Seeking Health DIM & I3C - Support Healthy Liver Metabolism of Estrogen - Formula with DIM & I3C to Support Healthy Cellular Response - 400 mg, 60 Capsules

My naturopath recommended this specific product to help regulate my hormones. She thinks it's a real high quality brand.

I've been taking this supplement for the past 3 months. They have made a HUGE difference in my skin. I use to have horrible cystic acne throughout the month, but this (along with several Pure Encapsulations vitamin / mineral supplements) turned my skin around in 6 weeks. It use to take me 30 min just to cover up my acne with makeup in the mornings, but now I'm finished in less than 10 minutes - or can even go without makeup now! If you are suffering from adult PMS acne, go on YouTube and watch "The 7 Different Types Of Acne by Amanda Ridout". She and pharmacist Ben Fuchs talk about specific supplements for each type of acne. I followed Ben's exact instruction on the "Premenstrual Acne" video. Pantothenic Acid (B5): three 500mg capsules 2 to 3/day, Zinc: one 30mg capsule 2/day, B6 Complex: 1/day (I use Pure Encapsulations brand), high quality Multivitamin / Mineral (I used Women's Nutrients by Pure Encapsulations 6/day), Thorne Calcium D-Glucarate (2/day), and Seeking Health DIM+I3C (2/day), Vitamin A (15K IU Palmitate): 1/day, Vitamin D (5K IU): 1/day, high quality probiotic (1/day). I know it sounds like a lot of supplements, but I suffered with premenstrul acne for 3 years after I stopped taking birth control and taking these supplements every day is a piece of cake compared to dealing with the emotional drama of facing acne in the mirror every morning. My skin was simply crying out for nutrients so it could heal itself... and it took me 3 long years to finally figure it out. But now I appreciate every morning when I look in the mirror with clear skin! It is amazing what simple vitamins and minerals can do. No Rx needed.

As far as I can tell it is a great supplement. I like the purity, if there is such a thing, and that it is a combination because both dim and i3c are good but conflicting info on which is better for healing. It is part of a regimen I've started to reverse high grade cervical dysphasia because I don't want the surgery. My true faith for healing is in God and I trust He will guide me along this journey.As I mentioned this is one element of my new regimen so I'm not sure yet, BUT, in 3 weeks time so far I have been very regular and have stopped the need of my HRT (54 yrs old, post menopause) no need for herbal laxative , sleep aid or antihistamine. In my search I found thetruthaboutcancer.com, a global quest, among other homeopathy programs available to be very enlightening. I also try to take a 30 minute walk as many days a week as possible. I am in no way an expert or suggesting I am qualified to give medical advice, I'm only sharing my story because with God all things are possible. God bless!

There's an article on the Eat Beautiful blog that talks about using DIM for insomnia. DIM balances hormones and prevents or corrects excess estrogen. I take one each night before going to bed, and it's totally helped me overcome chronic insomnia. I'm in perimenopause, so excess estrogen is something that I needed to overcome. But DIM doesn't just detox estrogen; it balances. I also use this supplement for my son's acne, which has had nothing short of amazing results, within one week. I like that this product doesn't have a lot of extra ingredients. DIM is also used by body builders (and those with man boobs) because it prevents testosterone from being converted into estrogen. DIM has a few co-factors that are talked about in the article: B12 and folate.

I was having an issue with digesting these pills like many others but I found the same issue with other brands so I went back to this one but this time was different. It looked different so I smashed it and saw dark specks inside so I check the ones in the bottle and the capsules were molded on the inside. I usually check the expire dates but this one slipped by and my new bottle I received in December expired over a year ago! For someone with a deathly mold allergy.. this is a significant problem!!. At first I thought I had caught a virus or something but the symptoms aggressively changed and I knew it wasn’t that. My joints were locking up, my thumb wouldn’t even bend,skin issues, brain fog, migraines,blurred vision, severe pain throughout my body and more.. My doctor scheduled me to come in for testing because of his concern of my sudden drastic decline in health with unexplainable symptoms. Luckily I figured out that I was being poisoned and each day I’ve gotten significantly better since I stopped taking it and started taking supplements to flush it out fast. I guess it was a blessing that those pills wouldn’t completely dissolve, it could have been worse. FYI…it was shipped directly from the manufacturer. I took the time to write this which I don’t usually do, I just don’t want anyone else to get sick from it..

I have the BRCA-1 gene and had a double dose of cancer from it. Had surgery for ovarian and breast cancer 1-1/2 years ago but opted out of the chemo and radiation. They still wanted me to be on the Tamoxifen since my cancer was estrogen sensitive but the side effects are horrendous. I did research and found this to be even more effective according to the studies done. I am not suggesting anyone else try it but for me, it was the answer. 5/10/17 Thought I would update. BTW, my naturalpathic doctor recomended this kind of product and I also read about this kind of product in Life Extension magazine and they said it was much more effective than the regular drugs according to the research done. It has now been over 3 years and still doing very well. No signs of cancer. (I also have changed my diet completely to natural/organic/vegan/gluten free and now grain free.)
