Hi,
I'm taking it. There are no side effects from what I studied about it. I take 400 units a day (don't remember if that is mg or mcg. But it is 2 pills.) My doctor said is it just fine as it is more or less just concentrated broccoli.
Look on the web and you will find scientific studies done on it at real universities, it regulates the bodies estrogen.... and it even seems to protect from certain types of cancer.
Like I said in my other post there are two types of I3C.. one made from flax seed... one made from Broccoli. I found that the one made from flax did nothing for me... took it for 2 months.
I started on the one from broccoli and in about 2 weeks I noticed the hair on my chin was growing slower... I would shave the hair in the morning and didn't have a 5 o-clock shadow at all.. I use to have to shave 2 times a day at least.
Several of my skin tags have falling off, I didn't even know when it happened, just seems like every few mornings I have a few less.
I was on the good one less than a month and had a normal period without any problems (first time in more than 8 years) and if I want, I can go a day or so without shaving, the hair is not growing that fast and it seems to be thinning. If I were blonde (I have dark hair) it probably wouldn't show much even after 2 days.
I feel better on it, over all. I would not give it up for the world. I don't know why more people don't know about it. It's great.
Only thing, if you are not thinking about getting preggers, you might want to consider watching for ovulation etc, I think it might work too good.... I think it has made me ovulate.
About insurance, unless you have one of those plans that covers over the counters and herbals, it probably is not covered. It's a herbal you get in herbal stores. I pay almost 40 dollars a month for it, but wouldn't trade it for the world.
