DIM-plus contains diindolylmethane, a phytonutrient found in cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and kale. Unlike other plant nutrients such as soy isoflavones, diindolylmethane has unique hormonal benefits. It supports the activity of enzymes that improve estrogen metabolism. Scientific research shows diindolylmethane increases the level of "favorable" estrogens (2-hydroxy-estrogen) while reducing the level of "less favorable" estrogens (16-hydroxyestrogen).

Scientists think these vegetables may help to protect the body againstcancer because they contain diindolylmethane and a related chemical called indole-3-carbinol.Diindolylmethane, or DIM, is a natural chemical formed in your digestive tract from a compound called glucobrassicin DIM supplements also are available from many retail sources and might help prevent or suppress growth of several forms of cancer, including breast, colon and prostate cancer.
Q.How does it work?
A.Diindolylmethane might act like estrogen in the body, but there is evidence that under certain circumstances it might also block estrogen effects.

Cancer is a group of diseases in which cells grow out of control, dividing rapidly and invading healthy tissue. These abnormal cells might form tumors in one or more places in the body and also might metastasize, spreading to other locations where they cause secondary cancerous growths. Diindolylmethane might help control or stop the growth of cancer through several of its actions, such as stopping cell division, inhibiting invasion of healthy tissue by malignant cells and suppressing growth of blood vessels in cancerous tumors
Viral Infection
DIM might help reduce the symptoms of these disorders and suppress their recurrence, possibly by inhibiting growth of the virus.
Effects on Estrogen
DIM also might promote healthy metabolism of estrogen and relieve some problems caused by estrogen imbalance. According to Thomas Lee, NMD, the compound which promote conversion of estrogen to healthy metabolites, leading to a better balance of natural estrogens in your body.
