What is in DIM?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 4 capsules. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Folic Acid | 400 mcg | 100% | 24% of 7,022 products listing folate give more (median 400 mcg). Per day at the most servings: 800 mcg. |
| DIM | 200 mg | Higher than 67% of 425 products listing diindolylmethane (median 100 mg). Per day at the most servings: 400 mg. | |
| Soy Lecithin | 20 mg | 94% of 804 products listing lecithin give more (median 200 mg). Per day at the most servings: 40 mg. |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- 94% of the 804 products that print an amount of lecithin list more than its 20 mg of soy lecithin (filed by NIH under lecithin) (median 200 mg).
The NIH database records 2 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
