Product Description
What Is DIM?
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a powerful phytonutrient that your body makes by combining stomach acid with the plant enzymes from cruciferous vegetables. In order for your body to naturally make DIM, you must eat cruciferous vegetables. Why does the body make this phytonutrient? DIM helps the body metabolize estrogen, and your body makes DIM to assist in naturally balancing hormone levels.
In an ideal world, we’d get enough DIM from eating several servings of cruciferous vegetables every single day. In a modern world, many people find they could benefit from a little help. Her Farmacy is here to help by offering supplements produced in the US with clean ingredients & ingredient safety testing that well exceeds the FDA-recommended guidelines (we even test for pesticides!).
How Long Does DIM Take To Work?
Like many supplements, DIM has a gradual building effect. Many supplements require around 6-12 weeks of continuous use to notice an effect. DIM tends to work a bit more quickly, and falls on the shorter end of the spectrum. Some individuals may notice a difference in as little as 4 weeks, but most will need 6-8 weeks to really feel an impactful difference. Continuous use is key, consistency is particularly important for supplements.
How Much DIM Should I Be Taking?
Ultimately, that’s a conversation between you and your doctor. We can’t tell you what to take or how much to take. What we can tell you is this: rapid shifts in estrogen levels (increasing or decreasing) can cause headaches and migraines to occur.
Due to its effect on estrogen, quickly increasing DIM doses can be a headache (literally!). While we all want fast results, it’s important to go at your own pace, especially when adding a new supplement to your routine. If you prefer higher doses of DIM (and your doctor gives you the go-ahead!) you can double up on pills or add a second pill every other day once you’ve become acclimated.
Why We Chose Black Pepper As A Natural Absorption Enhancer
The reality is, in order for DIM to really work, it needs help with absorption. This is true for all DIM supplements. We don’t want to bore you with the science of molecules, solubility, and polarity, so we’ll keep it simple and to the point. Some nutrients are more easy to absorb than others. Because of DIM’s molecular structure, the body has a harder time absorbing DIM.
Fortunately, nature has a solution: black pepper. There’s a reason many people season their vegetables for meals, and it’s not just for taste! Black pepper contains the alkaloid piperine. Piperine is what gives black pepper its pungent and spicy kick, but it also works as a powerful absorption enhancer for many nutrients. When paired with DIM, piperine can dramatically increase the body’s ability to absorb DIM. That’s why we include black pepper in our DIM supplements.
Many companies will include a synthesized absorption enhancer to help DIM be absorbed. At Her Farmacy, we pride ourselves on being as natural as possible, which is why we chose to use organic black pepper instead of a synthetic alternative. However, if you find yourself wanting to increase your DIM absorption, you can pair your DIM supplement with pepper in your preferred method (such as a peppery dressing with your favorite salad).

Every Purchase Supports A Scholarship For Women Seeking Affordable Health Supplements
Her Farmacy was founded by a woman after she was diagnosed with PCOS & her doctor struggled to find safe supplements that they felt comfortable recommending. This company was built on the moral values that everyone deserves safe & effective options for natural care.
We’re a small family-run business, but we believe in doing as much good as we can. Our company has set a goal of creating a PCOS supplement scholarship by 2025 for women diagnosed with PCOS in need of affordable options for hormonal health supplements. Our current goal is to be able to sponsor 50 women by the end of next year.
