Diindolylmethane might act like estrogen in the body, or might also block estrogen effects. So more research is necessary.
I will sacrifice myself and get titties as long as I have good teeth!
edit who am I kidding, I already have removedtiddies
DIM doesn’t increase estrogen, it reduces it. It forces the body to metabolize estradiol into 2-hydroxyestrone, which cannot be converted back to estradiol and has lower binding affinity, so it just gets pissed out. It’s often used for breast and thyroid cancer treatments.
So yeah, this could be really bad for women.
