Dim And It’s Effects On Estrogen?

[tysono]

Hi,

So I’ve used DIM on and off for a year. I just stopped taking 100mg daily for 2 months and my hair loss is now progressing (whereas on DIM, it seemed to help my hair loss). I take 0.5mg dutasteride ED however when I was taking DIM it actually made me feel more bloated and gave me a bit of ED. Now that I’ve stopped taking it, both of these issues have resolved.

It feels like my only two options are to either take the DIM and deal with the ED and feeling of being bloated, or not take the DIM and retain my regular erection quality, not feel bloated, but feel more feelings of anger and irritability?

This sucks. Is there any reason why I would be feeling more irritable off the DIM?

DIM modulates estrogen metabolism, so I don't think that is the source of your ED. I take DIM also but don't get any bloating. You should have a complete male blood panel done to check all hormone levels including thyroid.

DIM is not really an anti estrogen, it is a chemical that is found to help modulate estrogen METABOLISM. I took it and was not impressed.

Why are you taking Duasteride instead of Finasteride?
Do you have any tests showing your sex hormone levels?

Yeah the thing is, when I stop taking DIM, my erection quality is much better. So while taking DIM, I feel a lot more “estrogenic” in a sense.

I take dutasteride due to early onset aggressive male pattern baldness. finasteride basically stopped working after a year.

Dim does the exact opposite for me, helps with bloated ness and helps big time with the fatigue I get from finasteride.
