Nature'S Way - Dim-Plus Estrogen Metabolism Formula 120 Vegetarian Capsules 54330

Waste of money. Does not work.

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!

A quick history. I am 35 years old and had my thyroid removed 20 years ago. I have never had normal hormonal function, with a very whacky, irregular cycle. I have been told by doctors that my lack of a thyroid has crippled my hormone production. I started taking DIM after coming across an article that mentioned it was helpful in promoting hormone health... The sales rep at Nutrition Smart told me that I should try Estrosense DIM over Nature's Way because it was a better overall supplement.. I did use use the Estrosense for one month and finished the 60 ct. bottle, but didn't feel any difference in my PMS symptoms or period (or anything else). I then read many positive reviews of Nature's Way and ordered a 120 ct. bottle.. Within a week I noticed a major improvement in 2 things. Most noticable was my skin. I have always had extremely oily skin and scalp, but esepecially in the last few years and it would worsen after day 14 of my cycle. On NW DIM my acne was clearing up, my skin wasn't shiny and my hair less greasy. Also my skin wasn't extremely ruddy or splotchy anymore and was evening out in tone. Now 2 mos later I feel like my skin is the way it should look, healthy and normal. I am not horrified by photos of my face anymore and actually like how my skin looks. As far as my cycle, it has also improved. For the last two cycles I didn't have bad cramps and my period was shorter by 2 days. I didn't get as bloated as usual, but still did have some water retension. In the past, however, I would gain 5 lbs in water weight and be extremely uncomfortable for a week. This time it was more tolerable. So I highly recommend Nature's Way for anyone who feels they have problems with hormones, whether it is lack of production like me, or too much as in estrogen dominance. At the very least buy the 120 ct bottle and give it two months to see for yourself.. edit: this product helped a lot and I still take it, but it seemed to plateau as far as the beneficial effects I mentioned. I now take it with NAC and that seems to be a great combination. Also Turmeric and a daily multivitamin is part of my routine and I'm feeling very balanced.

This is a great product! I bought it for my 14 year battle with hormonal acne. I only gave 4 stars because I am still a work in progress, but so far so good! I have struggled with acne since I was a teenager. Now at 30, after buying every topical treatment, taking Accutane (two rounds of prescriptions!), dermotologist recommended prescriptions that balanced the oils and hormones, this product FINALLY seems to be the answer to my dilemma. I began noticing a difference in my face after two days and no longer had breakouts on my chest. Just about four weeks in, and I have not had a major breakout whatsoever. It's still working its magic with what I had on my face, but for the first time in years I felt confident enough to walk outside of my house without a stitch of makeup on. Also, without even realizing it, it seems to have balanced my PMS. A week before my period, I would become moody and extremely emotional (to the point my fiancé knew in advance it was that time for me). I also would get severe cramping to the point I would have to lay in bed and in a lot of pain. This past cycle just this week, I experienced little cramping pain and my hormones were so minimal! I highly recommend this product!

I very rarely review any of my purchases, but this product has literally changed my life. For reference, I am a 25 year old female. Since 2011, I have suffered from cystic acne, irregular cycles, and very low sex drive. First, dermatologists put me on antibiotics for the acne, which didn't help. Then I went to a holistic doctor who said I had candida and a yeast allergy. I did the candida diet for quite some time, but the acne problem always seemed to come and go. The other issues never resolved. I tried going off of birth control and I tried going back on it. The fact remained, I had not had a regular cycle since I started my period when I was 14. My new doctor recommended I get my hormone levels tested and somehow, through my own research, I got turned on to the idea of estrogen dominance. The more I read, the more it sounded like me. I came across these pills through one of the blogs I read and purchased a 120 capsule supply. The night after I had my blood drawn to check hormone levels, I started these pills - two capsules twice daily. Well, my labs came back and the doctor said my hormone levels were all normal, but I decided to keep at it anyway. After all, after years of failed treatments, what did I have to lose? Two months after starting that first bottle, everything has changed. My cystic acne is all but gone, though, to be fair, I am also using topical treatments. What cannot be explained by topical acne treatments is that my sex drive has come back in full force and my cycles have slowly evened out. Over the course of two months my cycles have gone from 15 to 20 to 28 days and counting! I can hardly believe it!! I have never in my life had a 28 day cycle! Because my results have been so positive, I feel like I should perhaps scale it back to the recommended daily dose and see how that goes. I'm not sure why my labs showed normal estrogen levels when this is clearly helping. Either way, I will continue to take it for as long as I'm seeing results like these!

Hello all!....this product, combined with my natural progesterone has just been nothing short of a MIRACLE....for years Ive had trouble with either periods, moods, bloating...heavy bleeding leading to anemia (had to get weekly iron infusions), infertility....every doctor I went to throughout the years always tried to get me on either birth control or for me to consider a hysterectomy...good grief!...is that my only options???...so I began taking my own health into my own hands and researched, researched, researched...tried different natural alternatives...eating better (YES organic and 100% grass fed meats DO help)...i had been reading about the benefits of natural progesterone...have been using it for 3 months now and have seen dramatic differences in my daily feelings (increased libido, for instance..my hubby sure is happier!) and menstrual cycles, then I began reading about estrogen metabolism and DIM... After reading so many positive things about it I gave it a try...well....Im so impressed...my skin is clearer, smoother....my cycle?..lighter, no cramps and came normally (26 days vs 23!)...ive even lost a inch or so around my abdomen area (bad bad estrogen!) without working out! (have finally enough energy to start zumba classes soon) Today, I cried a little because I finally feel like Im getting my life back and not a slave to my body....so women, don't give up and just believe what the Dr. says especially if you are only being offered drugs or major surgery...there is an in between...poor estrogen metabolism affects SOOO much in our bodies and its caused by so many everyday things we use....soaps, shampoos, lotions, foods....but change a lil bit every day...in some cases its a bit more expensive (like organics and grass fed) but in the end it will be worth it...vs. a costly medical procedure that you may not even need...or can pay for.
