Research and Development on Diindolylmethane
also known as DIM

Diindolylmethane is a phytochemical found in Brassica vegetables. It has recently been shown to potently modulate the immune system with potent anti-cancer, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.

Mode of action: increasing Interferon-Gamma sensitivity and production.

This compound is currently used as a therapeutic for RRP tumors and is in Phase III Clinical Trials for Cervical Dysplasia—both caused by HPV.

Investigators at UC Berkeley have shown through a human clinical trial that DIM supplementation increases the 2-hydroxylation of estrogen metabolites—an activity regarded by many oncologists as a marker that reduces the risk of breast and prostate cancer.

Because of the increasing body of data indicating the benefits of DIM as a cancer preventive and therapeutic compound, the National Cancer Institue has begun clinical trials of DIM for multiple forms of cancer.

Diindolylmethane (DIM) is regarded as one of the most valuable medicinal compounds in nature.

DIM is currently availalbe as a dietary supplement, however most supplements do not provide bioavailable or clinically relevant dosages. ActivaMune is currently the only supplement on the market that provides a clinically effective amount of Diindolylmethane (DIM) in a bioavailable formulation.
