Does DIM work better than Armidex and/or Nolvadex?

[The_Skeptic]

I'm not one hundred percent certain yet, but it seems like I get better results using DIM to control my E2 than when I use Arimidex and Nolvadex.

I've used DIM on and off for the last few months only to stop when I get a hold of Arimidex, thinking this will be better. But Arimidex doesn't seem to give me the libido boost or control my E2 as well as DIM. Granted, I take about double of the recommended dosage of DIM.

Can you tell us what brand DIM you're using and what dosage? I may end up needing something once the HCG I'm taking kicks in. My E2 level was around 31 at last check but as I get T up to where I should be I bet I'm into the 40's on E2.

It's called DIM-Plus by Nature's Way. It contains the patented BioResponse-DIM Complex, which from what I understand, is the magic ingredient. In other words, DIM without this is useless. I guess that is what the "plus" is all about.

The recommended dosage is 2 x 100mg tablets twice daily with food, but I usually take four or five at a time just once a day. I found that works better. Sometimes I take four in the afternoon and two or three later on. I've never taken more than eight in a day. Then if my E is in control, I go days without taking it.

However, I'm still in the experimenting stages so I'm not completely sold on this yet. It might just be a fluke. But this week, I'm going to take DIM and lay off the ARimidex.

I buy the DIM-Plus at the Vitamin Store in Miami. It costs like $12 for a bottle of 60 capsules.

This is the first kind of DIM I tryed before using Arimidex to get my E2 down. It did nothing but this was 4 yrs. ago I think the patented BioResponse-DIM Complex is Indolplex a product that helps the DIM get into you blood stream before it is killed in your belly. If your doing Arimidex wait at least 5 days before taking DIM I have a bad reaction to this.

I would love to see your tests before DIM and after both Estradiol and Total E's I do feel doing the DIM drove up my Total E's it was 400 plus at a lot of times on DIM. I had my best luck doing Indolplex/DIM started on one tablet I like this because you can cut the talbets in half or in 1/4's. I did one pill a day for a week now bear in mind my E2 was all ready down when I tryed it. In less then a week my morning wood came back so much so that it woke me up most of the night. I was told by David Z to watch out for this it means your E2 is in the right zone. He also told me if wood stops it means you went to low and to stop the DIM until wood comes back. Then go back on it but cut the dose in half. I was doing dam good on just 1/2 a tablet.

I don't do DIM now because at the time my levels for total t were 600 going to shots and adding HCG my levels are now up at 1000 my range is 262 to 1593 so I am good at this levels and feel my best. Problem is one tablet of DIM is all I could take with out bad sides. So now I just do .5 mgs. of Arimidex every 3 days.
