Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me if DIM is worth taking? It is fairly expensive in comparison to other supplements. Has anyone had any benefits and if so, are you still feeling them? What benefits do you feel? What are the benefits that somone should expect? Just wanted some advice before I go and purchase some.

Purchase 30 capsules in the 200mg strength and try it out. DIM is one of those things that half of the guys will say that they love it and the other half get no benefit.
 
I just read that is helps with controlling estrogen. I havent had it checked in a while and I have never had high levels but I figured it wouldn't hurt to add to my regimen.

DIM is certainly not going to crash your estradiol, but if you've no symptoms of elevated e2, and no objective labs pointing in that direction, I'd save your money.

Estradiol isn't a waste product to be ruthlessly minimized. A healthy level is needed for sexual and cognitive performance, and it maintains skeletal integrity.

That's no entirely correct, DIM *may help metabolize Estrogen's out but it will not control E.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
