@@TheJimmyswe150 are you dieting or a vegetarian/vegan? Protein is very important for all men, and if you do any form of resistance training, it becomes super important.
Dr. Berg, Thank you for ALL you’ve done for me. I know you don’t know my situation but let me just tell you this one small important thing, you have saved my life and given me something I have NOT been able to achieve with 20 years of seeing my endocrinologist, a healthy slim body! You sir are simply amazing. I’ve spent well over $1k on your supplements because I’m afraid you’re gonna run out and everything has worked so well for me. So, I just want you to know Dr. Berg that you mean a lot to me and my family. We all love you! Thank YOU again!! I feel amazing and I’m ALIVE!! Much respect sir!
Congratulations Dr. Berg! It looks like you've been identified as a threat, as evidenced by the negative comments here! Thank you for all your work and success. "[Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers treated the false prophets]."
I’ve been using your DIM for over a year now and I’ve noticed when I’ve taken another brand I can’t get the same quality sleep and feeling of well being I get with your brand. What added ingredients do u use to help get these sleep benefits? And that you for a great product!
I've been taking 300mg of DIM since 2019. Every morning. I haven't had any issues at all with estrogen or hair loss or any of the ailments in the comments below. Last year I got on TRT therapy and I do not take the astrazole they give me with the injections. I continued taking DIM like I always have. If you are a male and you get a big spike in estrogen you will know it. It happened to me when I first started the TRT. I got a lot of water weight gain and my face swelled up to the point people were making comments. I waited it out and it went away after a couple of weeks and I haven't had any problems since. I gained about 10lbs when that happened. It was the 2nd month of TRT.
You may be fine, but note that DIM is not a replacement for astrazole and do not work the same way in your body. Make sure your doing your labs. If you E2 is below 30 (>15) with good libido and sexual functions, you are doing great. Some guys are lucky and don't need astrazole, but others like me require it to keep my E2 in check.
Hey doc... ive heard a lot about dim and the benefits. Whats a good dim supplement to get? Ive lost 40lbs so far doing keto/IF.. and have hit a point where its slowing down... but have also noticed what seems like estrogen dominance features like lower body fat.. will dim help with that?
@@WearthH There is no current daily recommended dosage of grape seed extract, but scientific studies have used dosages of 100-300 mg./day to produce a therapeutic result with no negative side effects. I was wondering where to lean to but resorted to a 200 mg one.
Awesome content Dr. Berg! Just wondering what's a typical DIM dose for healthy men wishing to maintain good hormonal balance? Seems there's conflicting info out there stating DIM antagonizes androgens in men to a possibly undesirable level
Everyone’s different, 25 mg daily Is the upper rage of what you get naturally “web md -> Diindolylmethane is commonly consumed in foods. A typical diet supplies 2-24 mg of diindolylmethane daily. It is possibly safe for most people when taken in doses up to 150 mg daily for up to 1 year. The most common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, gas, and diarrhea.” It’s hard to find doses under 100 mg, I would start at 100 mg a day and take for a month before you consider the higher doses used for cancer and prostate issues. The 300 mg dim dosage for me was much to high resulting in lower libido and insomnia. So start low and wait 4 weeks before modifying your dose. I take 50mg per day
@@johnsonville1brats thanks for the feedback. I did see some evidence it can lower androgens considerably so that got me concerned. Figured a lower dose is better then
How about women, how much should we take? I have a slew of health issues, Renal failure, Hypothyroidism, Ocular Rosacea, so I’m quite stoked to get started, thank you 😊
So then there is this.. you take dim for a while but eventually your body can’t remove excess hormones without being overloaded causing inflammation… the only known thing to help this is calcium d glucarate, but the problem with that is people will say it also eliminates some testosterone so what do we do in this case instead of having inflammation and problems from too much hormones
Hi Dr Berg. I finally received ur much sought after book “the new body type guide” it is over the top great... u r a God sent. Everyone should be getting this book 📖 bc it’s totally true. I have so many of the Adrenal fatigue symptoms... it’s been a problem and getting worse. Thank u again. God bless !!!
I'm confused...One of the studies you referenced stated "DIM is a testosterone blocker and not an estrogen blocker. DIM is a phytoestrogen and not an anti-Estrogen".
I hate Google's algorithm... sometimes I find studies that help me decide about supplements and when I try to go back later to double check my research, I can't find them again. I previously did a lot of research on DIM and found a study that said it increased testosterone in men, but now I can't find it again 🤔
Also note for safety, DIM can sometimes increase homocysteine levels. So if you take it, you ned to take a B100 complex vitamin to counter act that possible side effect.
