User Reviews for diindolylmethane

I have started taking this for cystic acne. Within 24 hours of taking, I got a throbbing headache and have them daily, but have been taking in the morning. I'm going to try moving my dosage to the evening because the headaches (3 days now) are seriously exhausting. I have not seen any immediate change in my acne, but also want to try it for 30 days and hoping the headaches go away. I'm taking 200mg/day from Smokey Mountain Nutrition.

Two weeks after starting taking DIM, I got severe diarrhea which lasted for two months. After trying to think of what caused it and going through many tests, I stop taking it. Three days later the diarrhea stopped. That leads me to believe it was caused by DIM.

I have been taking DIM plus for extreme oily and hormonal acne prone skin. After over a month of use my skin is great. I saw improvement after a few days. So far so good.

I take 400mg every day for estrogen dominance. It cleared up all my issues- hair loss, ovarian cysts and fibroid and extreme mood swings.

Have elevated PSA. Took 400mg daily for four days. Blood pressure went from an average of 145/90 to 175/100 - stopped taking the pills.

I purchased a maca root plus dim combination supplement by whole world botanical. Started it the end of Dec 2019. The symptoms came on gradually. I first started getting gassy and meeding to pass smelly gas more and more. I was only taking one 200 mg pill every 3 to 4 days at this point as i wanted to work my way up. I think it definitely caused digestive sensitivity bc i ate some spicey soup early Jan and my digestive track couldn't handle it. I had the worst gas for 36 hrs straight that ive ever had. My period was approaching soon after which is when things started getting wild. Back pain, headaches, body aches in my arm pit and groin area, noticed i wasn't going #2 daily like usual. I dont typically have strong pms symptoms. I got my period on the predicted day and it was shorter by 1 day. The crazy symptoms vanished during that time but then reappeared when my period was over. The week prior to my period i had been taking the pills every day for three of the days. Its 7 days post period. I still have the rotating symptom head ache or body ache. Today the body ache was prominent. Waiting for the hormone disrupting effects to wear off hopefully soon. Has anyone had similar occur and how long until normalization? I only took the supplement to try to help hormonal acne and my skin looks clear now but it wasn't worth all the pain.Read More Read Less

Started taking it for endometriosis, was previously on oral birth control but didn't like the side effects of the hormones. I've been taking 200mg of DIM once a day for 6 months and I am believer. Not only have my periods come at a regular rate, but the pain during my period went from 10 to 1-2. I was in tears before and now it is mild discomfort. I have also lost weight and my sugar cravings have gone down, but am not sure if that is related.

Sleeping better after beginning DIM

I bought these to help with spotting between periods (14 days of spotting from end of period until after ovulation). After 2 weeks of taking them I am having the most painful and heaviest period I have ever experience. Alongside this I have hot flashes and night sweats which I did not have before.

Iâ??ve been using the Smokey Mountain DIM for my hormonal acne for about 2 weeks. This WILL CAUSE PURGING, Itâ??s part of the detox. It takes time to get used to this supplement. The first week my acne got worse and I had a really bad headache the first day I took this. I almost stopped using it but Iâ??m glad I didnâ??t. I see it starting to clear up now. I also feel less bloated and even my mood has changed. Definitely recommend for PCOS.

My doctor suggested I take DIM to lower my estrogen levels, which were high for my age at the time (54). I've been taking it for three years, and my estrogen levels have remained lower.

Was having sever hot flashes throughout the day. Night sweats even worse. Started taking Smokey Mountain Naturals DIM + BioPerine (200mg) once a day, along with Spring Valley Evening Primrose Oil (1000mg) three times a day. Great results! Still have a hot flash now and then, but nothing like before. Highly recommend. Talk to your doctor first, just in case of drug interaction with any medications you are on.

The most miserable experience I ever had with a supplement. After 6 days off this stuff, itching all over still wakes me up after a few hours sleep, I feel itching deep in my muscles and urine turned orange even with doubling water intake. It is SLOWLY getting better. I am exhausted from waking up scratching myself in my sleep. Feel like a zombie.

Every time I take one of these I have an awful headache that affects my eyes and concentration. It takes a few days to subside

Took this twice,for oestrogen dominance.Both times I experienced a reaction akin to severe food poisoning eg the Novovirus.

I have been taking DIM for five months now. Before I was taking Letrozole a hormone used after breast cancer. After starting on DIM I hardly have any hot flashes at all, if any they are so mile I barely notice them.

I take DIIM plus (vit. E) 100 mg Once a day (Natures Way) along with progesterone cream (mendapause) 20 mg with 4.5 mg photoestrogens once a day (Bioprosper Labs) and no longer have hot flashes or night sweats except my 5 day break from the cream and then they are minimal. I take less than the recommended dose. Love that DIIM helps protect against breast and other cancers. I defitely believe there is something to estrogen dominance. I had surgery and went right into menopause. I tried multiple products, these are the only medications that have worked!Read More Read Less

After trying all things on earth & suffering so far for the ravages of menopause, IMMEDIATE & continued & VIABLE relief for hot flashes & very notable overall health. 200mg daily with no pharmacology added to b12, d3 & multivitmins are for me, a TRUE miracle. I have not felt this good in years. A genuine must do.
