It is found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, red cabbage and cauliflower. DIM is a metabolite of a type of organic phytochemical compound called indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and research suggests that an indole-rich diet can decrease the risk of a variety of cancers and decrease excess estrogen levels. It is claimed that this compound can boost metabolism and balance hormones in favor of testosterone production. It does so by increasing the amount of free, available testosterone by preventing the protein 'sex-hormone binding globulin' - from locking up T. The evidence at this stage is somewhat limited though. Much of the current research into the hormone regulating effects of cruciferous vegetable compounds uses I3C not DIM as a test compound - DIM is only one of a few active compounds of I3C. For that reason the evidence on isolated Diindolymethane is less clear, At this stage, regular consumption of broccoli and cauliflower would be more beneficial until clearer research becomes available.