Dim messed me up . I be having nerve problems anxiety since taking it for 3 weeks . I can’t eat I get stomach cramps . I been like this since thanksgiving
It's difficult to trust these products being sold to men nowadays. I was looking at the ingredients for a multivitamin for men and guess what it contained...SOY.
Please someone suggest me from where I should buy DIM supplement specifically for reducing my lower body fat, which is the best website which is trustworthy and from where i can buy this supplement
I bought this. Used it one time: one pill before bed. Woke up and my urine was bloody looking. A lot... Enough it scared me. I feel fine though. Is there a reason it might simply discolor the urine and it not actually be blood?
have you guys even bothered to invest the time to carefully and thoroughly listen on the podcast in that website? yes, they did classify it as an "testosterone blocker" because it is an ANDROGEN blocker higher than 100mg. Meaning, doses higher tha 100mg of DIM (diindolylmethane) would serve as an androgen blocker which blocks a certain percentage of both testosterone and estrogen. They can't easily and simply classify DIM as a compound that is in level of aromatase inhibitors because it is not entirely an aromatase inhibitor. DIM increases 2 hydroxyestrone (good estrogen) and decreases the 16-alphahydroxyestrone (bad estrogen). And it also acts an aromatase inhibitor but not as STRONG as Arimidex, Letrozole and Aromasin which is extremely powerful aromatase inhibitors in which it can crash your estradiol (e2) levels which is as bad as having high estradiol as well.
@@fishcrabs7898 what would be a better option for regulating estrogens but not lowering male androgens hormones ? Given that DIM lowers androgens (making it useless) Is there another aromatase inhibitor that will only regulate estrogens ?
what would be a better option for regulating estrogens but not lowering male androgens hormones ? Given that DIM lowers androgens (making it useless) Is there another aromatase inhibitor that will only regulate estrogens ?
Dr. Berg, I would love to try DIM as I feel it would help with some of my problems. However, I do have advanced liver disease and Hashimotos...do these diseases make DIM a no-no for me?
Dr. Berg. Maybe you can explain why where is no medical studies on products like that? Testosterone test is only $35 :) .Its $700 total . Maybe there is a reason these companies dont do any studies? Problem is that there is too much talk and no facts.
@El Okim the test is $35? and what is $700... I know DIM supps cost less than a testosterone test since most are under $20 (assuming your comment is halfway accurate) so idk what you mean $700 total... $700 total for what? TRT?
Dim can indirectly increase testosterone by decreasing the levels of bad estrogen in the body allowing less conversion of your own natural testosterone into estrogen.
Are there any negative side effects of DIM? Im a 22 overweight male currently losing weight, currently at 237lbs, my test levels are baseline normal from my last blood test a month ago.
Can Dim cause high B12? I had the results from a blood test today and the doctors were conserned about me having very high B12. They asked if I take any supplements, I said Biotin and Dim, and whilst the GP had never heard of Dim, and started googling it infront of me, she seems to think that must be what's causing it and wants me to cease taking it for 6 months. Neither my brand of Dim, nor any I looked at online have B12 in the ingredients, and I can't find anything about them containing B12 online.
I have been taking it over a month and I have noticed my huge belly is going down. I used to never wear sun dresses because I was self-conscious of my stomach. Just last week I put on a sundress after years! so something is causing a hormonal shift in this product for the good. for men I wouldn't know lol

True. I learned that the hard way. It crashed my e2 estrogen level and decreased my free T by 5%. It seems the best way to minimize estrogen is by losing weight
I have been taking this and i feel better.I start with 200mg to make sure my body doesn't have a negative effect. Its an ingredient in a lot of test support supplements .
From my knowledge it won't break a fast but should be taken with some sort of fat as it is a fat-soluble vitamin take it with a spoonful of coconut oil flax oil or grass fed butter spoonful of yogurt is my favorite.
Any advice for men that have low testosterone levels and on bioidenticals for that with not much difference for libido? Also that has normal level estrogen but low dhea levels which is supplemented.
Dear Thomas I'm quite surprised, why you want to deal with it the hard and wrong way at the same time. I follow the ketogenic diet yet I don't apply what Dr. Berg recommends, which is one meal a day cause it's hard for me, I do just two meals a day. Be easy on yourself OK.
