I did lots of research on amazon, and after spending hours figuring out which supplement came with the most milligrams of DIM for the cheapest price, I ended up ordering this one. I actually don't take a whole one each night. I open the capsule, and pour half of one into my mouth WITH WATER IN MY MOUTH. Make sure you have water in your mouth when you do this, otherwise you will burn your nasal cavity in your mouth, or might inhale it!
This has significantly changed my life. My skin was covered with cystic acne - the kind that doesn't come to the surface, and just causes swelling, bumps, and pain on your face. It was mainly on my skin and along my jaw. Since I started taking this, my acne has become regular acne, meaning it comes to a head and clears up within a short time-period, and my overall acne has significantly improved. I took it for several months, and experiences great benefits from it, from my skin, to my overall mood and happiness. I have since gotten prescribed Tretinoin to apply topically to my face for acne, but I still plan on taking this for all the reasons I have already listed. It turns your pee reddish-orange, but don't worry! That just means it is working to breakdown the negative estrogenic compounds in your body.
Note: This supplement should really only be taken at night, because it can give you an upset stomach when you first start taking it, if you are digesting it while you are awake. Also, I really do not recommend taking the whole capsule, because it is just too strong! I have built up my tolerance, and now can take the entire contents of a pill if I feel extremely hormonal, but when I first started taking this and I did that, I would get the chills, my stomach would cramp up, and I would curl up in a ball on my bed, waiting for the pain the pass. Now I have no issues at all, but I am very used to it. It still makes me tired, however, so that is one more reason to take it before bed.

I was introduced to DIM 4 years ago by a very young esthetician. I was desperate for treatment for hormonal acne. I was 38 yrs old having skin problems like I was a teen going through puberty! It was painful and embarrassing. My hormones were so out of whack. I tried skin creams, regimens, peels, and anything else I could topically. The doctors didn't help with their prescriptions of other topicals, different birth controls, and other meds with some dreadful side effects. It was maddening and nothing worked. I had gone to get another peel on my face when this young lady looked at my skin and said I had hormonal acne. She asked what I had done to treat it and I said EVERYTHING! She told me to try taking DIM. I had never heard of it, but I was anxious to try it, especially since it's a natural supplement and had to be better than all the crap the doctors were giving me. She told me I probably wouldn't need the medications anymore! I went home and ordered it immediately. It took 3-4 weeks to notice a difference, but my skin started clearing up and I noticed a drastic change to my pms symptoms and period. Nearly all of my pms symptoms subsided... like no more emotional roller coasters, no more days of being physically and mentally exhausted before I'd start, and hardly any cramps!! I was in love. I've never had one product make such a dramatic improvement to my body. I have taken DIM ever since and I tell every woman I can about it when they start mentioning hormone issues. I wondered earlier this year if I needed it anymore so I got off of it for a month, and that was a mistake. The acne started coming back and I didn't feel right anymore. My body needs the ingredients in the supplement and I'll be on it for the rest of my life if I have to. I'm not a fan of pharmaceuticals anyway, but I am a fan of natural products that better my wellness. Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already. I've tried multiple DIM brands and doses, and I haven't found a bad one yet. I do recommend starting with the lower doses to try it if you've never had it, then work your way up as you feel comfortable with. I hope it works for you as much as it does for me. I'll never let the doctors play with my hormones again. I'm not an experiment, and drugs are bad, mmmmk. 😉

After taking these capsules for a few weeks when I was fifty (I am now fifty-one), my face became very smooth and I stooped breaking out premenstrually. I had been experiencing horrible cramping in my calves and feet, especially at night, and restless legs, strange sensations under my skin, insomnia, and severe menstrual cramps that no painkillers could touch, let alone alleviate. I also suffered severe nausea and diarrhea with my period. It was getting so I was sick in bed seven days out of every month, and sometimes twice a month if my period came twice. I had to leave my full-time job and go freelance. No woman should have to live like this. I cannot take bc pills because my body doesn't tolerate them well, and emotionally they make me crazy.

