Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As with all hormone modulators, you should consult a doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant. If you are, like me, passed that point in your life and can engage in hormone manipulation to your heart's content, these pills are a gift from God. I take six to eight per day, and the dosage needed for each of you will be as varied as the all of you are, with all of us having different levels of estrogen overload to combat, so my dose may not apply to you or work for you or could be too much. I had a significant estrogen problem when I found this supplement and decided to try it, as a last ditch effort before a surgical procedure I hoped to avoid. At the dose of six to eight per day, three to four twice a day, depending on how I am feeling, I have found my waistline decreasing, my face clearing up, my mood improving, my cycle involving far less pain and far less, shall we say, upset by unpleasantness we estrogen dominant women are all too familiar with. I began with two per day, 25 mg of the pure substance, saw no results, upped to four, saw slight improvement, upped to six and found that is enough for me some days, then used eight and found what I need about half of the time, so between 75 mg and 100 mg works best for me. One woman in my family takes 200 mg for a severe problem and I know a woman who takes one pill, only 12.5 mg for a minor issue and then ups to two or three pills on her cycle, just for a few days each month. Again, we are all different and there is no substitute for trial and error and finding the right dose. And for confirmation of efficacy, when someone died and I fell into a deep depression mere days after I had run out of this miracle substance, I forgot to reorder and didn't take it for nearly three months. I gained almost ten pounds while eating less than I normally do, sometimes not eating at all. It was only when my pants were way too tight that I started thinking about causes of extreme weight fluctuations and saw the empty bottle turned upside down in the cabinet, indicating that I was out and needed to reorder. I ordered immediately, paying for same day shipping, and took twelve each day for two days, then ten for about a week, then resumed eight to six, to clear out as much excess estrogen as I could in a short amount of time. After a few more months of taking it, the weight came back off. DIM is as effective as the many circulating studies have shown it is, at binding to estrogen and purging it from our systems, and the dose you will need is entirely dependent on how much estrogen you need to bind. A good doctor can help with that but so can good old common sense. If you have hormonal acne, abnormal weight gain, mood swings, etc. you will be able to see when you are feeling better and looking better. If you go too far, you will notice problems in the other direction, a loss of femininity, which is a unique feeling, even voice changes. It is easy to find a good dose as you should feel significantly better when most of your excess estrogen is being dealt with and when you are not taking too much of it out of your system. When you feel like yourself, what you recognize as yourself, before the hormone nightmare, stop there and try that dose for a while. Don't overdo it and good luck with your estrogen. Thank God we have access to this stuff. I really used to just eat a bag of broccoli a day, making myself sick, as you actually can eat too much of overly fibrous vegetables and end up binding yourself up and causing malnutrition, and it was never as effective as even the worst DIM product I tried. This is the best.
