Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) capsule

health food Indole-3-Carbinol ( I3C ) is a naturally occurring phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, and kale. I3C provides powerful antioxidant protection, helping to prevent cellular damage caused by free radicals. In addition I3C can help to maintain healthy hormonal balance for both men and women and therefore may support the health of the breast, prostate, and other reproductive organs. I3C is also known to support the liver's detoxification processes as well as normal cellular reproduction. Effect of indole 3 carbinol 1,Indole 3 carbinol is a blood thinner indole-3-carbinol is a potent antithrombotic agent with antiplatelet activity. It has its blood thinning effect through the inhibition of GP IIb/IIIa receptor and thromboxane B(2) formation 2,Indole 3 carbinol benefits vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia 3,Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) exhibits inhibitory and preventive effects on prostate tumors I3C has a significant inhibitory effect on prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, and offers a potential usage as both preventive and therapeutic agent for humans. 4, Indole-3-Carbinol and breast cancer The repair protein, regulated by genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2, is important for preventing damaged genetic information being passed on to the next generation of cells. If people have a faulty BRCA gene they are at a higher risk of developing some forms of cancer, including breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. Low amounts of the BRCA proteins are seen in cancer cells, so the scientists propose higher levels might prevent cancer developing. Researchers suggest the ability of indole-3-carbinol to boost the amount of BRCA proteins could explain its protective effects.
