Estrogen Balance
- Supports optimal estrogen metabolism for improved breast and prostate health
- Pretty much the phytonutrient equivalent of eating 2 pounds of cooked broccoli, 1 pound of cabbage, or 1/4 pound of brussels sprouts...minus the unpleasant aftereffects.
Estrogen Balance is a targeted supplement that offers the benefits of the cruciferous vegetable metabolites Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and diindolylmethane (DIM) to support proper estrogen metabolism. The combination of I3C and DIM offers an ideal blend of beneficial metabolites that work together to support estrogen balance for both men and women. Current data on I3C and DIM, suggests that these phytonutrients have strong potential for supporting breast, cervical, uterine and prostate health.1-4
