DIM Brand & Dosage questions

Lindy323

I'm interested in DIM and was wondering what brands and daily dosage is recommended.

During my research, I noticed some brands(Natures way) will say 100mg "complex" but only has 25 mg of DIM in that complex. Others brands (Source Naturals) actually say 100 mg DIM. I'm a little confused and wondered if anyone could offer advice?

Lindy-

I take the Nature's WAy BIOResponse DIM - 2 capsules twice a day.The BIOResponse DIM is patented and is the one that was used in all of the clinical trials. It is a more absorbable form of DIM. There are several companies who have it in their supplements. The Source Naturals is a different format - it looks like they are using Bioperine to help absorption, but I do not know how that compares to the BIOResponse DIM.

 If you do a "search" for BioResponse DIM - I know that there were multiple threads on this subject a while back - maybe 6-9 months ago. They may help you out.

I got Olympia brand off the internet--and I take one a day, but can't remember dosage, and am away from my bottle of it!  I wanted to stay away from a couple other brands that had soy in them.  But, like you, I wish there were a more scientific way to figure this out...
