DISCUSSION:
I•3•C 200is indole-3-carbinol (I3C),
a phytonutrient found in cruciferous
vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts,
cabbage, and bok choi. Research suggests that
I3C is responsible for many of the health
benefits of cruciferous vegetables, by
supporting a better balance of estrogen
metabolite formation.

Suggested Use
Take one capsule twice a day. Do not take I•3•C
200 at the same time as antacids, H2-receptor
blockers (eg. Zantac®), or proton-pump
inhibitors (eg. Nexium®), as these drugs may
impede the conversion of I3C to some active
metabolites. Or as directed by a qualified
health consultant.
Main Applications
As reported by literature:
• Safer estrogen metabolism.
• Risk reduction for women’s cancers.
• Respiratory Papillomatosis (RP)
Source
Synthesis from indole.
Pregnancy / Nursing
No studies have been conducted. Best to avoid.
Cautions
• Because I3C enhances some detoxification
enzymes, it may change the bioavailability of
many drugs, including, but not limited to,
methadone, cyclosporine, codeine, statin drugs,
and most of the protease inhibitors used to
treat HIV. Consult with your physician if you
are taking any medications before taking I3C.
• I3C and DIM exert powerful and pluripotent
effects on estrogen metabolism and
biotransformative enzymes. Consult with a
physician.
• Have regular mammograms and Pap smears.
• Do not attempt to self-diagnose or
self-medicate reproductive cancers.
