Thornes Hormone Advantage (formerly DIM Advantage) combines diindolylmethane (DIM), pomegranate extract, and sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS; from broccoli seed extract) to support balanced hormone health by helping the body metabolize and detoxify excess estrogen. Estrogen that is not properly metabolized can lead to weight gain, low energy, moodiness, imbalances of testosterone or progesterone levels and an overall feeling of just not being yourself. Imbalances in hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, can significantly influence a womans monthly cycle. Excess estrogens are linked to irregular, heavy, or uncomfortable menstrual cycles. These hormone imbalances can also contribute to breast tenderness, bloating, and mood changes related to PMS. Hormone Advantage may support for a smooth monthly transition; balance of hormone levels related to breast tenderness, mood changes, and other symptoms that occur before menses; promote the clearance of estrogen- mimicking toxins encountered in daily life like those toxins found in pesticides, herbicides, and plastics. Long-term benefits include support for breast, cervical, and uterine health and improved ratio of healthy-to- less-healthy estrogen.
Not Just for Women! Although the bodys process to balance and detoxify estrogen is similar in both men and women, the benefits are very different. Wellness Benefits for Men include enhanced level of testosterone; support for prostate health; promote an optimal ratio of estrogen to testosterone. Men with excess estrogen can develop enlarged breast tissue or experience less than ideal erectile function. Hormone Advantage assists with reduction of estrogen receptor activation in areas of high receptor density, such as in breast and erectile tissue. Reducing excess estrogen aids in physical fitness, energy, and weight management.
