Indole Forté™
Supports Healthy Estrogen Metabolism for Both Men and Women†
Benefits and Features
Indole compounds like those in cruciferous vegetables help protect tissues such as the breast, cervix, and prostate against the effects of undesirable estrogen metabolites.†
Detail Overview
Indole compounds favorably influence steroid hormone metabolism and help rebalance estrogen in favor of 2-hydroxyestrone, a protective estrogen metabolite.† Dietary indoles also stimulate liver detoxification enzymes, protect DNA, and regulate cell cycle progression.† Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), the most prominent dietary indole, readily breaks down in the presence of stomach acid into diindolylmethane (DIM) and other associated indole compounds that are subsequently absorbed. Indole Forté™ contains I3C, DIM, and other indoles for broad protection.

Indole Forté™ contains a mixture of two important dietary indoles, indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and diindolylmethane (DIM). Since I3C undergoes biochemical transformation to related indole metabolites, broad-spectrum indoles may be present upon absorption.
Suggested Use
Adults: 1 capsule, 1 to 2 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Allergy Statement
Made without common allergens: milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, soybeans, and sesame. Non-GMO Vegan, No synthetic colors or flavors.
Caution
Consult your physician If you are pregnant or nursing, or have a medical condition, or taking prescription drugs, or under the age of 18 years. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Indole Forté™ is a mixture of dietary indole compounds found in broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, and other cruciferous vegetables. This specific group of phytonutrients supports healthy tissues of the breast, cervix, and prostate and may also support estrogen balance, detoxification enzymes of the liver, and exert other cell-protective benefits in both men and women.†
Maintaining estrogen balance and efficient estrogen metabolism is essential to preserving healthy tissues such as those of the breast, cervix, and prostate. Xenobiotics (substances foreign to the body) such as pesticides, poor diet, and genetic factors can shift the ratio and presence of estrogen metabolites in the body, encouraging dominance of less desirable estrogen metabolites, such as 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone. Research suggests that dietary indoles, as found in broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables, may exert a protective effect on tissues of the breast, cervix, and prostate by supporting the shifting the balance of estrogens to the more favorable metabolites.†

I3C is a major dietary indole compound in cruciferous vegetables with important cell- and estrogen metabolism-supporting actions. Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a breakdown product of I3C. Research suggests that DIM may be responsible for many of the beneficial actions attributed to I3C. Indole Forté™ provides a spectrum of indole compounds to support estrogen balance, detoxification enzymes of the liver, and exert other cell-protective benefits in both men and women.†
Unlike some indole supplements that contain only I3C or DIM, Indole Forté™ contains a spectrum of indole compounds. Each capsule supplies 400 mg of total dietary indoles.
