NuMedica Dim Estro assists estrogen metabolism in both men and women.

Considering DIM Estro

NuMedica DIM Estro naturally supports the body's ability to maintain a healthy hormonal balance by boosting estrogen metabolism.

Although estrogen is produced naturally in the body, an excess of estrogen and environmental toxins that mimic estrogen are linked to health problems. Therefore, effective estrogen metabolism is essential for your body's health and well-being.

DIM Estro boosts the body's ability to naturally eliminate excess estrogen efficiently.

Nutritional Extracts from DIM Estro May Help to Cleanse the Body of Excess Estrogen

NuMedica DIM contains natural extracts like curcumin and black pepper (Bioperine) that help kick-start the body's metabolism of hormones.

Curcumin is found in turmeric, a spice being touted as a super spice for its health benefits. Research suggests that curcumin may help reduce bad cholesterol levels and help guard against stomach ulcers, colitis, and Alzheimer's disease.

Studies also demonstrate that black pepper may have the ability to block fat cell production where excess hormones like estrogen can hide. Black pepper has been used for centuries in many cultures to treat stomach ailments, reduce depression, and enhance mental focus.

About Estrogen

Estrogen is a sex hormone produced naturally in the body and is present in both men and women. It is usually present at significantly higher levels in women than men, especially from the onset of menstrual periods at puberty until menopause.

Estrogen promotes the development of female secondary sexual characteristics. It is also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and affects other aspects of regulating the menstrual cycle. In males, estrogen regulates reproductive system functions that are important for sperm maturation. It may also be necessary for a healthy libido.

Excess estrogen and other toxins cause many health-related issues. Therefore, the effective metabolism of estrogen is necessary for a healthy body. NuMedica DIM Estro increases the body's ability to remove excess estrogen from the body naturally.

Three Forms of Estrogen

1. Estradiol
2. Estriol
3. Estrone

Estradiol is the fundamental sex hormone for both men and women. Estriol and estrone are secondary and insignificant female sex hormones. 

Normal Estradiol Levels in Women and Men

• Normal level for estradiol in premenopausal women: 30 to 400 pg/mL

• Normal level for estradiol in postmenopausal women: 0 to 30 pg/mL 

• Normal level for estradiol in men: 10 to 50 pg/mL 

Function of Estrogen

Normal estrogen levels are necessary to allow the following organs to function correctly:

Ovaries: Estrogen supports and stimulates the growth of the egg follicle.

Vagina: In the vagina, estrogen sustains the thickness of the vaginal wall and facilitates lubrication.

Uterus: Estrogen maintains the mucous membrane that lines the uterus. It also helps to regulate the flow and thickness of uterine mucous secretions.

Breasts: The estrogen aids the formation of breast tissue. It also assists in stopping the flow of milk after weaning.

Functions of Estrogen in the Human Body

• Estrogen reduces calcium reabsorption and enhances bone formation.
• Estrogen helps increase good cholesterol levels called HDL and triglycerides. Both of them help decrease LDL and assist in fat deposition.
• Estrogen improves lung function.
• Estrogen helps in supporting physical differentiation as per the genetic code. Testosterone leads to masculinizing the fetus, while estrogen feminizes the fetus.
• Estrogen plays an important role in women's mental health. A sudden decrease in blood levels of estrogen and persistently low levels of estrogen is associated with low mood. After childbearing, approaching menopause, and menopause, low estrogen levels can cause extreme episodes of depression.
• Estrogen plays an important role in the upkeep of the human skin. It enhances collagen production and quality, increases skin thickness, and increases blood supply to the skin.
• Estrogen deficiency can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Reasons for Imbalance in Levels of Estrogen

Estrogen levels vary among individuals. They fluctuate during the menstrual cycle and throughout the life of women. These imbalances are due to many reasons. Pregnancy, delivery, breastfeeding, puberty, old age, obesity, anorexia nervosa, excessive exercise, medication use, high blood pressure, diabetes, under-active pituitary gland, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian tumors, and many other factors can affect estrogen levels.

Effects of Estrogen Imbalance in Females

Fluctuations in levels of estrogen in females may lead to irregular or no menstruation, abnormal bleeding during the menstruation cycle, severe pain before or during menses, hot flashes and night sweats, lumps in the breast and uterus, extra dry skin, mood changes, and insomnia, rapid weight gain, low sex desire, extreme mood swings, depression, and anxiety.

Effects of Estrogen Imbalance in Males

Some hereditary issues and other conditions can raise estrogen levels in males, resulting in infertility, delayed puberty, erectile dysfunction, and larger breasts (gynecomastia). Low estrogen levels in males may also cause excess belly fat accumulation and lower sex drive.

To balance the levels, doctors may prescribe supplements and medications, recommend surgery, or encourage the patient to adjust their diet and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
