I took this supplement when I had an acne breakout due to hormonal imbalance. It helped somewhat, but I was also taking fish oil and vitamin A. With this combo I got rid of most of it after a few weeks.
My grandmother bought alfalfa when I was a kid and had me take it. When I broke out within 2 to 3 days, the breakouts would go away because it cleared my bloodstream.
Thanks Dr Sung for your educational and simplified way explanation 👍. I'm a big crucifirous lover any kind fresh, cooked or fermented and eat a daily. 🤗 am glad that you brought that topic.
I took this first time yesterday and had severe, severe fatigue as well as severe headaches. I took two capsules yesterday and took over 24 hours for symptoms to go away. I may try again but will take just a half dose to start, I’ve never had such severe fatigue and headaches. I’m 46 with PCOS but not overweight. Hoping I can benefit from this but can’t continue to take with these symptoms.
I'm same I take 50mg morning and evening and still feeling super tired. Sometimes it makes me want to stop taking DIM, but at the same time I feel like I really need it
Are you saying for women and estrogen dominant breast cancer, DIM produces MORE estrogen? Or is this beneficial for women to keep estrogen at a more BALANCED level?
Did u say DECREASE testosterone???? As a male why would I want to take DIM. Especially, if it's going to reduce my testosterone by 26%!!! Please explain.....
Thanks for asking for clarification. I kinda wanna try some, but mainly just to lower estrogen for the sake of dropping my bmi (like 18% fat). Tired of it. But i DEFINITELY don't wanna lower my T
DIM blocks the effects of testosterone. Higher doses (greater than 100mg) of isolated pure DIM can saturate tissues and block androgen (e.g. testosterone and dihydrotestosterone) receptors and inhibit the protein synthesis induced by the anabolic effects of androgens
DIM helped me so much with my hormonal acne. I still use it. I was wondering if it was good for a teenage male? He's an athlete. His acne is pretty bad and I'm wondering if this would be good for him. He's 16. Thanks Doc.! I always recommend DIM and your video is a nice easy video to understand and share.
I have heard from a holistic practitioner that everyone should take DIM he might wanna give it a try start low with 100 mg and increase slowly up to 250 mg is what I have heard, also I use DIM for estrogen dominance it helps a lot, hope this helps
@@anaidaanaida1380 Yeah you can take it with meals or on an empty stomach.

I had an ovarian cyst of 4 cm, and decided to take DIM for a few days now but then I have my cycle this month so messed up, for the first time in my life, I have a little bleeding this month, is there any correlation?
@@jennybrodrig yes I open the capsule and take it with yogurt or something like that. I actually can't swallow pulls or capsule so would do that anyway even if I was taking a full capsule. But with this one I take half so I can't split the dose
@AnonAdhom from what I understand it does not increase estrogen, it helps reduce the bad estrogen. It does help to release free testosterone that is trapped. Everyone is different and I haven't seen anyway to determine if it is a net positive for testosterone utilization. On one hand you are freeing up more testosterone that you can use and on the other the receptor is being blocked. Some people do seem experience effects common with increased testosterone. Don't know if it's actually more testosterone or just a healthier balance of good estrogen. Possible that some people are freeing up more testosterone than is being blocked or that the block has a limited effect?
@@lostmagicdude888 I’ve been on it for a little over a month and haven’t seen any differences. But in defense of the supplement it is said that DIM takes over 30 days to work. I will continue on it until the end of April before I give my final thoughts, but so far that and the Fandogia agrestis has been a big letdown.

@@whistler8177 I stopped taking DIM because I think if you have high estrogen and low testosterone it's good to take DIM but that it can cancel out the testosterone from other supplements like d-aspartic acid. I think if you're high test low estrogen and take DIM it will do the opposite of what you want, it will make things level and even.
@@lostmagicdude888 I feel like in modern day we are forced to work with a lot of estrogenic materials, I saw somewhere we consume a credit cards worth of plastic each week. I wish there was more information and studies on this but I think I’ll pass on the dim for now…
I’d take it to increase testosterone. I have estrogen dominance and I had test ing done and I had all the classic domino affects of too high estrogen - one of which was low testosterone. In some research I found if you have high estrogen that high estrogen can somehow convert your testosterone into more estrogen. So to treat my low thyroid, low progesterone, low testosterone I’m starting with bringing down my estrogen. Then I’ll add in HRT if needed to increase the others if changing my diet and taking estrogen metabolizers doesn’t help. Fingers crossed!
Not that I know of. I've been taking 600 a day which I take half in the morning and half in the evening, I've been taking it for over 3 years and I've had no side effects and my labs are normal. The side effects occur at higher doses over what I am taking. The only side effect is gas I believe.
