DIM

🌿 What Is DIM?

DIM = Diindolylmethane

It’s a natural compound formed when your body digests cruciferous vegetables, like:

• Broccoli 🥦

• Cauliflower

• Brussels sprouts

• Kale

• Cabbage

You could get DIM from food, but you’d need to eat a lot of broccoli — supplements make it practical.

🧬 What DIM Supplements Do

1. Balances estrogen

DIM doesn’t lower estrogen outright — it helps your body:

• Convert estrogen into healthier forms

• Reduce “bad” estrogen metabolites linked to bloating, fat gain, acne, and hormone issues

This is why DIM is popular for:

• Hormonal acne

• PMS

• Estrogen dominance

• Menopause symptoms

2. Supports testosterone (indirectly)

Especially in men:

• Helps prevent excess testosterone → estrogen conversion

• Can support a better testosterone-to-estrogen ratio

• Often included in men’s hormone support supplements

3. Skin & mood benefits

Many users notice:

• Clearer skin

• Less water retention

• More stable mood during hormonal swings
