DIM: good aromatase inhibitor or male toxin? » TESTONATION

DIM is more likely to castrate you than help with estrogen. DIM is meant to help lower excess estrogen, but it has a dark side. Let’s dive in. Quick background on DIM Cruciferous vegetables contain glucobracissin, which is converted to I3C and ultimately acid-catalyzed to an I3C dimer (better...

TLDR: It's quite ridiculous that they throw this ingredient into testosterone boosters. It's supposedly used to lower estrogen by inhibiting aromatase and promoting estrogen detox. But that's very unlikely to happen. Plus, DIM might have additional side effects such as being an androgen antagonist.

Have you ever used DIM and if so, what's been your experience?

I never really considered taking it internally, but what are your thoughts using it as a sort of oral mouthwash used to disrupt cariogenic biofilms?

3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM): A Potential Therapeutic Agent against Cariogenic Streptococcus mutans Biofilm

Indole, a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan, has been proven to act as a signal molecule in bacteria, acting in different aspects of biofilm formation. The oral biofilm is a type of biofilm that has consequences for human health. It is a complex, three-dimensional structure that develops...

Interesting, seems good to me! It would be in interesting experiment.
