Osterly Market DIM with Piperine

Diindolylmethane with piperine. Both named in full.

DIM, spelled out, with piperine for absorption. 'Hormone support blend' tells you nothing; a compound name and a number tell you everything.

What it's for

DIM is a compound the body forms when it digests cruciferous vegetables — broccoli, cabbage, kale. It is taken for its role in how the liver processes oestrogen, shifting the balance between metabolites. That mechanism is well described; whether it produces the outcomes people buy it for is much less settled. Piperine from black pepper is included because DIM absorbs poorly without help.

How to take it

• One capsule daily with food — DIM is fat-soluble and needs a meal
• Any effect is measured in weeks
• It can turn your urine a harmless orange colour. That is normal and not a problem
• Speak to a doctor first if you take hormonal contraception, hormone therapy, or have a hormone-sensitive condition

On the label

• Diindolylmethane (DIM), dose stated
• Piperine for absorption, dose stated

What this is not

• Not a hormone
• Not a 'hormone balance blend'
• Not for use alongside hormonal medication without medical advice

The straight answer

Piperine is in here to raise absorption, not as a second active. It is listed with its own number so you can tell the difference.
