HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Indolplex by Integrative Therapeutics

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.

Indolplex contains one active ingredient: diindolylmethane (DIM), a compound found naturally in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. It's been studied for its potential role in hormone metabolism and cellular health.

The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients — cellulose, hypromellose, modified food starch, silica, tocophersolan, phosphatidylcholine, and magnesium stearate — that serve as fillers, binders, and flow agents.

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: Hormone and estrogen balance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Breast cancer, Cervical dysplasia, Colorectal cancer, Mastalgia, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) — and 4 related terms.
  • 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 Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Cervical dysplasia, Mastalgia, and more.

The evidence for diindolylmethane isn't yet established for any of the conditions we've reviewed — including benign prostate enlargement (BPH), breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical dysplasia, or breast pain (mastalgia). We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current science actually supports.

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 the short term. The most common side effects are mild — diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting.

A very rare serious reaction called DRESS (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) has been reported. One case of stroke was noted in a patient taking DIM alongside other supplements, though that patient had several stroke risk factors unrelated to DIM, and it's unclear whether DIM played a role.

Long-term safety isn't well established, so use caution if you're taking it beyond short periods. Because diindolylmethane may affect hormones, the safety data advises against use in pregnancy.

There isn't enough data to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding — talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.

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 Indolplex, check with us about estrogens (including birth control and hormone replacement therapy — Moderate risk), diuretic drugs for blood pressure or swelling (Moderate risk), and any medications your liver metabolizes, particularly older antidepressants or pain relievers that are CYP1A2 substrates (Minor risk).

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.

Indolplex may be worth considering if you're interested in DIM and have no reason to avoid it, but check your medications first — especially birth control, hormone therapy, and water pills. Its effectiveness for any specific condition isn't proven yet.

Long-term safety is unknown, so discuss it with your pharmacist before starting.

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.

Indolplex by Integrative Therapeutics: Common Questions

Does Indolplex by Integrative Therapeutics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Indolplex 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?
Indolplex 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 Indolplex if I'm on birth control or hormone replacement therapy?
Not without checking first. Diindolylmethane may theoretically increase or decrease how your body handles estrogens, which could affect their effectiveness or side effects. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before you start — they can assess your specific situation.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most common ones are mild: diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting. Very rarely, a serious allergic skin reaction called DRESS has been reported. Stop and call your doctor if you develop a severe rash, fever, or swollen lymph nodes.
Is Indolplex safe to take long-term?
Long-term safety isn't well established. Short-term studies show it's generally well tolerated, but we don't have solid data on what happens with months or years of use. Discuss duration with your pharmacist if you're planning to take it regularly.
Can I take Indolplex while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data supports use in pregnancy. However, there isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding — talk with your pharmacist or doctor before you take it during lactation.
Does Indolplex actually work for prostate health or cancer prevention?
The evidence isn't there yet. We don't have reliable studies showing diindolylmethane works for benign prostate enlargement, any type of cancer, or other conditions it's marketed for. Ask your doctor about proven options for what you're trying to address.
What's diindolylmethane, and where does it come from?
It's a compound found naturally in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. Your body creates small amounts of DIM when you eat these foods. Indolplex provides a concentrated dose in capsule form.
