The Claim
Some proponents claim that DIM increases testosterone levels, making it a popular supplement among men seeking to enhance athletic performance and muscle growth.
Origin
This myth likely arises from the idea that DIM reduces estrogen levels, which in turn could lead to a relative increase in testosterone.
What Science Says
Current research, including several RCTs, does not support the claim that DIM significantly boosts testosterone levels in men. Studies suggest that while DIM might influence estrogen metabolism, it does not directly increase testosterone levels. The evidence indicates no significant impact on testosterone production.
Verdict
False
