HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DIM 400 mg by SuperSmart

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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.

DIM 400 mg is a straightforward single-ingredient supplement. The one active ingredient is diindolylmethane (a compound derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli), delivered at 400 mg per capsule.

The only other ingredient listed is acacia gum, which is an inactive binder.

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: Hormonal support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Mastalgia, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Hormone balance, Estrogen metabolism, Menopause symptoms.
  • 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 Mastalgia, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

The effectiveness of diindolylmethane isn't well established in our data. The facts we hold show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for benign prostatic hyperplasia, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical dysplasia, or mastalgia (breast pain).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research isn't conclusive enough yet to say 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.

Diindolylmethane is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, though long-term safety isn't well established. The most common side effects you might notice are diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting.

A rare but serious reaction called DRESS (a rash with fever and swollen lymph nodes) has been reported. One case of stroke was reported in someone taking 200 mg daily alongside other supplements and with significant underlying risk factors, though it's unclear if diindolylmethane played a role.

The safety data advises against using this supplement during pregnancy. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so it's best to avoid it while 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.

Check your medications against this product if you take estrogens (including birth control or hormone therapy), diuretic drugs (water pills, especially ones that lower sodium), or any drug processed through the CYP1A2 liver pathway before starting. No interactions are documented for other medications we hold data on, but the three categories above warrant a conversation with your pharmacist.

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 400 mg might be worth considering if you're interested in a diindolylmethane supplement and have no hormone-sensitive conditions or medications. If you take birth control, hormone replacement therapy, a diuretic, or any prescription medication, check with your pharmacist first — the interaction list is substantial.

The long-term safety picture isn't clear, so short-term use under guidance is the safer bet.

Diindolylmethane, Powder3 drug types · 269 drugs

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 400 mg by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does DIM 400 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, DIM 400 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 400 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 400 mg while using birth control?
This product interacts with estrogens, including hormonal birth control. Diindolylmethane might increase or decrease how your body handles the hormone, which could affect how well your birth control works. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people experience nothing, but common side effects include diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting. A rare serious reaction called DRESS can cause a rash, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Stop and call your doctor if anything unusual develops.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Short-term safety is okay, but long-term safety isn't well established. If you're considering ongoing use, that's a conversation worth having with your pharmacist or doctor.
Can I use this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against using DIM during breastfeeding. During pregnancy, the rating is likely safe, but for personalized advice on either, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
Does DIM actually work for cancer or prostate health?
The research evidence we have is insufficient to say whether it works for those uses — or for breast pain, cervical dysplasia, or colorectal cancer. It's not established one way or the other yet.
Will this interact with my water pill?
Yes, possibly. Diindolylmethane might increase the risk of low sodium if you take a sodium-depleting diuretic. Large doses have been linked to this in a few cases. Check with your pharmacist before starting.