I read about estrogen dominance online and ordered this supplement along with calsium glarate. After a week of taking these supplements I noticed improvement in all the above symptoms. After a few weeks I could fall asleep more easily at night. After several months, my cramps nearly disappeared "” I could ignore them and still function without taking even one Aspirin. The cramp relief was astounding and I wish I had discovered DIM in my twenties! My bleeding became more light and regular.

A couple months ago my neurologist told me not a lot is known about DIM and I should probably not take it. While my gyn and internist say DIM is fine to take, I though I would try without it. So I discontinued. Within a month all of my symptoms came back qute severely. Restless night after restless night, and then the worst menstrual cramps in my life that even a barbituate and Soma did not relieve, and I remembered that I had stopped takIng the supplements. I thought to hell with the neurologist, and I started taking the supplements again. It took about a week to notice improvements. It has been two weeks and I no longer suffer the debilitating cramping in my legs and arches of my feet. I am hoping my menstrual cramps will be bearable and without the dizzying nausea and diarrhea.

I don'now what to say about headaches. I had migraines before I took the supplement. But when I was off DIM, the migraines were occuring every day, and they were very bad. My regular migraine meds didn't help much. For me, the migraines have improved. I can go a week or two without a migraine, which is wonderful. I do notice some headaches, but before the DIM and during my non-DIM trial, every single headache would turn into a migraine. The headaches are not bad and I can ignore them easily. I don't know if they are caused by DIM, but I am willing to have these headaches if it means *not* being disabled all of my previous severe and recurrent symptoms.

If you do not be estrogen dominance, I am not sure DIM will treat what ails you, or if it will cause estrogen to become too low and this trigger other symptoms. All I can say is this supplement has changed my life for the better in major ways.

Ever since I've gotten my period when I was 11 years old, all I ever knew was suffering every time "those days" came: unbearable pain from cramps, heavy bleeding, constant nausea, vomiting, sensory hypersensitivity, dizziness, and fatigue were the first symptoms I experienced at such a young age, but as the years progressed it didn't end there. A week before my period usually PMS started hitting me with sleepiness, constipation, headache, and really bad cravings (as if my body knew that I wouldn't be able to hold a meal during my actual period). I felt like my body was fighting me every month, most NSAIDs didn't work for me due to tolerance issues and the unstoppable vomiting that only got worse when I took oral medication, so I reached a point where IV medication was necessary at every period and I surrendered myself to missing work/class becoming pretty standard every month; most people around me knew how hard dysmenorrhea was for me. I tried to make it better by doing what most people recommend in those cases, but nothing really changed much.

Through the years, old symptoms got worse and new ones kept adding themselves to the repertory. According to the gyn, my hormones and reproductive system were in "excellent condition", so he told that probably I've inherited my dysmenorrhea from my mother. Nowadays, we women are led to believe that pain and discomfort from our hormonal cycle is normal, often without an underlying problem. At least that's what big pharma wants us to believe in order to have us as customer forever. I've used to believe that, too, and in my head girls with painless and short-lived periods were really lucky. How wrong I was!

In the last few years I started reaching my own conclusions about health by researching how the body works and how could I work with my body naturally, instead that against it. But the old thought about period and luckiness remained unchanged far back in my unconscious until recently, when I encountered by chance information about how high estrogen levels were the responsible of most of the symptoms in dysmenorrhea. Investigating a natural remedy for this led me to DIM and gradually I started to see changes: lighter periods, less cramps, even weight loss surprised me as one of the changes. But it wasn't until my last period that I decided a review was necessary: for the first time in 15 years I had minimal symptoms during my menstruation and it lasted 3 DAYS. I realized that those girls in my old thought weren't "lucky", they had a HEALTHY hormone balance. I haven't tried DIM from other brands, but the money I invested in Zazzee came back multiplied in physical and emotional well being, so feel free to give it a try.

I have suffered from painful cystic hormonal acne for years. I have tried all the things from prescriptions, to lotions, face washes, supplements, you name it. None of it worked. Spironolactone sort of did, but I was getting a period every 2 weeks on it and if you can avoid medication why not.
This is my skin the cycle before starting this supplement. Other picture is the next cycle after being on this for 30 days. My skin has never been this clear before a period.
I have also tried other dim supplements and this is the best so far. Highly Recommend if you suffer from hormonal acne!!
