DIM and Skin Health

Posted by PointBlank Team on 9th Dec 2021

Blemishes and breakouts have a root cause; your hormones. An imbalance of estrogen levels can sky-rocket cortisol, your stress hormone, and be all your skin needs to act up. How do you solve this issue? If only there was a supplement that could help.

DIM, or diindolylmethane, is a compound found in broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and other cruciferous vegetables. But, your intake of these doesn't give you enough DIM to have a lasting effect. This is where DIM supplements come in so handy.

So, why DIM? This organic substance can actually normalize estrogen levels at high doses (100mg to 200mg daily). DIM helps the body metabolize estrogen properly, even when cortisol, or stress levels, are high.

We'll put it this way: Your hormone levels decide your cortisol levels, but your cortisol levels decide your hormone levels as well. So an estrogen/testosterone imbalance increases your cortisol levels, which in-turn causes more imbalance in your estrogen/testosterone... That sounds like a lose-lose situation, right?

Now, throw DIM into that circle and as it helps your body metabolize estrogen properly, your cortisol levels come back down and your skin says 'Thank you' by looking wonderful.
