Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a compound found in high concentrations in vegetables of the Brassica family such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage or brussels sprouts. As a powerful antioxidant it helps to prevent cellular damage and is also known to support the liver's detoxification processes as well as normal cellular reproduction. I3C assists in maintaining a healthy hormonal balance for both men and women. It appears to positively influence a healthy balance of estrogens which is present in the body as the "good" 2-hydroxyestrone and the "bad" 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone. I3C can tip the balance of estrogens in favor of the good form.*
