Ingredient Spotlight: DIM & Calcium D-Glucarate
WHAT ARE THEY?
DIM (Diindolylmethane) and Calcium D-Glucarate are two natural compounds that work as a team to support healthy oestrogen metabolism. DIM is derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale, while Calcium D-Glucarate is a calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, also found naturally in fruits and vegetables. Individually, each plays a different role in how your body handles oestrogen. Together, they cover the full process from start to finish.
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR CYCLE BALANCE
- Oestrogen-progesterone balance: Supports a healthier ratio between oestrogen and progesterone - a common underlying driver of PMS and cycle irregularity.
- Lighter, more regular periods: Supporting proper oestrogen clearance may help reduce heavy or irregular bleeding linked to excess oestrogen activity.
- PMS symptom relief: Bloating, breast tenderness, and mood changes in the lead-up to your period are often oestrogen-related - this duo targets the underlying process.
- Hormonal skin support: Chin and jawline breakouts are closely tied to hormone fluctuation - supporting clearance helps address this at the source.
WHY WE PAIRED THEM IN CYCLE BALANCE
Most products that include DIM stop there, but redirecting oestrogen metabolism is only half the job. If it isn't properly cleared, it can simply recirculate. That's why we paired DIM with Calcium D-Glucarate, so Cycle Balance supports the full process, not just one step of it. It's a small detail, but it's the difference between a formula that sounds good on paper and one that's actually built to work.
