CanPrev I-3-C 200 90Cap

I-3-C 200 delivers a therapeutic 200 mg dose of pure indole-3-carbinol in every capsule. Indole-3-carbinol, also known as I-3-C, is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, kale and cabbage. It is a phytonutrient and potent antioxidant that has been shown to activate liver enzymes that detoxify harmful substances in the body, and, in particular, to suppress the development of damaging forms of estrogen. Taking an I-3-C supplement is a practical way of getting optimal levels of this important nutrient.

Ingredient Description

Indole-3-carbinol (I-3-C) is a naturally occurring component of the cruciferous vegetable family. Animal and human studies have identified a number of its beneficial effects, including the ability to improve estrogen metabolism. It appears that I-3-C supports more favourable forms of estrogen by increasing the 2:16 hydroxyestrone ratio. An increase in 16- hydroxyestrone has been linked to PMS, PCOS, cervical dysplasia and the development of fibroids, whereas 2-hydroxyestrone has not shown any such effects. Oral supplementation with I-3-C has been found in clinical trials to increase the 2-hydroxylation of estrogens with no toxicity reported.
