DIM or Diindolylmethane

DIM is a indole phytochemical, which is a derived from elements found cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, cabbage and brussels sprouts. Dim is has some anti-androgenic properties, which may eventually mean that it may have some value in aiding with prostate and breast cancer.

Dim has been suggested to have some ability to help increase testosterone production in men; although we saw little evidence that this is a real attribute of this substance. In fact there is more proof available that it can help promote the growth of cervical tissue in women, as well as promote estrogen production. As mentioned above it is also being studied as a method to help aid with prostate and breast cancer; although once again this does not mean it can augment sexual function.

Also, there have been so few clinical trials actually conducted on this element, that there is little guidance available regarding the appropriate dosage for this element. There is no way of knowing what amount is best suited to address which aliment. Clearly additional studies need to be conducted on this element.

There is one element, which we feel can actually increase testosterone production - Tribulus Terrestris. This herbal extract is derived from a plant that is found throughout Asia. It contains saponins, polysaccharides, sterols, flavonoids, and fatty acids, and it has been shown to be able to naturally enhance testosterone production in users. This can then help boost overall sexual functioning in men; revitalizing libido, potency and sexual stamina.

This is important because men begin to produce less testosterone as they get older, and in fact this process usually begins at age 40; although it can begin sooner, or be brought on by stress. Many men who have incorporated Tribulus Terrestris into their lifestyle, have reported that they have noticed a real increase in sexual performance and feeling

• May be eventually be proven to aid with breast and prostate cancer

• Not a true male sexual fitness agent
• Little research suggests its ability to augment sexual functioning

DIM may eventually be proven to be a way to help with prostate or breast cancer, as well as a method to help women generate cervical tissue and estrogen. However, we doubt that it will help men who are seeking help with sexual problems boost their performance. In fact we believe they will be sorely disappointed in the results; regardless of what manufactures would have us believe.

Those who really want a noticeable boost in sexual health may want to seek out products that contain the above mentioned herbal extracts - Tribulus Terrestris and Yohimbe.

Tribulus Terrestris is most often used to boost testosterone production and increase sexual performance in a rather amazing fashion; and Yohimbe has an ability to drastically increase erectile functioning in users. These two elements are often used in conjunction with Damiana an aphrodisiac that is so effective, that it is used extensively throughout Europe to boost sexual desire and virility in users.
