NOW Foods Indole-3-Carbinol I3C 200mg 60 Veg Capsules

NOW® Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) delivers 200 mg of I3C, a sulfur-containing compound uniquely abundant in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower, plus flax lignan extract.* In the acidic stomach, I3C is readily converted into DIM and a full spectrum of related compounds that help neutralize free radicals and support the body's normal detoxification processes.* Studies suggest I3C supplementation can help maintain the health of breast and other reproductive tissues by supporting healthy estrogen metabolism.* A targeted phytonutrient for those focused on cellular health and hormone balance.*

About the key ingredients

• Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) – 200 mg: A cruciferous-vegetable phytonutrient that converts to DIM and related compounds to help neutralize free radicals, support the body's normal detoxification, and support healthy estrogen metabolism and the maintenance of breast and reproductive-tissue health.*
• Flax Lignan Extract – 200 mg: A flaxseed-derived lignan included to complement I3C for cellular and hormone-metabolism support.*
• Other ingredients: A plant-based hypromellose (cellulose) capsule with minimal flow agents — no unnecessary fillers.

Who it's for

I3C suits adults focused on cellular health and healthy estrogen/hormone metabolism and the body's normal detoxification.* It appeals to those who eat little cruciferous vegetables or want a concentrated broccoli-family phytonutrient.

Frequently asked questions

What does I3C do?
I3C comes from cruciferous vegetables and converts in the stomach to DIM and related compounds that help neutralize free radicals and support the body's normal detoxification, plus healthy estrogen metabolism and the maintenance of breast and reproductive-tissue health.*

How is it related to DIM?
I3C is the precursor — the body converts it into DIM and a broader spectrum of related compounds. Some people prefer I3C for that fuller spectrum, others prefer DIM directly.*

Who should not take it?
It's not for pregnant or nursing women, since it affects hormone metabolism. It may cause digestive upset in sensitive people — reduce the dose or stop if that happens — and refrigeration after opening is recommended.*

Cautions & interactions

Because I3C affects hormone metabolism, do not use it if you are pregnant or nursing. It may cause digestive upset in some sensitive individuals — reduce the dose or discontinue if that occurs. Talk to your doctor before use if you take medication or have a medical condition. Refrigerate after opening, and keep out of reach of children.
