Indol-3-Carbinol?

I have been reading about indol-3-carbinol. Apparently, it can fight cancer, and acts as a powerful anti-estrogenic. One of the websites I read talked about an ancient roman physician, CATO the Elder, using crushed up cabbage leafs to shrink breast tumors. So, IF its accurate, then its some powerful crap. I have been on a quest for a while now to make myself eat a pound of broccoli a day. I don’t know how much indol-3-carbinol them I am getting though. There are some fairly inexpensive indol-3-carbinol supplements online, and I was wondering if anyone knew enough about it to say wether taking it would give me effects similar to that of clomid or something?

that should give you some info on it. the root address has vitamin and mineral write ups as well as phytonutrients.

have you used clomid? it is quite a powerful drug. i would not expect the same effect as it works by a different mechanism. I3C at best will help you have more 2-hydroxyesterone vs. 16-hydroxesterone. the 16 is more estrogenic.

No, I have never used clomid. This is why I was posting on the forums about the I3C because I was wondering if it could potentially give me some gains.
