The field of medicine is one such field where breakthroughs happen every single day. Yet despite the progress that the field has seen in research of certain diseases, there are other diseases for which a cure is yet to see the light of day. Take the example of cancer which has made life difficult for millions of people around the world in all its forms.

But this has been the case until the discovery of Diindolylmethane, which has been touted by UC Berkeley scientists after almost two decades to be one of the most versatile compounds in molecular biology.

So, here are three reasons as to why DIM is getting a lot of attention from the medical community for all the right reasons:

#1: Direct Anti-Cancer Properties

Due to its direct anti-cancer properties, the compound has come under the view of the medical community as the National Cancer Institute is trying to find an alternative cure for cancer by using this compound in clinical trials for the many forms of cancer. Along with this, is the combination of using this compound with Taxol (the common medication used for the treatment of cancer) to see if it is more effective that Taxol being administered on its own.

#2: Immune modulating properties

Another reason why this compound is being given a lot of attention is due to its immune modulating properties that not only strengthens the immune system but also the body’s organs. In having this particular, it doesn’t matter which disease attack your body as the immune system is strong enough to deal with them all. Since this compound is offered as an immune system booster in the form of a supplement, you can enjoy the benefits that this compound has to offer in terms of health.
