DIM Supplement 250mg (Diindolylmethane)-Plus Dong Quai, Natural Vitamin E & BioPerine - Supports Menopause Relief & Hormonal Acne -Hormone Balance Support for Women and Men-Veggie Caps

My husband had switched to a organic hormone therapy and after several months, he revisited his doctor to discuss the effects he was expecting but not. The doctor being organic only, gave him a boost but also suggested him to take Dim as its an estrogen blocker. So he asked me to order some for him. I read over the reviews and noticed these were all really marketed towards women, not men. And the dosage she suggested was very low compared to what all the brands were promoting but I told him that was all I could find. He started taking it and I decided I would join him to see if I could tell a difference. I paid no attention too much, but several weeks later, I started noticing clothes fitting loose than prior. I was mainly hoping for a bit of mood relief for the monthly cycle, especially with being diagnosed with PMDD after my 2nd child was born. I was feeling better without the extreme irritability the day before and I was burning more fat. The product did not have appetite suppressing behavior, which was good, as I eat for fuel. Training Jiu Jitsu 3-5 times a week, I don\'t need to stop eating, but would like to see the efforts of the hard work paying off. I only dropped 5 lbs, which was great, but the fat loss was very obvious. I wasn\'t truly convinced until I met a friend for lunch and she made the comment that I lost too much weight and need to stop. I\'ve been taking only 1 dose every morning, and keeping it part of my daily regime. I like how the intent to take this was just to help with PMS/PMDD symptoms, not as a weight loss supplement. The fact that the supplement helped there, was a bonus and I feel so much better now that I have been on it. One thing I do recommend, I\'ve always done this at the suggestion of a doctor was to alternate supplements. What they meant was to take the supplements for a certain amount of time, but every once in a while rotate a different one in so that the system doesn\'t adapt to it based on the other ingredients that are added to them. I rotate between this brand and another brand and get really good continued results.

I wrote a long essay on my hormonal cystic acne battle journey for the past 2 years, but I'll just cut to it and say my last act [before calling derm] of buying a whole mess of products to work on the acne worked (for the most part).Products I am currently using in conjunction with this:supplements:DIMThrone S.A.T.Burndock rootface cleansers:cerave daily cleanser Green white bottle (only at night after using clean and clear first)Clean and clear daily essentials facial cleanser (use it AM and PM)Thayers toner with a drop of tea tree oil on cotton balll (AM and PM)serums: (apply both AM and PM)vitamin C serumvitamin B serummoisturizers: (apply in AM)cerave daily moisturizer blue white bottlecerave 30spf sunscreen moisturizer facial (i don't use this anymore because after applying serum and then this causes white flaking)Retin A moisturizer (apply PM)scar treatment (I got A LOT of post inflammatory erythema)mederma spf30 (apply AM and PM)After performing this routine for the past 4 weeks, active acne has slowed to a crawl. I only notice 1 or 2 small whiteheads int he morning which clears away after AM routine.I have been trying to keep a clean diet (before I would be eating burger and fries for lunch every work day). It seems something with high sugar content will cause whiteheads to appear within 4 hours. So I guess I'll have to keep being on a strict diet and just have a cheat meal once in a while.I'm too cheap to get scars and PIE corrected with laser treatment, hopefully this mederma stuff fixes the PIE. It seems to be working really well for recent scars but much slower for older scars.Well, hopefully this info helps someone with a similar situation. I chose the shotgun method and bought all these products and stuck with it for 4 weeks. With acne results it takes time, although I did notice results within the first week. and I'm pretty sure it was the DIM correcting my hormone imbalance. Everything else is just for skin care.

This product has done so much for my hormonal acne in just 5 weeks, it's crazy. I can't say enough. My face has been in pain for years from it, not to mention the embarrassment. My only concern is about how this may be interacting with my birth control. I had done a lot of research before purchasing and came to understand that there are a lot of questions surrounding how/if it interacts. I am getting married in September and chose to take the risk. I have noticed now that my period came before I got to my week of dummy pills which is not typical. This makes me think that it may be truly interacting for me. This is why I gave it 4 stars and wanted to make sure to share my warning. I now have to weight the pros and cons. Judge for yourself from the pic of before and after as far as the pros. It stopped acne dead in it's tracks that could not be stopped for 12 years during which I had tried everything else under the sun.