20alphabet From the outside? I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean long term fasting is too extreme or that it's outside of the scope of Dr Berg's Keto/Intermittent Fasting plan? Because of course it is, by definition. Intermittent Fasting is IF, on & off cycles of fasting, whereas, Long Term Fasting is LTF, extended periods of no food, not really a cycle. Even if it's not in Dr Berg's protocol, there's nothing wrong in finding out his thoughts, findings & opinions would be on the matter. I'm pretty sure that he'll say that we need to meet our body's nutritional needs throughout our fasting protocols & that LTF would starves the body of nutrients for too long of of a time to promote health & would constantly tax the liver with the task of synthesizing & detoxing the large amounts of fats which the body would be burning up to function. Kind off like having a couple of people driving a car 24 hours a day only stopping for fuel when empty, never doing an oil or transmission fluid or radiator fluid maintenance. Sooner or later, the constant stress on the car's system is going to take its toll. The almost constant demand is in contrast to IF which feeds the body fat in the fast & nutrients, minerals, vitamins & amino acids in the break fast time. IF is cyclic. Burn, rest, feed, recover, burn. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that'd be Berg's take on the matter. Up until recently he seemed to recommend 2-3 meals a day & only recently started speaking of going down to 1 meal a day being healthy, so an approval for LTF shouldn't be expected, but then Dr Berg has been known for a few surprises. He could claim that a very, very healthy & balanced person may do ok or even thrive on LTF, but I seriously doubt he'd go there. It might encourage people to alter their diet to a potentially dangerous protocol. IF fasting isn't going to do much, if any, damage to an individual, none of it permanent. LTF could really do some damage, especially in an unhealthy individual. Dr Berg, I sure, goes by the creed 'Do No Harm'.
Hi, Dr. Berg, would taking DIM supplements be helpful for men taking finasteride? How I thought about this, finasteride over time increases you Testosterone, which then coverts more into Estrogen. So taking DIM, would then help decrease estrogen to balance it. Also, is DIM just a bowl of vegetables? Its the same as if someone ate 2 lbs of broccoli?
High Dr. Berg, I am in my 30s and am lean and muscular but I want to increase my testosterone to help build muscle faster. So I'm going to take Testosterone boosters like Tribulus and Ashwaganda but I think I should take DIM so no excess Testosterone gets converted to Estrogen. Is what i'm doing safe, in that it's not going to backfire on me and plummit my testosterone or boost estrogen?
@@Spacemaaan Ok well, thats good to hear and yeah i've heard the same thing. Instead of taking DIM some bodybuilders will eat foods high in it like broccoli or brussel sprouts but i'm not eating that every day.
@@Drbergsir, can this be taken by a patient who have multiple uterine fibroids and also trying to conceive because I learnt that DIM should not be taken by someone trying to get pregnant. Thanks 👏
Took it for like a year daily and now my joints hurt it was at 200mg dose, when I took TRT game over. Had to get off it would rather use another form of estrogen blocker like Anastrazole. Even then I would recommend like the estrogen levels to saturate and balance because low estrogen is a pain...

Fantastic company
But isn’t DIM anti androgenic??
True. I learned that the hard way. It crashed my e2 estrogen level and decreased my free T by 5%. It seems the best way to minimize estrogen is by losing weight
How much were you taking?
@@Mark300win I seem to have lost my libido after taking it for half year, not sure if that is relevant
Short. Good.
How does dim compare to calcium d glucarate?
I have been taking this and i feel better.I start with 200mg to make sure my body doesn't have a negative effect. Its an ingredient in a lot of test support supplements .
It might actually blocks testosterone research
Too high. Anything less than 100mg is key
@@lancer717 200mg is 1 pill. Are you suggesting something else?

@DrEricBergDC can you take DIM while on testerone shots? Even with increased shot dosage my husband's numbers are still low. Thanks in advance.
Can you do a video on stinging nettle?
Sooo...WTF is DIM?
Ever hear of Google?
"diindolylmethane, or DIM, which is a natural plant-based chemical found in many cruciferous vegetables"
What do you think of its anti inflammatory effects?
Hey Dr Berg, im not sure if you read comments on old videos i was wondering does DIM break a fast?
From my knowledge it won't break a fast but should be taken with some sort of fat as it is a fat-soluble vitamin take it with a spoonful of coconut oil flax oil or grass fed butter spoonful of yogurt is my favorite.
