Nature's Way DIM-plus - Estrogen Metabolism Formula -- 120 Capsules

I started getting menopause symptoms in May 2011 (48 yrs). I already knew I was in peri-menopause due to some labwork. I was getting hot flashes at least every hour. They weren't severe however I developed terrible anxiety and then feelings of depression. I literally didn't want to leave the house and was miserable. Then I discovered Estroven and that worked like a charm in stopping the hot flashes, but I still had the anxiety and depression. I had Wellbutrin from a previous need at one time, so I started taking it while waiting for a Dr's appt. That worked and within days the anxiety was gone so my Doc kept me on it (just 150 mg/day). So I was fine until June of this year. I had read reviews where women have reported that black cohosh will build up in your system and stop working. Well I got slammed in June with much worse symptoms than the previous year. The flashes and night sweats were debilitating! When a flash would hit me I would immediately feel like all my energy got sucked out of me. I'd have to stop what I was doing till I got my strength and wind back in me. I also started to get heart palpitations. I know that this is A-Fib because I used to be a paramedic, and that it is not life threatening. But I would get "runs" of it, like 6 or more missed beats in a row. I don't care who you are, that sh*t is disturbing! Since I'm going longer than 3 mos without a cycle, I am pretty certain that my body is advancing into full menopause. The worst is that I started losing my hair. Almost all of the front has broken off and my hair is radically thinner all over. I've basically lost half my hair. So you can imagine my awful distress over all of this. It's like you're own body is abusing you. The hair loss is what led me to DIM-Plus. I stopped taking estroven to clear the black cohosh from my system. I read reviews that DIM helped some with hair loss and that it might work on the other symptoms. Well I was only taking it for three days when I just couldn't take it anymore and started taking estroven again (I'd been off for 2 weeks) along with the DIM. After just two days the symptoms have decreased. Sweats are not debilitating, I sleep thru the night again, and no more palpitations. Whew! The shame is that I won't really be able to evaluate the DIM effects/results independent of estroven. I'll continue to take both and actually have been seeing LESS hair loss in the shower and my hairbrush. I will have to come back at a later date to update whether that continues to work (I also switched to Mane and Tail shampoo/conditioner on the recomend from a friend. PS-it leaves my hair feeling great! Much less drier). I do feel like I have more energy and better focus and motivation. I believe the DIM is helping and I hope it's helping to reverse the hair loss. The reason I've written all the detail above is in case anyone else is going thru what feels like hell. I have found reviews and recommends to be so helpful. And also knowing that others are going thru this too. I just wanna know when it will be over! Lol. Feedback is appreciated if you want to share your horror story and what helped you (every woman is different it seems). I wish everyone the blessing in finding relief and good health!

Since I started taking DIM(for almost 30 days), my skin looks better. My back is especially smoother and softer. However, that wasn't what I was taking it for. The real problem is that I have an enlarged cervix. I am hoping that this stuff helps it. I only have 4 pills left from my 60 count bottle and then it will be empty. I haven't noticed a difference yet on my main concern, but I realize it takes much more patience than that. I am going to start on the two 120 count bottles I got from Amazon and it should take me 3 more months to get through them. At that point, I should see some kind of results--I hope. I will update everyone. Update(9/4/13): I have been taking DIM for about 4 months now and the problem with my cervix has improved remarkably. I'd say 60% better. DIM has also cleared up my acne(not completely though) and I look healthier. I should add that I experience all the more common benefits as well, like shorter, lighter, and almost pain-free periods that are on time. Update (11/17/13): I have noticed another improvement in my health since taking dim: My chest used to be very lumpy and I thought maybe I had tumors or something. Now the issue is completely gone. My cervix seems to be a tiny bit better than when I made my last update. I've been taking 2 pills per day for about 7 months. Maybe it would help if I upped my dose. If it ever does revert back to normal from using DIM, I will be back to update again--I promise. If it doesn't change much more, I won't bother. Update (04/08/15): My cervix problems seem to be solved and that is due to DIM. Oil of Oregano and iodine helped to a smaller degree, but DIM is the true star. Without it, I am sure the results would not be so positive. I think the fact that it reduced the size of my cervix and got rid of the lumps in my breasts may have saved my life because these issues commonly lead to cancer. I am grateful that this product was available and that I was lucky enough to discover it. This is my last update. Best wishes everyone.

Waste of money. Does not work.
