NOW Foods Indole-3-Carbinol 200 mg 60 Vcaps

Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) is a naturally occurring phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, and kale. NOW I3C provides powerful antioxidant protection, helping to prevent cellular damage caused by free radicals. In addition, I3C can help to maintain healthy normal hormonal balance, for both men and women and therefore may support the health of the breast, prostate, and other reproductive organs. I3C is also known to support the liver's detoxification processes with the highest level of Flax Lignans available, which are also beneficial in supporting healthy normal hormone balance.

I3C helps to regulate cell growth rates, and helps to change a strong and inflammatory form of estrogen (estradiol) into a safer, less aggressive form (estrone). In technical terms, I3C influences our bodies to favor the 2-hydroxylation metabolic pathway to increase the ratio of 2-hydroxysterone to 16a-hydroxyestrone. It may also be able to influence estradiol activity in neighboring cells to also be less aggressive at triggering cell growth. The regulation of estrogen-related cell growth is considered a factor into whether one is more prone to develop certain cancers, so dietary nutrients that normalize cell growth are considered protective. Cells need to be able to repair and grow at normal rates. Uncontrolled growth can be very dangerous. I3C helps trigger cell death in abnormal cells so they won't become a bigger problem over time.
