What’s people thoughts on dim?


Does it work to lower estrogen and stop estrogen sides


I’ve tried calcium d but didn’t like how it made me feel

I’m looking at a natural way of controlling estrogen on my trt

Before using aromasin


I’ve lost weight and I don’t drink


So thinking of giving dim a try see if works


Peoples input would be nice


Thank you very much

Ps I’ve been really sweating and feeling hot laterly

Don’t want to put tmi but I am a very clean and fresh guy

But been sweating and haven a odour laterly

Could this be a sign of high e2 levels

I’m due to get a blood test soon


My sleep has been rubbish as well


Thanks

Personally I've never used DIM. But this is my favorite thread on the subject. It actually made me buy some.

It would be nice if @HealthMan chimed in.

Huge increase in libido with DIM

I started taking DIM (2 capsules a day - DIM plus from Nature’s way) and my libido went through the roof (it was already good before starting DIM). So i stopped and resumed a few times to see if it was the DIM responsible for the boost in libido and it seems like it is. So if you have your lab...

What brand are you buying and what dosing are you planning on using?

 

[Scottmcty]

I’ve bought 2 different brands as I am from uk

Seems to be hard to find in uk

I’ve bought force factor dim 300mg it’s a USA company so hoping it makes it to uk

And nuke nutrition dim 150 mg

Will give them a go and see how I feel

Reviews seem ok

If not will try now foods dim as there stuff seems good

Tryed there zinc pico and boron and defo good

 

[Scottmcty]

The nuke one should be here first so will try that first Vince at 150 a day and see how I feel and then maybe try 2 caps : 300 mg a day


Was thinking of trying dim and cdg at same time

But would prefer to try one supp at a time

First dim and see how I feel

I tryed cdg and was ok then went downhill and was only 1000 mg a day

Might try dim
Only and see how I go maybe add some cdg but a very low dose of 250/500 with the dim


But one thing at a time


I’ve tryed zinc and see ok for a day or 2 then things go bad

Can make me feel miserable that’s doses around 50 pico

Or even 20mg

Your body odour is due to testosterone not estrogen. Leave estrogen alone. But still take dim. Won’t affect your estrogen in blood work, but it keeps the prostate healthy and it does work on some bad estrogens. Also people who have a very high protein diet should take dim.

Thanks. Why high protein diet and DIM?

 

[TorontoTRT]

Thanks. Why high protein diet and DIM?

Mtor signaling. High protein diets shorten life span. DIM has a role in neutralizing protein effect on mtor. There’s a few studies online to google. They explain it better.

I have naturally lower estrogen levels but I'm going to give DMI a try. I ordered some from Amazon. They will be here on Thursday. I'm off this weekend so that's when I'll start them.

One thing for sure dim in combination with cdg does is eliminate oily skin. I tend to get very oily especially forehead. But now it’s dry and normal.

 

[Scottmcty]

yeah dim is worth a try
And will give it a go see if makes me feel

And understand where your coming from about leave estrogen alone but if it’s in a unhealthy range it has to be addressed

My levels are not to high tbh but could be better

That’s why I want to try the naterual approach first before a very small aromasin dose

I’ve tryed lowering my test dose and I feel worse tbh

On 15mg Ed my estrogen came back at 49 pg

Which is not high high

But didn’t feel great

Lowered my dose and felt terrible

 

[TorontoTRT]

You need to give your body time to adjust. I’ve had estrogen even as high as 75-100. As long as your testosterone is higher there are no issues. The higher the estrogen, the higher the libido for me. Forget about lab ranges. They are not for guys on trt.

 

[Scottmcty]

What is your trt protocol then don’t mind me asking ?


Thanks

Thanks for that info. What's your DHT at? What's your Free T at? Libido? EQ? What is your age? Do you have any BPH symptoms? Why no hcg? Im always on and off hcg. Like the way it makes the boys bigger and flaccid hang, but seems to raise my E levels and I have better EQ off HCG. No DHEA or Pregnenlone? Sorry for all the questions. Even 8 years in I'm trying to get things dialed in. Thanks!
