Enzymatic Therapy EstroBalance supports healthy estrogen metabolism. Many women today have high estrogen levels due to stress, diet and environmental factors. When estrogen levels are high, often referred to as estrogen dominance, progesterone levels are low and this increases your need for hormone support. Hormone levels affect your body in many ways and can result in fatigue, mood-swings and difficulty losing weight.
EstroBalance is a safe, natural formula containing DIM from Indolplex. DIM needs to be specially processed to have an effect on hormone levels, so this unique formula is designed for easy absorption by the body. EstroBalance also supports breast wellness and healthy cell development.
FAQs
Why does EstroBalance women’s health use DIM and not I3C?
Diindolylmethane (pronounced: dye-in-doll-methane), or DIM for short, as well as indole-3 carbinol (I3C) are plants nutrient found in broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and other related vegetables. Research has shown that DIM improves the way estrogen and other reproductive hormones are metabolized in the body.† However, the research on I3C has been mixed, with some studies showing benefits and other studies having negative results.
As a dietary supplement, DIM provides the exact compounds that are found in vegetables. It’s fully active and ready to be absorbed, while IC3 must first be synthesized into DIM after it’s digested. When combined with vitamin E and phosphatidylcholine, DIM is highly absorbable. IC3, on the other hand, has an unpredictable absorption rate. The stability of IC3 is very low compared to DIM’s, too. Some research has shown IC3 may cause certain side effects, including stomach upset and dizziness; DIM has no known side effects. Therefore, EstroBalance features active DIM. There is no I3C in the product.
Can I take EstroBalance women’s health if I am taking birth control pills?
Yes, you may. Research has shown that EstroBalance does not cause any interference with birth control pills or other types of contraceptives, including the vaginal ring or skin patch. In a study of young women taking oral contraceptives (OCs) and DIM together, no significant side effects – including contraceptive failure - were noted.
Will EstroBalance increase my estrogen levels?
No. Diindolylmethane (DIM), the key ingredient in EstroBalance, does not have any direct effect on the levels of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. EstroBalance does not increase or decrease the amount any of these reproductive hormones circulating in your bloodstream. It does, however, change the way that your body metabolizes them. When estrogen is metabolized to an undesirable group of metabolites, it can cause an imbalance in all of the reproductive hormones. EstroBalance simply shifts the metabolism of estrogen to a beneficial group of estrogen metabolites called 2-hydroxy and 2-methoxyestrogens. These so- called "good estrogens" restore hormonal balance and provide powerful antioxidant action, reducing free radical damage to our cells.
Can I take EstroBalance with DIM if I have a family history of breast, uterine, testicular, prostate, or any other kind of cancer?
Because EstroBalance does not increase or decrease the amount of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone in our bodies, it has does not pose any harm to people with a personal or family history of these or any other kinds of cancer.
