Breast cancer awareness month 2010: Natural estrogen therapy-Things you must know

In honor of breast cancer awareness month, here is information on a natural estrogen therapy product. Look no further than Nature's Way DIM-plus™. It's made of  cruciferous vegetables that pack a punch and are proven to lower cancer risk.

No side effects estrogen therapy

During breast cancer awareness month, learning natural estrogen therapy is a much safer way to treat hormonal imbalance, is exciting.

Reported side effects from regular estrogen therapy are gallstones, blood clots or increased side effects of anti-depressants. No such problem with DIM-plus.

What is Diindolylmethane?

DIM stands for diindolylmethane which is a plant nutrient found in vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. It differs from soy isoflavones and has distinct hormonal benefits.

DIM increases levels of “favorable” estrogens while reducing “less favorable” estrogens. The key is to regularly supplement the diet with diindolylmethane.

DIM-plus Estrogen Metabolism Formula promotes:

  • Healthy estrogen metabolism
  • Relieves PMS symptoms
  • Promotes fat loss
  • Supports breast, cervical, uterine and prostate health

 A review of research published October 1996, Journal of the American Dietetic Association, shows 70% or more studies find a link between cruciferous vegetables and protection against cancer.

Estrogen therapy

Eating nearly two pounds of raw or lightly steamed broccoli per day works too. But who can manage to keep that up? Take DIM-plus instead. Females take 100-200 mg per day and males take up to 400 mg if engaged in exercise training programs.

Hormonal imbalance

Estrogen imbalance is a major contributor to perimenopausal symptoms, premenstrual syndrome and unhealthy prostate glands. Medical research shows it's not estrogen itself but problems with estrogen metabolism. DIM-plus restores estrogen balance from estrogen dominance or hormonal imbalance.

Additional estrogen therapy

Nature's Way DIM-plus contains the unique cruciferous vegetable blend (spinach, cabbage and concentrated broccoli powders) for added phytonutrients. For perimenopausal symptoms, premenstrual syndrome and unhealthy prostate, DIM-plus is an effective natural estrogen therapy product to learn about during breast cancer awareness month.

Precautions: Do not use DIM-plus if pregnant or lactating. DIM-plus may be found at these Oklahoma City stores.

    It wouldn't have to be 2 lbs. of broccoli, as it's in other veggies as well. If you're eating the 6-8 servings a day you're supposed to, you would be getting all the plant nutrients you need in the way that's easiest for your body to absorb, PLUS all the bonus nutrients and fiber which help reduce cancer risk.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    I appreciate your comments but it can't be just any vegetables. It has to be cruciferous vegetables to get the cancer benefits.

    Thanks,
