Bio Response® Dim = Healthy estrogen & metabolism for women and men

Estrogen imbalance. It’s a major contributor to perimenopause, premenstrual syndrome and unhealthy prostate glands. In fact, changing estrogen levels are relevant both to Women and men.

Medical research shows these midlife concerns are not due to estrogen itself, but to problems with estrogen metabolism. Fortunately, leading experts have discovered natural nutrients that help restore estrogen balance. One such nutrient, diindolylmethane, actually helps promote healthier estrogen metabolism when it’s consumed in a highly absorbable form.

What is diindolylmethane, and what are its benefits?

Diindolylmethane is an indole plant nutrient found in cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Yet unlike other plant nutrients such as soy isoflavones, diindolylmethane has unique and distinct hormonal benefits. It supports the activity of specific enzymes that improve estrogen metabolism. Scientific research shows diindoly]methane increases the level of “good” estrogens (2-hydroxyestrogcn) while reducing the level of “bad” estrogens (16-hydroxyestrogen).

The health benefits of “enhanced absorption” diindolylmethanc are four-fold:

1.promotes healthy estrogen metabolism. * 

2.relieves PMS symptoms.* 

3.promotes fat loss. * 

4.supports healthy breast, cervical, uterine and prostate tissues.*

Why enhanced absorption?

Diindolylmethane is normally insoluble in water and fats, making it poorly absorbed by the body. But when combined with vitamin E and phosphatidylcholine, diindolylmethane becomes bioavailable. BioResponsetmDIMis a unique formula containing Vitamin E, Calcium, Phosphatidyl Choline and Bioprene™

How is diindolylmethane different than indole-3-carbinol?

Indole-3-carbinol (13C) is the unstable and inactive precursor to diindolyl­methane. 13C first has to be converted into diindolylmethane while in the digestive tract in order to become active. The degree of conversion can vary significantly depending upon each individual’s stomach acid pH level, diet and other physiological factors. Just how much diindolylmethane you’re getting from 13C is unpredictable. But with BioResponsetm DIM, you are assured a consistent dose of diindolylmethane with each and every capsule.

Why not just eat more cruciferous vegetables?

To get the same health benefit as two capsules of  DIM,  you would have to eat nearly two pounds of raw or lightly cooked broccoli. For many people, broccoli is delicious, but try to eat that amount consistently everyday!

What isthe proper dose of DIM-plus™

In his paperback book, All About DIM (Avery, 2000), Dr. Zeligs recommends women take 100 to 200 mg of “enhanced absorption~~ diindolylmethane daily.

For fat loss he notes a daily dose of 300 mg was helpful as part of an overall weight management program. Men, however, should take up to 400 mg per day when they are engaged in exercise training programs.

With BioResponsetm DIM,  it’s easy to match Dr. Zeligs’ recommended dosage as each tablet contains 150 mg of  diindolylmethane.

Bio Response Breast Balance® 
Achieve breast comfort. Recent studies confirm that chronic, recurrent breast pain is a major health concern for women. BioResponse DIM supplements were studied in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial and were shown to promote breast comfort and healthy estrogen metabolism.

Breast Balance™ combines patented microencapsulated Diindolylmethane with Vitamin D and an Elemental blend™ including Iodine and Selenium.
WARNING: Women who are pregnant, planning to get pregnant or nursing should not take DIM.

Women who are using oral contraceptives (birth control pills) should consult with a health care professional before taking this product. Persons taking prescription medications should consult with a health care professional before using this product. Individuals with allergies to corn or soy should not take the product as some of the ingredients in the patented formulation are derived from these sources. Harmless changes in urine color may occur with the use of this product. Store in a cool, dry place.

Breast Balance™ contains:

Patented BioResponse DIM®,
the original and only DIM with proven absorption and benefits demonstrated in independently performed clinical studies. This patented technology is currently the only nutrient delivery method that assures predictable absorption and sustained delivery of DIM. All published clinical studies have ONLY used the patented formulation of DIM, BioResponse DIM®. BioResponse DIM® is also currently the only DIM in clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute.

Vitamin D3
Recent studies support both the safety and potential benefits of increased daily Vitamin D intake. Breast Balance provides 600 I.U.’s of Vitamin D per capsule which provides for supplementation within current suggested intakes of Vitamin D up to 2,000 I.U.’s per day. Studies also support an association between increased Vitamin D intake and breast health.

Iodine
Breast Balance provides Iodine in the form of elemental iodine which is different from Potassium Iodide available from iodized salt. Breast tissue is known to concentrate iodine, but this process requires elemental iodine. Breast Balance provides 100% of the recommended daily value of Iodine. Increased iodine intake has been associated with breast health.

Selenium
Breast Balance provides selenium in the form of inorganic selenium from sodium selenite. This form of selenium has been shown to be most active for incorporation of selenium into the active sites of essential selenoenzymes. Adequate selenium intake is necessary for both thyroid hormone action and breast health. Deficient selenium has been associated with fibrocystic changes in breast tissue.
