DIM 200 together with Calcium d-glucarate helps to balance the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone

NOW DIM 200 helps promote healthy hormone metabolism by supporting your body's normal detoxification processes. Diindolylmethane, or DIM, is a natural metabolite of certain compounds found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. We included calcium D-glucarate to help support a process called glucuronidation, an important detoxification mechanism that helps remove certain environmental toxins from the body.

Calcium D-Glucarate is a relatively common nutrient found in many fruits and vegetables such as: grapefruit, apples, oranges, broccoli, spinach and Brussels sprouts. It is also produced naturally in very small amounts by the human body. This substance helps to eliminate toxins, especially carcinogenic ones. Since the body can only produce it in small quantities, it can be supplemented orally. Calcium D-Glucarate inhibits beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme produced by the microflora in the colon and which is involved in Phase II of liver detoxification.


Calcium D-Glucarate lowers the level of glucuronidase and thereby allows the body to eliminate carcinogens (chemicals that cause cancer). Elimination of carcinogens is mainly through the feces, therefore a clean colon is needed for the rapid transit of carcinogenic toxins and rapid elimination through the feces.


The excess presence of beta-glucuronidase is directly related to increased risks for the occurrence of cancers such as colon, breast, prostate, lung, etc. Another beneficial effect of calcium D-Glucarate supplementation is the regulation of estrogen metabolism (especially in women) and the reduction of lipid levels.







Researchers believe that this nutrient helps the body eliminate many harmful substances and helps lower abnormally high levels of steroid hormones including estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. Both effects may help protect against the development of certain tumors.


DIM is a natural, active metabolite involved in balancing hormonal levels. More precisely, it influences the metabolism of estrogens - steroid hormones secreted by the ovaries, adrenal cortex, testicles and placenta. Present in both women and men, these hormones play different roles inside the body. However, despite their importance, they can be present at excessive levels in the body and cause a number of problems.

Hormonal imbalance can cause fatigue, migraines, muscle and joint pain, mood changes, reduced libido, irregular and painful periods, as well as certain prostate problems. Excess estrogen can also promote the accumulation of fat cells, especially on the stomach and thighs.

The exact mechanism of action is unknown, but doctors Michael Zelig and Scott Connelly state in the book "All about DIM" that some benefits are probably derived from the fact that DIM helps to balance the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone. They explain that when estrogen is broken down in your body, it can either form beneficial or harmful estrogenic metabolites, and DIM helps your body break down estrogen into the beneficial type. Beneficial estrogen metabolites have antioxidant properties and help protect the heart and brain from free radical damage.

Diindolylmethane also appears to promote a healthy balance of testosterone in the body. Testosterone supports energy, promotes a happy mood and helps maintain a healthy sex life. In addition, Zeligs claims that DIM may have an anti-aging effect and may help encourage lean body mass. When combined with exercise, it can increase muscle mass.
