DIM (Diindolylmethane)

I3C is chemically unstable and too fragile to be reliably formulated into a supplement, in contrast to DIM. DIM's antiviral activity against HPV is supported in part by patent filings that contain consolidated, peer-reviewed research summaries. The National Cancer Institute is actively researching DIM as a treatment for HPV infection, with early results described as showing strong positive outcomes. DIM may possess a broader antiviral mechanism rather than being narrowly targeted to HPV. Unlike its precursor I3C, DIM is stable enough to be dehydrated and encapsulated as a dietary supplement. DIM is a compound found naturally in cruciferous vegetables, produced when Indole-3-Carbinol converts to DIM during digestion.
