DC24 (I3C). This natural formula helps improve oestrogen metabolism.

Ingredients

Effects

This natural formula improves oestrogen metabolism and elimination, which helps minimize symptoms related to excess oestrogen.

One of this formula’s major effects is in regards to hormonal acne. Indeed, by improving normal hormone metabolism, this formula helps to reduce the elimination of oestrogens or androgens via the skin.

Indoles (indole-3-carbinol) are natural substances produced through the oxidation or fermentation of vegetables from the cabbage family. In the 2nd century BC, Roman politician Cato the Elder wrote about how the use of cabbage leaves could improve benign superficial tumours. It only took another 2,000 years for researchers to discover that indoles in cabbage could improve oestrogen metabolism. They help eliminate oestrogen and reduce its harmful effects, without reducing its benefits. Indoles also help prevent the formation of anogenital warts (condylomata) caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Studies have shown that rosemary leaf extracts can improve oestrogen elimination through the liver. The rosemary used in this formula has been normalized in order to guarantee the amounts of carnosic and ursolic acid, its two active ingredients.

Finally, Indian gooseberry, also known as rasayana, is used to improve oestrogen elimination through the intestines.
