HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DIM 150 mg by OL Olympian Labs Performance Sports Nutrition

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: diindolylmethane (DIM), a compound derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. The inactive ingredients are a vegetarian capsule, rice flour, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and ascorbyl palmitate (a form of vitamin C used as a preservative).

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Diindolylmethane's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: testosterone protection and estrogen balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Prostate cancer, Hormonal balance, Testosterone levels.
  • The closest evidence on file: Diindolylmethane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Diindolylmethane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Prostate cancer.

The evidence we hold on diindolylmethane for its intended uses—including benign prostate enlargement, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical dysplasia, and breast pain—shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of these conditions. That means the data available so far isn't strong enough to say whether it works.

More research is needed.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Diindolylmethane

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Diindolylmethane is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but long-term safety is not well established. The most common side effects are diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting.

A rare serious reaction called DRESS (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) has been reported. One case of stroke was reported in a patient taking diindolylmethane, but that person had multiple risk factors for stroke and used other supplements, so it's unclear what role diindolylmethane played.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy due to possible effects on hormones. There isn't enough data to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Diindolylmethane.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 269 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take estrogens (birth control or hormone replacement therapy) or diuretic drugs—both carry moderate interaction risk. Also flag any medications metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP1A2, which this supplement may affect at a minor level.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

DIM 150 mg is generally well tolerated at standard doses, but the evidence that it actually works for its marketed purposes isn't established in our data. If you take estrogen (birth control or hormone therapy), diuretics, or medications metabolized through your liver, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product, since interactions are documented.

Long-term safety isn't well studied, and it's best avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

General Statements

Men have estrogen too (not just women), and the more your body has can actually decrease your testosterone levels. Diindolymethane (DIM) converts strong and damaging forms of estrogen into weaker forms so your testosterone is protected and your balance of testosterone to estrogen ratio is in check. Research shows higher levels of testosterone and low levels of estrogen have been linked to lean muscle mass, an efficient fat-burning metabolism, and low abdominal fat. Olympian Labs, Inc. products are made with the highest quality ingredients and manufactured according to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).

Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, diindolylmethane might increase the risk of hyponatremia if used with sodium-depleting diuretics.
Large doses of diindolylmethane (600 mg daily) have been associated with two cases of asymptomatic hyponatremia in clinical research.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Estrogens

Theoretically, diindolylmethane might increase or decrease the effects of estrogens.
Diindolylmethane might have mild estrogenic or antiestrogenic effects. Theoretically, large amounts of diindolylmethane might interfere with hormone replacement therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, diindolylmethane might lower serum levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that diindolylmethane can induce CYP1A2. Theoretically, it might increase metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates and lower serum concentrations. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

DIM 150 mg by OL Olympian Labs Performance Sports Nutrition: Common Questions

Does DIM 150 mg by OL Olympian Labs Performance Sports Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, DIM 150 mg has a known interaction with 269 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
DIM 150 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take DIM if I'm on birth control?
Diindolylmethane interacts with estrogens, including those in birth control. It might increase or decrease how your birth control works, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product—they can advise based on your specific situation.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common side effects are diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting. Most people tolerate it well in short-term use, but side effects vary from person to person.
Is DIM safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because diindolylmethane may affect hormones. There isn't enough data to know if it's safe while breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing or pregnant.
Does DIM actually work for prostate health or breast cancer?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to say whether diindolylmethane works for benign prostate enlargement, breast cancer, or the other conditions it's marketed for. More research is needed.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
This product interacts with 269 individual medications, but most of that span comes from the CYP1A2 liver pathway—diindolylmethane may affect how your body metabolizes drugs that use that route. The most significant interactions are with estrogens and diuretics.
