HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DIM Supreme by Solaray

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Broccoli Seed Extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

DIM Supreme contains three active ingredients. Diindolylmethane is a compound derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage.

Sulforaphane is another plant compound from broccoli and related vegetables. Broccoli seed extract serves as a whole-plant source.

The product also includes inactive ingredients — cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica — which are fillers and binders that help form the capsule.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: women's health and hormone balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Breast cancer, Cervical dysplasia, Uterine cancer, Menopause symptoms, Hormonal acne — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Diindolylmethane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Breast cancer (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Diindolylmethane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Uterine cancer, Cervical dysplasia, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
  • Also on file: Sulforaphane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cancer.

The evidence for diindolylmethane is thin. Studies haven't established reliable proof it works for benign prostatic hyperplasia, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical dysplasia, or mastalgia (breast pain).

Sulforaphane shows possibly effective evidence for prostate cancer, though the data we hold for other uses — hay fever, asthma, and cancer generally — is insufficient to rate. Because the research is limited or mixed, we can't tell you this product will deliver results for any specific condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Diindolylmethane Broccoli Sulforaphane

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • 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 use, though long-term safety isn't well studied. 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. Sulforaphane is similarly well tolerated, with most people experiencing mild gut upset, heartburn, or vomiting; headache, insomnia, and irritability have been reported in some cases, and two cases of seizure occurred in males with autism.

For pregnancy, diindolylmethane is rated likely safe, but sulforaphane concentrated supplements haven't been proven safe in pregnancy — stick to normal food amounts instead. While breastfeeding, diindolylmethane safety data is too thin to know either way, and sulforaphane supplement-level doses are also understudied.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Diindolylmethane, Sulforaphane.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 797 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 DIM Supreme, check with your pharmacist if you take estrogen-based medications like birth control or hormone replacement therapy — diindolylmethane may alter how your body handles them. Also flag sodium-depleting diuretics (water pills), and any drug metabolized by the liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP3A4, or CYP2E1 — sulforaphane and diindolylmethane may change how your body processes these medications.

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 Supreme is best suited for people taking no medications, or those whose medications don't depend on liver enzymes for metabolism. If you take birth control, hormone replacement therapy, diuretics, or any prescription drug metabolized by your liver, check your exact medications with our tool before adding this product.

Because effectiveness evidence is limited and long-term safety isn't well established, have a conversation with your pharmacist about whether it fits your health goals.

Diindolylmethane3 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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Broccoli Seed Extract2 drug types · 187 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of fresh broccoli daily for 6-12 days can increase CYP1A2 activity by 10% to 200%. Induction of CYP1A2 activity by broccoli is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2A6.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of broccoli daily for 6 days increases CYP2A6 activity by 135% to 550%. Induction of CYP2A6 activity is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

DIM Supreme by Solaray: Common Questions

Does DIM Supreme by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, DIM Supreme has a known interaction with 797 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
DIM Supreme contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
What is diindolylmethane, and where does it come from?
Diindolylmethane is a natural compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and kale. It's the active ingredient in this product that works to support certain body processes, though evidence for specific health conditions is still limited.
Can I take DIM Supreme while pregnant?
Diindolylmethane is rated likely safe in pregnancy based on available data. However, sulforaphane concentrated supplements haven't been proven safe during pregnancy — stick to eating broccoli and other foods instead. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice, since every pregnancy is different.
What are the most common side effects?
The main side effects are digestive: diarrhea, gas, nausea, vomiting, and heartburn. Headache and rash can also occur. These tend to be mild and are reported by a small number of people in studies.
Does this product have any proof it works?
Sulforaphane has possibly effective evidence for prostate cancer. For other uses like breast health, prostate enlargement, or cancer prevention, the evidence is too thin to say whether it works. The research is still developing.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Long-term safety for either diindolylmethane or sulforaphane supplements isn't well studied. Short-term use appears tolerated, but we don't have solid data on what happens when people take them for months or years. Discuss duration with your pharmacist.
What's in the capsule besides the active ingredients?
The capsule contains cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica — these are inactive fillers and binders that help form and preserve the capsule. They're standard in supplements and don't provide therapeutic effects.