Any advice for men that have low testosterone levels and on bioidenticals for that with not much difference for libido? Also that has normal level estrogen but low dhea levels which is supplemented.
Dr. Berg what is your view on prolonged fasting like 7 days of water fast?
20alphabet LMFAO
Isn't it the case that after about 3 days of fasting you enter starvation mode?
I don't know, but that seems like a bad idea. Not healthy in any way.
Dear Thomas I'm quite surprised, why you want to deal with it the hard and wrong way at the same time. I follow the ketogenic diet yet I don't apply what Dr. Berg recommends, which is one meal a day cause it's hard for me, I do just two meals a day. Be easy on yourself OK.
20alphabet From the outside? I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean long term fasting is too extreme or that it's outside of the scope of Dr Berg's Keto/Intermittent Fasting plan? Because of course it is, by definition. Intermittent Fasting is IF, on & off cycles of fasting, whereas, Long Term Fasting is LTF, extended periods of no food, not really a cycle. Even if it's not in Dr Berg's protocol, there's nothing wrong in finding out his thoughts, findings & opinions would be on the matter. I'm pretty sure that he'll say that we need to meet our body's nutritional needs throughout our fasting protocols & that LTF would starves the body of nutrients for too long of of a time to promote health & would constantly tax the liver with the task of synthesizing & detoxing the large amounts of fats which the body would be burning up to function. Kind off like having a couple of people driving a car 24 hours a day only stopping for fuel when empty, never doing an oil or transmission fluid or radiator fluid maintenance. Sooner or later, the constant stress on the car's system is going to take its toll. The almost constant demand is in contrast to IF which feeds the body fat in the fast & nutrients, minerals, vitamins & amino acids in the break fast time. IF is cyclic. Burn, rest, feed, recover, burn. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that'd be Berg's take on the matter. Up until recently he seemed to recommend 2-3 meals a day & only recently started speaking of going down to 1 meal a day being healthy, so an approval for LTF shouldn't be expected, but then Dr Berg has been known for a few surprises. He could claim that a very, very healthy & balanced person may do ok or even thrive on LTF, but I seriously doubt he'd go there. It might encourage people to alter their diet to a potentially dangerous protocol. IF fasting isn't going to do much, if any, damage to an individual, none of it permanent. LTF could really do some damage, especially in an unhealthy individual. Dr Berg, I sure, goes by the creed 'Do No Harm'.
Dr. Jason Fung is the expert on prolonged fasting.
It's meant to be good for male hair loss.
Hi, Dr. Berg, would taking DIM supplements be helpful for men taking finasteride?
How I thought about this, finasteride over time increases you Testosterone, which then coverts more into Estrogen. So taking DIM, would then help decrease estrogen to balance it. Also, is DIM just a bowl of vegetables? Its the same as if someone ate 2 lbs of broccoli?
Can you please cover DHEA + DIM together for aging men
Kimi New I just ordered this combination. Have you begun taking them?
I'm a 41year-old male with some Gino kicking in how much dim should I take everyday
High Dr. Berg, I am in my 30s and am lean and muscular but I want to increase my testosterone to help build muscle faster. So I'm going to take Testosterone boosters like Tribulus and Ashwaganda but I think I should take DIM so no excess Testosterone gets converted to Estrogen.
Is what i'm doing safe, in that it's not going to backfire on me and plummit my testosterone or boost estrogen?
I've heard of a bodybuilder who actually recommended taking dim along with a testosterone booster. It might be optimal
@@Spacemaaan Ok well, thats good to hear and yeah i've heard the same thing. Instead of taking DIM some bodybuilders will eat foods high in it like broccoli or brussel sprouts but i'm not eating that every day.
Lift more with progressive overload. None of this will help without lifting.
Sir what time is best to take dim,

@@Drbergsir, can this be taken by a patient who have multiple uterine fibroids and also trying to conceive because I learnt that DIM should not be taken by someone trying to get pregnant. Thanks 👏
What dosage should one take?
tru leigh 100-200 a day
Can DIM supplement be taken during a 48 hours fast?
When fasting you only need to worry about foods or drinks that will cause an insulin response
Took it for like a year daily and now my joints hurt it was at 200mg dose, when I took TRT game over. Had to get off it would rather use another form of estrogen blocker like Anastrazole. Even then I would recommend like the estrogen levels to saturate and balance because low estrogen is a pain...
What?
What if I’m an overweight thirty year old with a lot of muscles ?