I started DIM Nov. 30th. 200 mg. Once a day for 6 days. I started having a metallic and salty taste in my mouth. I now, almost 30 days later still taste those things and cannot taste good. It almost gags me to eat. I’m thinking my body dumped estrogen too quickly. Please help! I’m desperate to taste good again and not have this metallic and salty taste constantly!
Dr.Jin I’m a woman and I do suffer from heavy irregular periods due to fibroids i just recently found out about Dim, I want to take it for that reason but I want to know if I take dim will it make me lose my famine shape I don’t know how it works for that reason I’m scared to take it caz it says it regulates estrogen dominance isn’t estrogen a female hormone isn’t estrogen something that should be dominant in females that’s why They’re female I hope u understand what I’m trying to say
Too much estrogen is not good. It’s like dirty estrogen in the body. You need estrogen but it needs to be in a good ratio to progesterone. I’ve been taking it a few days and I swear my thighs and butt are getting more filled out. Maybe I’m tripping lol. But I do have other side effects. Like a fatigue, headache and body aches/joint pain. But I noticed that seems to be helping with my hot flashes.
@@blossomooo I see make sense too much is extra thts not needed maybe when the ratio is balanced of the female hormones the female body shape is enhanced even more so that concern is taken care of but ur saying u been taking it for few days now n have headaches fatigue is it due to dim supplement or you had it prior to taking the dim
@@shaimaya1117 no it was definitely from the DIM. Idk if it was detoxing me or what? If I would have felt better if I kept going but I stopped. I’m gonna test my hormones this month and see what the naturopath says.
it does detox the bad estrogens in the body. it helps regulate your hormones in the process by removing the bad estrogens. you will get detox symptoms .. I only take 1 pill since 2 pills (which is my bottles recommendation) gives me too bad symptoms 1 is just right for me. @@blossomooo
Why don’t you try blending the veggies, that is what my mom used to do with me and my brothers. Now I love veggies. But sometimes I make pasta and make the salsa from different veggies.
@Carolina Hernandez I eat veggies, just not daily. I put them in smoothies and recipes. My understanding is that one DIM pill is equivalent to consuming 25lbs of broccoli, according to Dr. Sara Gottfried, who specializes in hormones. If that's true, then I pill is enough broccoli for the day.
@@sunshinesunflowerz1647 please do some research…women have estradiol in much higher amounts during pregnancy and premenopausal states. Why doesn’t it cause cancer then?
@@JesusSaves7012 Who said it doesn’t? I actually asked my gynecologist this question and she told me that there is no research supporting this claim that excess estrogen causes cancer. She said it would be difficult to even do a study on it and she has a background in research. Plus the goal is to offset estrogen with progesterone. The two hormones work to balance each other. This is why many women opt for hormone replacement therapy when they’re in perimenopause or menopause.

It has to be taken every day religiously though because it doesn't stay in the blood very long.
I had an ovarian cyst of 4 cm, and decided to take DIM for a few days now but then I have my cycle this month so messed up, for the first time in my life, I have a little bleeding this month, is there any correlation?
I have to get back to this, it lasted only 3 daya of having light blood,then it came to normal but no pain at all, I guess the DIM works
I m having my period for the second time in this month, I don't know what to do because I find it useful for loosing weight 😢
Do you take Dim
Eh? It reduces Testosterone?
Should I take 1 capsule every 12 hours? I am taking only one a day. I wonder if I am wasting the treatment taking only one a day.
I take half capsule in am and half in the evening
@@KingsDaughter. Do you open de capsule? The smell is very strong for me to do that.
@@jennybrodrig yes I open the capsule and take it with yogurt or something like that.
I actually can't swallow pulls or capsule so would do that anyway even if I was taking a full capsule.
But with this one I take half so I can't split the dose
@@KingsDaughter. Thank you
I just started taking this to help with PMS and painful periods. I'm also on Prozac (Fluoxetine) so I'm wondering if there are any adverse reactions?
Justement le prozac dérègle les hormones .attention
Does it stop the contraception pill from working!?
Says it decrease testosterone by 23%what man wants his testosterone decreased,I'll pass on that,
for real
It only does that if you're too high in testosterone, basically balances it
could specify if test is lowered by 26% or if you misspoke? others are saying similar
I think he had to, because it is marketed as halting estrogen in men which would help maintain your testosterone levels.
