DIM) in the stomach. This critical fact highlights the central question of whether it is better to take DIM or Indole-3-Carbinol directly for targeted health benefits, especially for hormone metabolism.
