The Power of Diindolylmethane

Recently, there has been a lot of hype about a fairly unknown, natural compound called Diindolylmethane (DIM). What is this compound and just how beneficial is it to our health? And more importantly, why does a group of leading scientists at the University of California at Berkeley believe they have stumbled upon a remarkable discovery?

A naturally occurring compound found in food plants of the Brassica genus, (Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, kale and cauliflower) Diindolylmethane (DIM) is formed within the stomach after these vegetables have been chewed and swallowed. According to the scientists, DIM has been clinically proven to improve overall health by enhancing the immune system, cleansing the body of hazardous chemicals and supporting various organ systems including breast, prostate, cardiovascular, vision, skin and colon health.

As a natural immune booster, clinical studies revealed that DIM increases the sensitivity of cells in the body to the Interferon-Gamma protein while increasing the body’s Interferon-Gamma production. In simple terms, this means that DIM helps boost the body’s ability to protect itself against bacterial and viral infections.

As a response to this amazing discovery, the scientists patented a new dietary supplement called ActivaMune. The supplement includes DIM as well as other nutrients including Sulforaphane, Selenium, Lycopene, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Calcium and Vitamins C, D3 and E.
