	Anyone used DIM? Just ordered some. Adding it to my regimen. See this full thread as to why: http://www.hairsite.com/hair-loss/forum_entry.php?id=7266&page=0&category=3&order=last_answer Summary: "the protein K17 has been found to also influence wound healing and maintain the structural integrity of hair follicles" "K17 up regulates interferon-gamma" "Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley have recently discovered that Diindolylmethane (DIM), a naturally occurring compound found in Brassica vegetables, upon oral consumption, is a direct and potent activator of Interferon-Gamma production"

	"By promoting a healthy estrogen metabolism, DIM adjusts the balance of estradiol to its "good" metabolites. This also can result in a more desirable action for testosterone." http://www.dimfaq.com/site/toc.htm

Plenty of research on I3C as a safer, natural alternative to Tamoxifen for breast cancer. Estradiol is v.bad for breast and prostate cancer; though there is not much research on E-metabolites and their interaction with the two types of E-receptors in male hair. Far less certainly than between E and DHT. DIM is not very bio-available, so watch out for that. Nature's Way has an Enhanced Absorption formula. I researched and brought both and use them when I am not on an Arimidex cycle. gc.

	Hey GC1961, I have been reading your posts and decided to hop aboard the anti-estrogen wagon. I wanted to ask you though if Tamox would be better than Arimidex since it re-charges the minoxidil enzyme? Or, does Armidex do the same thing? I have a buddy who suggested Letrozole was more powerful than both. What do you think? I really appreciate any advice you have my friend.

	1. When compared with tamoxifen, letrozole has a different mechanism of action. Studies have shown that letrozole is better than tamoxifen. 2.Anastrozole ( Arimidex) and letrozole belong to the same group of drugs with same mechanism of action ( Aromatase inhibitor). But letrozole has got a higher efficacy. --- I offer research assistance for HairSite. email: hairsite@aol.com for free consultations ===================================== reminder: 1.

	So, would it be safe to say it would do just as good of a job if not better at helping with hair growth when compared to Arimidex? I was reading that Tamox somehow helped minox processing in the body. Would that not be a better option if that were the case; or, could potentially the aromatase inhibitors provide this benefit as well?

	I've got high estro and I've never felt anything at all from taking DIM. I've been through a couple bottles of it over the last few months.