Because it also blocks the testosterone uptake receptor
@@samstephens3479 Does it? I have been taking DIM and scared that it might be increasing estrogen
@AnonAdhom from what I understand it does not increase estrogen, it helps reduce the bad estrogen. It does help to release free testosterone that is trapped. Everyone is different and I haven't seen anyway to determine if it is a net positive for testosterone utilization. On one hand you are freeing up more testosterone that you can use and on the other the receptor is being blocked. Some people do seem experience effects common with increased testosterone. Don't know if it's actually more testosterone or just a healthier balance of good estrogen. Possible that some people are freeing up more testosterone than is being blocked or that the block has a limited effect?
@@lostmagicdude888 I’ve been on it for a little over a month and haven’t seen any differences. But in defense of the supplement it is said that DIM takes over 30 days to work. I will continue on it until the end of April before I give my final thoughts, but so far that and the Fandogia agrestis has been a big letdown.
reducing androgens is a problem for men. we want to increase androgens
Does it help with people who have endometriosis? I hope Dr sung could reply. TIA.
Yes, there are studies about this. Google it.
I want to increase testosterone! I thought this would help, because it would lower oestrogen which is supposed to help increase testosterone??????? It arrives tomorrow... advice anyone???
Take enclomiphene with it maybe
I get very heavy periods every month but am regular. Is this going to be beneficial for me?
@@nats948i have irregular heavy bleeding due to fibroids I’m thinking about taking it how many mg ru taking and if ur still taking it what other charges did u notice if any plz share thanks
@@nats948 one more question if dim would change famine shape since it effects estrogen just wanted to make sure
@@nats948 did you notice any detox symptoms? And if so, what symptoms does she have?
I took 150mg for 20 days it and delayed my period for 2 weeeks. Maybe it took estrogen down too low im not sure. Ive cut back on the dosage now and not taking everyday so we shall see.
I m having my period for the second time in this month, I don't know what to do because I find it useful for loosing weight 😢
@@pinkvision333 are you saying the dim is making you have another period?
@asmrfoodieuk7965 yes, it's one of its rare side effects.
@@pinkvision333 I would stop taking it then, usually you need estrogen for a period to start but dim is suppose to help remove estrogen. If you are bleeding too much, you need more progesterone.
@asmrfoodieuk7965 it made me loose weight, though. It's years I couldn't loose weight
Can i combine dim with probiotics to weight management
can we take dim with the same time of taking multivitamin ?
Good question @dr ?
🙏🏾
My estrogen levals are ok now after finishing one DIM bottle. Should I continue this for heavy bleeding , acne, breast pain, mood swings??
For heavy periods it will prevent you from having huge clots and the bleeding will not be as bad. It will also reduce cramps.
@@Fritbjornhello there. Will it make you loose your womanly figure, ex, will it make your breast smaller and less hips etc.? I am wondering because I read that it is a side affect. Thanks so much.
@@StephNichelle No, my wife did not experience this, she reported fewer clots, less intense cramps, and shorter periods. She takes 400 a day, half in the morning and half before bed, has been on it for months. I have been on it for 5 years, I take 300 in the morning and 300 in the evening, male doses have to be higher.
@@StephNichelle this is not a recorded side effect of DIM, there are only gastrointestinal side effects, nothing else.
@@Fritbjorn what you tell sounds very good. Which DIM is she taking? Does you wife take it each and every day? How long did it take her until her period got lighter, shorter and the clots went away? This sounds like a holy grail. Does your wife also have too less progesterone?
And if I am having paroxetine... Can I have DIM at the same time?
Dr.Sung
Women with low estrogen and hypothyroidism can they take this supplement Or eat a lot of Cruciferous, or it will worsen their symptoms?
Yes!
Dim lowers estrogen so prob not a great idea 😊
Sorry, I dissagree. My breast size increas after 4 months consuming DIM
That would be my worst nightmare. I only want to try dim to decrease my body fat.
breast size you mean gyno or you are female ?
Drop the fried chicken as-ho
Do you currently taking new patients?
wait so I am a guy who wants higher testosterone and lower estrogen should I or should I not be taking DIM?
updates bro?
@@whistler8177 I stopped taking DIM because I think if you have high estrogen and low testosterone it's good to take DIM but that it can cancel out the testosterone from other supplements like d-aspartic acid. I think if you're high test low estrogen and take DIM it will do the opposite of what you want, it will make things level and even.
@@lostmagicdude888 thanks
@@lostmagicdude888 I feel like in modern day we are forced to work with a lot of estrogenic materials, I saw somewhere we consume a credit cards worth of plastic each week. I wish there was more information and studies on this but I think I’ll pass on the dim for now…
I’d take it to increase testosterone. I have estrogen dominance and I had test ing done and I had all the classic domino affects of too high estrogen - one of which was low testosterone. In some research I found if you have high estrogen that high estrogen can somehow convert your testosterone into more estrogen. So to treat my low thyroid, low progesterone, low testosterone I’m starting with bringing down my estrogen. Then I’ll add in HRT if needed to increase the others if changing my diet and taking estrogen metabolizers doesn’t help. Fingers crossed!
