DIM hormone balance

DIM is a notable player in the modulation of pathways linked to oestrogen metabolism. It influences the pathways through which oestrogen is metabolised in the liver. There are both beneficial and less favourable pathways for estrogen metabolism, and DIM promotes the healthier pathway, leading to a balance of its forms in the body.

Furthermore, DIM also impacts the activity of certain enzymes, like cytochrome P450 enzymes, which play a role in detoxifying oestrogens. By influencing these enzymes, DIM ensures that oestrogens are broken down into their less potent and less harmful forms, reducing the risk of oestrogen-driven diseases, including certain types of cancer.

Benefits for men: DIM is a potent aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase is an enzyme that converts testosterone into oestrogen. By inhibiting this enzyme, DIM can help maintain higher levels of testosterone while simultaneously reducing excess oestrogen levels. This hormonal balance is particularly beneficial for men in maintaining prostate health, improving metabolism, and supporting overall well-being. Studies have shown that a balanced hormone profile can significantly impact many facets of men’s health including weight management, mood, and sexual health.

DIM and menopause:

During menopause, oestrogen levels naturally decline, leading to a variety of symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and more. One might wonder why one would want to inhibit aromatase and potentially further lower oestrogen levels during menopause. The answer lies in the type of oestrogen being produced and its balance with other hormones.

Type of Oestrogen: There are multiple forms of oestrogen in the body, including oestradiol, oestrone, and oestriol. Some forms are more potent and have different effects on tissues like the breast and uterus. DIM promotes a healthier balance of these forms.

Oestrogen Dominance: Even though oestrogen levels drop during menopause, many women experience what's known as "oestrogen dominance," where there is too much oestrogen relative to progesterone. This imbalance can contribute to weight gain, mood swings, and other symptoms.

Testosterone to oestrogen: As women age, more of their testosterone can be converted into oestrogen. By inhibiting aromatase, DIM helps maintain more balanced levels of both hormones.

DIM will improve hormonal balance, which can manifest as reduced PMS symptoms in women or improved prostate health in men.

It helps to maintain a healthier balance of testosterone and oestrogen for both men and women. Improving energy levels and may have anti-cancer properties.

Other indicators can include clearer skin, reduced bloating, or a decrease in hormonal-driven mood fluctuations.
