Dim for Insomnia?

GertJr (Madison) on 11/17/2020

I had started lifting weights since someone said it would help insomnia and I was telling them that it had not helped me at all and then someone else recommended DIM. I am postmenopausal, a few pounds over ideal weight, take pure food multivitamin, D3, K2, niacin, zinc, AREDs, and 20 mg melatonin (10 instant, 10 time release) daily. Do you think DIM will help with my sleep? Will it give me diarrhea (I have IBSd. Please do not suggest magnesium, as it triggers my diarrhea). I also read that DIM helps with energy and weight loss, so that would be good. Thanks.

I was suffering terribly with hot flashes, low sex drive, insomnia, night sweats and mood swings since going through menopause. With all of the scary news in the press about chemical hormone replacement therapy, I decided that synthetic HRT is not for me. A friend of mine told me about DIM (diindolylmethane) and I did some reseach on it. I decided to give it a try and I'm glad that I did because the results have been fabulous. I've had fewer and less severe hot flashes, increased sex drive and I sleep much better. My boyfriend is grateful that I have found a solution.

Dim for Menstrual Pain

I initially bought DIM for weight control; however, I also noticed several reviews which stated that it helped with menstrual pain. While I'm not sure about the weight control benefits, I can say that after decades of dealing with menstrual pain every month, this product is nothing short of a miracle in alleviating the pain! I only wish I had discovered it years ago.
