High Absorption Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C), 200 mg per Capsule, 120 Vegan Capsules, 4 Month Supply, 5 mg BioPerine for Enhanced Absorption, 100% Vegetarian, All-Natural and Non-GMO

For the quality , quantity and price I think this is a good deal, I've just begun bio identical hormones and my NP asked that I add this supplement. I will update after my next labs. UPDATE: I haven’t done a lot of search for a better price but it looks like this is a good deal for 120 capsules . I did have a recent appt but no labs . They ssid that this helps break down estran which is an aggressive form of estrogen and she’ll ck labs in 6 mo. My last levels were pretty high so I’ve been trying to take 400 / dy. If levels are normal then I can decrease to one or two per day. After reading some of the other reviews I have noticed similiar results and am glad I’ve been on this . May even get my daughter to start a low dose. The taste is quite different but fir the benefits it’s worth it . UPDATE . I’m on bottle # 3 . I received a message about the smell . Yeah it does smell and taste bad but all my orders have , nothing new or different . I’ve taken manufactured meds that were terrible also and I’d rather take these natural smelly one than the man made . I feel good . These were recommended to me by my NP and we are trying to get an aggressive estrogen level down . I will have a recheck in the fall and we will see if these helped . I have been taking 4 / dy and if the levels are down I’ll. Go to 1-2/dy. There are some great benefits from taking this and I’ll kerp it in my supplements. I think this product is the best value too .

Update 1/18/21: I have now been taking these for over a year and the concern about color has not seemed to change the potency. There have been no more problems with Fibrosystic breast lumps so I will continue to take this. One change I have made is to also include calcium d glucarate which aides I3C in ridding the body of excess estrogen. Update 2/24/20: The current batch I just received is a brownish color, unlike the bright green of my previous order and it does not smell strong like the previous batch. This leaves an uneasy feeling about what your actually getting. Original review January/2020: Five star!!! Although these do have an odor which can smell like moth balls, and I would recommend swallowing them immediately with plenty of water, but if this is the worse you can expect than I'd say their benefits far outweigh their slight issues! I have had trouble with fibrocystic breasts for most of my life. I've had to be careful with any caffeinated foods or drinks since these would make the problem worse. I have had suspicious mammograms resulting in a lumpectomy that turned out to be benign growths. Since then, I have avoided mamograms like the plague due to the pain from the cysts. Now that I am older, I have had a fibrocystic lump that has grown rather large for the past few years. I have read bioidentical progesterone can help reduce these which had helped some, but not completely. Then I found information in my research that showed I3c can help metabolize bad estrogen which also helps with breast health so I decided to try it out. I have only taken these for 1 month and all I can say is wow! The large lump which I had been trying to reduce for the past year has almost vanished! I am eager to see how things are when the bottle is finished!

I got this supplement after reading that it's great for supporting female reproductive health. I've read that it's also effective for combating hpv viruses. I have hpv so I started taking this supplement to ensure I don't get cervical cancer or need more surgeries to remove precancerous cells. I've been taking two daily for a week and a half now and I'm happy to report that I haven't experienced any unpleasant side effects. The capsules stink to high heaven but that's how you know it's good quality. All cruciferous veggies stink so it just kind of comes with the territory. Hold your breath and down them quickly and you shouldn't have any issues. This is a great value for the price and I will be reordering soon.

Excellent product!!

I was viewing an exercise/nutrition video for a program which I really had no intention of purchasing - it was geared toward pre and post menopausal women so I was curious to hear how the "inventor" of the program was explaining and addressing the issues we women of that age face. They mentioned "estrogen overload" so I started to research that and that is when I came across information about Indole-3-Carbinol - where it is found in nature and what it might help. I also read that it may help lower estrogen levels which might ease some of the pre-menopausal symptoms I face. I've had very mild night sweats for years but over the last several months it got really bad - to the point I was wearing athletic clothing to bed to help wick away the moisture because it was waking me up so much. I've been taking one pill daily for a month now and I am no longer having night sweats at all....and they stopped soon after I started taking it. I'm not certain exactly how long it took - it just dawned on me one day soon after starting that I wasn't having night sweats any more. I am still getting warm at night, but nothing that wakes me up and no sweating so I am very happy. I don't think I notice any other benefit or side effects from taking it - but many of the benefits I've read about wound't necessarily be felt - like possibly reducing the likelihood of some cancers. While I love most of the vegetables that this is found in, it is so much easier to to be consistent with symptom relief when taking a daily pill so I will continue taking it. I read many reviews before ordering and there was a lot of mention of the mothball smell/taste with this product - that is definitely true, but I got over it pretty quick. I take 2 other daily supplements and often a daily allergy pill, so I make sure to down this one first and then the others and drink lots of water and I never even taste it anymore.

Love its-- the best Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C).

Health benefits: Great product and was highly recommended by my doctor.

EDIT: Although Amazon doesn't allow returns on these types of items, I decided to email the company directly, and I am impressed with their customer service. Sam responded immediately to my complaint and issued me a quick refund. The problem with my bottle seemed to be that the inner seal did not seal properly, thus causing the capsules to dry out in storage. They shrivel up inside the capsule, turn dark brown, and lose that funky smell. So if you get a bottle similar, this is probably the issue. It's not a common occurrence, but sometimes things go wrong in production/handling/shipping/etc. Email them, they stand behind their products and are a great company to deal with! Fastest customer service that I've dealt with in a long time! Thanks, Zazzee! I've changed my rating to reflect the company's handling of the situation. Back on track! These are not the same capsules that I've been getting for about 6 months now, which were good to go until now. I don't usually leave bad reviews for mistakes that can be corrected, but now that I got ripped off and can't return them for a refund... The product is either different or so old and/or stored improperly that they dried up/dehydrated and changed from the usual beige color with a foul odor, to a dark brown color and no odor at all. The powdery substance inside has hardened into one solid piece, and the inside seal on the bottle was broken(probably the cause of the dry-up). Quality control! I don't trust these anymore...
