Are DIM products goitrogenic? Can DIM products be used with hypothyroid patients?

Chris Kresser: It’s a good question I think you’re asking me because DIM is often isolated from cruciferous vegetables and plants. I’ve never seen any research looking specifically at DIM supplements and whether they have a great goitrogenic effect. But I have seen in some cases that patients taking DIM products can experience a change in their thyroid function. So whereas in other cases we don’t see that. So I think you just need to take it on a case-by-case basis.
