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: DIM (diindolylmethane), 150 mg per capsule. DIM is a compound found naturally in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—vegetarian capsule material, rice flour, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and ascorbyl palmitate—which serve as fillers and stabilizers.

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 through estrogen modulation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Prostate cancer, hormonal balance, testosterone support.
  • 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.

We hold no data showing DIM is effective for the conditions it's marketed for—benign prostate enlargement, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical dysplasia, or breast pain (mastalgia). The evidence for each of these is insufficient to rate.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research we have isn't strong enough to make a claim either way.

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.

DIM is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but how safe it is over the long haul isn't well established. The most common side effects are mild—diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting.

A rare serious rash called DRESS (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) has been reported. One case of ischemic stroke (clot in the brain) was reported in a woman taking DIM along with several other supplements, but she had multiple stroke risk factors, so it's unclear if DIM played a role.

Because DIM can affect hormones and long-term safety isn't clear, the safety data advise against it during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information to know whether it's okay while breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Diindolylmethane

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're on estrogens (like birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy)—DIM might change how well they work. Also flag any diuretics (water pills) you take, and any medications processed by the liver enzyme CYP1A2 (a category that includes some antidepressants, asthma drugs, and others).

No interactions are documented for the inactive ingredients.

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 may be right for someone interested in its potential hormonal or cancer-prevention effects, but the evidence for those uses is thin. If you take estrogens (birth control or hormone replacement), diuretics, or medications your liver breaks down quickly, you'll want to talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

Pregnant people should avoid it. For anyone else, the main caution is that long-term safety data are lacking.

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.

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?
Not without checking first. DIM may shift how your body handles estrogens, so it could make your birth control stronger or weaker. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it.
What's DIM actually for?
DIM comes from cruciferous vegetables and is studied for benign prostate growth, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical dysplasia, and breast pain. We don't have solid evidence it works for any of these yet.
What are the side effects?
Most common are diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting. A rare serious rash (DRESS) has been reported. One stroke case occurred in a woman taking it with other supplements, but she had multiple stroke risk factors.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
No. Because DIM can affect hormones, the safety data advise against it in pregnancy.
What about breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information available. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
How long is it safe to take?
Short-term safety is okay, but how safe it is long-term isn't well established. That's something to discuss with your doctor if you're thinking of taking it regularly.
