Naturals Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C),120 Veggie Caps

For the quality , quantity and price I think this is a good deal, I've just begun bio identical hormones and my NP asked that I add this supplement. I will update after my next labs. UPDATE: I haven’t done a lot of search for a better price but it looks like this is a good deal for 120 capsules . I did have a recent appt but no labs . They ssid that this helps break down estran which is an aggressive form of estrogen and she’ll ck labs in 6 mo. My last levels were pretty high so I’ve been trying to take 400 / dy. If levels are normal then I can decrease to one or two per day. After reading some of the other reviews I have noticed similiar results and am glad I’ve been on this . May even get my daughter to start a low dose. The taste is quite different but fir the benefits it’s worth it . UPDATE . I’m on bottle # 3 . I received a message about the smell . Yeah it does smell and taste bad but all my orders have , nothing new or different . I’ve taken manufactured meds that were terrible also and I’d rather take these natural smelly one than the man made . I feel good . These were recommended to me by my NP and we are trying to get an aggressive estrogen level down . I will have a recheck in the fall and we will see if these helped . I have been taking 4 / dy and if the levels are down I’ll. Go to 1-2/dy. There are some great benefits from taking this and I’ll kerp it in my supplements. I think this product is the best value too .

Update 1/18/21: I have now been taking these for over a year and the concern about color has not seemed to change the potency. There have been no more problems with Fibrosystic breast lumps so I will continue to take this. One change I have made is to also include calcium d glucarate which aides I3C in ridding the body of excess estrogen. Update 2/24/20: The current batch I just received is a brownish color, unlike the bright green of my previous order and it does not smell strong like the previous batch. This leaves an uneasy feeling about what your actually getting. Original review January/2020: Five star!!! Although these do have an odor which can smell like moth balls, and I would recommend swallowing them immediately with plenty of water, but if this is the worse you can expect than I'd say their benefits far outweigh their slight issues! I have had trouble with fibrocystic breasts for most of my life. I've had to be careful with any caffeinated foods or drinks since these would make the problem worse. I have had suspicious mammograms resulting in a lumpectomy that turned out to be benign growths. Since then, I have avoided mamograms like the plague due to the pain from the cysts. Now that I am older, I have had a fibrocystic lump that has grown rather large for the past few years. I have read bioidentical progesterone can help reduce these which had helped some, but not completely. Then I found information in my research that showed I3c can help metabolize bad estrogen which also helps with breast health so I decided to try it out. I have only taken these for 1 month and all I can say is wow! The large lump which I had been trying to reduce for the past year has almost vanished! I am eager to see how things are when the bottle is finished!

Health benefits: Great product and was highly recommended by my doctor.

Yes they smell god awful like mothballs and even has a god awful taste but I make sure I take them with a flavored drink so I don’t taste it. Been taking them for almost a full month and noticed a huge difference in my “hormonal belly”. Because I have an IUD I gained a lot of hormonal weight in my lower stomach and I’ve tried everything to get rid of it, but once I learned about this it has helped tremendously. My stomach has shrank inches and makes me feel more confident. I’m also hoping it will help with my pre cancer cells because of the HPV I recently found out I have. I won’t know til my next biopsy but…. Love these will be ordering more in the future! Update: 8/27/22 I stopped taking these about 2 months ago, they weren’t helping with my HPV unfortunately and I had my IUD removed in November and started going to the gym. I do believe these help with bloating but not much else, or at-least in my personal experience. I was taking them for over a year though… def give them a try but best thing to do honestly is drink a Lot of water and exercise if ur looking to buy these for appearance reasons.

Ok, Dr. told me to get this supplement in order to lower my Stradiol levels, that were kind of high. I started taking just one pill per day at breakfast, after one month taking just one pill I made blood tests, estradiol was indeed lower by 35% - 40% which was really good, total testosterone (TT) was a little bit higher, however, the surprise was that free testosterone (FT) and dihidrotestosterone (DHT) were lowered despite of the fact that TT was higher. After seeing those results, Dr. told me to duplicate the dosage, so I started taking pills per day at breakfast as well. After a month and a half taking tow pills, I did blood test again and surprisingly, estradiol was higher than i last tests, though not to high, TT was just a little bit higher BUT FT and DHT where even lower than in last test, so I decided to stop taking this supplement, becase it lowered my T levels. Other changes i saw where an improvement in skin, nails, hair and eyes appearance. Supplement didn't have any undesired side effects, except for a pretty weak headache the first tow weeks, toher than that, everything good. Taste and smell are not good but they definetly aren't a deal breaker. Hope this helps make your mind in whether to take or not this supplement.
