Features & Benefits

1. Hormonal Balance
   • DIM helps with estrogen metabolism; it’s believed to steer estrogen toward more “beneficial” pathways.
   • Calcium D‑Glucarate supports estrogen detoxification by facilitating the body’s removal of estrogen metabolites.
2. Female-Specific Support
   • Dong Quai (also called “female ginseng”) is traditionally used to support a healthy menstrual cycle and female reproductive system.
   • Black Cohosh may help with symptoms associated with hormonal fluctuations, such as those in perimenopause or PMS.
3. Liver Detox Support
   • The combination helps support liver phase II detoxification, aiding in flushing out hormone byproducts.
4. Vegan / High-Quality Manufacturing
   • Made in a GMP‑compliant facility. 
   • Non-GMO and third-party tested. 

Usage / How to Use

• Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule daily with 8–12 oz (about 240–360 ml) of water. 
• Duration: Use consistently for hormonal support. Effects are often more noticeable over several weeks.
• Best Taken With: A meal may help improve absorption and reduce any stomach discomfort.

Safety & Precautions

• Age Recommendation: For adults (18+). 
• Medical Conditions / Interactions: Consult a healthcare provider before use if:
  • You are pregnant or nursing. 
  • You take hormone-related medications or have hormone-sensitive conditions.
• Side Effects: Some users might experience mild digestive discomfort or “detox-like” symptoms when starting.
• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Do not use if the safety seal is broken or missing.

Mechanism (How It Works)

• DIM: A natural compound that supports the healthy breakdown and elimination of estrogens.
• Calcium D‑Glucarate: Enhances the body’s ability to “glucuronidate” (attach glucuronic acid to) estrogens, making them easier to detox and excrete.
• Dong Quai: Acts as a traditional adaptogen for female reproductive health, possibly helping balance menstrual cycle and support uterine function.
• Black Cohosh: May influence serotonin and other pathways, helping manage mood swings and other hormonal symptoms.

Pros:

• Strong DIM dose (400 mg) for effective estrogen support.

Cons:
