IndoleGard

NutriCology IndoleGard  Promotes Healthy Estrogen DIM (diindolylmethane) has been shown to help regulate and promote a more efficient metabolism of estrogen, and an optimal ratio of estrogen metabolites. IndoleGard contains BioResponse DIM®, a unique formulation containing pure diindolylmethane, an indole. Indoles are plant compounds with health-promoting properties, and are found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. The phytochemicals in cruciferous vegetables have been shown to beneficially affect the body’s hormonal and detoxification systems, and epidemiological studies support the health benefits of consuming these vegetables. Key Features:  Promotes healthy estrogen metabolism and balance Helps promote the conversion of estrogen to its beneficial, protective 2-hydroxyestrone metabolites and reduces production of genotoxic 16α-hydroxyestrone Stimulates detoxification enzyme systems Ingredients Serving Size: 4 Vegetarian Capsules Amount/Serving BioResponse DIM® 300 mg (A proprietary Diindolylmethane complex - starch, DIM (25% min.), vitamin E (as tocophersolan), phosphatidylcholine (sunflower), silica)  Other Ingredients: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, rice hull concentrate, gum arabic, sunflower oil.

More Info DIM is a major active acid-catalyzed derivative of one of the phytochemicals in cruciferous vegetables, indole-3-carbinol (I3C). DIM is thought to be responsible for the health effects of dietary I3C. IndoleGard is a stable, bioavailable form of DIM, made possible through a proprietary delivery system. The formula is co-solubilized with phosphatidylcholine, and microencapsulated in starch particles. Research over the past thirty years has determined that healthy estrogen metabolism is closely linked to several healthy parameters in men and women, particularly some involving the breast, uterus, prostate and other reproductive tissue. Genetics, excess weight, poor diet and other lifestyle factors may result in an imbalance of estrogen metabolites. Xenoestrogenic compounds, such as organochlorine pesticides, can also significantly disrupt healthy estrogen metabolism.  It is becoming increasingly apparent that DIM may provide an important mechanism for supporting successful aging despite the increasing levels of xenoestrogenic compounds in our modern world.