DIM gave me HORRIBLE hives & diarrhea. 😢
Can DIM cause hair loss in men?!
Not that I know of. I've been taking 600 a day which I take half in the morning and half in the evening, I've been taking it for over 3 years and I've had no side effects and my labs are normal. The side effects occur at higher doses over what I am taking. The only side effect is gas I believe.
What you was taking it for and what is your lab T and E2@Fritbjorn
I started DIM Nov. 30th. 200 mg. Once a day for 6 days. I started having a metallic and salty taste in my mouth. I now, almost 30 days later still taste those things and cannot taste good. It almost gags me to eat. I’m thinking my body dumped estrogen too quickly. Please help! I’m desperate to taste good again and not have this metallic and salty taste constantly!
I also stopped the DIM on the 10th of Dec.
I love our American freedom 🇺🇸🙂💯
Can DIM be taken along with thyroid medication?
No... Cruciferous food extract may fluctuate your thyroid hormone
Dim lowers DHT
Dr.Jin I’m a woman and I do suffer from heavy irregular periods due to fibroids i just recently found out about Dim, I want to take it for that reason but I want to know if I take dim will it make me lose my famine shape I don’t know how it works for that reason I’m scared to take it caz it says it regulates estrogen dominance isn’t estrogen a female hormone isn’t estrogen something that should be dominant in females that’s why They’re female I hope u understand what I’m trying to say
Too much estrogen is not good. It’s like dirty estrogen in the body. You need estrogen but it needs to be in a good ratio to progesterone. I’ve been taking it a few days and I swear my thighs and butt are getting more filled out. Maybe I’m tripping lol. But I do have other side effects. Like a fatigue, headache and body aches/joint pain. But I noticed that seems to be helping with my hot flashes.
@@blossomooo I see make sense too much is extra thts not needed maybe when the ratio is balanced of the female hormones the female body shape is enhanced even more so that concern is taken care of but ur saying u been taking it for few days now n have headaches fatigue is it due to dim supplement or you had it prior to taking the dim
@@shaimaya1117 no it was definitely from the DIM. Idk if it was detoxing me or what? If I would have felt better if I kept going but I stopped. I’m gonna test my hormones this month and see what the naturopath says.
@@blossomooo oh I see plz don’t forget to keep us updated when u check ur hormones and what ur naturopath Dr. Said
it does detox the bad estrogens in the body. it helps regulate your hormones in the process by removing the bad estrogens. you will get detox symptoms .. I only take 1 pill since 2 pills (which is my bottles recommendation) gives me too bad symptoms 1 is just right for me. @@blossomooo
Can I take DIM as a substitute for vegetables since I don't eat a lot of it?
There is no substitute for vegetables. It has fiber and other phytonutrients that you need.
Why don’t you try blending the veggies, that is what my mom used to do with me and my brothers. Now I love veggies. But sometimes I make pasta and make the salsa from different veggies.
@Carolina Hernandez I eat veggies, just not daily. I put them in smoothies and recipes. My understanding is that one DIM pill is equivalent to consuming 25lbs of broccoli, according to Dr. Sara Gottfried, who specializes in hormones. If that's true, then I pill is enough broccoli for the day.
@@strangerthingsaresaid7655 eat vegetables you lazy sack lmfao
PLEASE HELP! - can I take DIM while pregnant???
No!
Does dim actually hurt sex drive in men?

Can DIM or estrohalt help prostitus?
Why would the average woman want to reduce her estradiol?
If they are estrogen dominated. Too much estrogen can cause a plethora of issues for females.
Would you want breast or ovarian cancer?
@@sunshinesunflowerz1647 please do some research…women have estradiol in much higher amounts during pregnancy and premenopausal states.
Why doesn’t it cause cancer then?
It metabolizes the “bad” estrogen out so your body isn’t estrogen dominate in relation to progesterone. Creates a balance with your other hormones.
@@JesusSaves7012 Who said it doesn’t? I actually asked my gynecologist this question and she told me that there is no research supporting this claim that excess estrogen causes cancer. She said it would be difficult to even do a study on it and she has a background in research. Plus the goal is to offset estrogen with progesterone. The two hormones work to balance each other. This is why many women opt for hormone replacement therapy when they’re in perimenopause or menopause.
DECREASE testosterone??? NOPE. This is not good info. This must be a mispeak, on his part.
why did he say it? im trying to figure out if i should continue taking dim or stop, do you have any articles or videos to prove it increases testosteron, or doesn't decrease it?
