Ultra I-3-C 60c by Douglas Laboratories – Estrogen Metabolism Support with Indole-3-Carbinol
Ultra I-3-C capsules by Douglas Laboratories combine indole-3-carbinol with a cruciferous vegetable blend in vegetarian form. Designed for adults seeking estrogen metabolism support, the formula pairs 200 mg of I-3-C with broccoli extract, cauliflower and Brussel sprout.
Key Ultra I-3-C 60c Benefits
- Supports normal estrogen metabolism, helping the body process this hormone through its usual metabolic pathways rather than supplying estrogen itself.
- Provides targeted support for the enzyme activity involved in the normal breakdown of estrogen, a practical focus for hormone-aware wellness routines.
- Supports natural detoxification enzyme activity, helping the body carry out its everyday processing of compounds through established metabolic pathways.
How Ultra I-3-C 60c Works
Estrogen is continually processed by enzymes into compounds called metabolites. I-3-C influences these processing pathways, including the conversion of estrogen into 2-hydroxylated metabolites. This is support for normal hormone metabolism, not a source of estrogen. In the acidic environment of the stomach, I-3-C forms related compounds, including diindolylmethane (DIM), which contribute to its activity.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Indole-3-Carbinol: Supports normal estrogen processing by influencing enzymes that convert estrogen into metabolites. This role explains the formula’s focus on hormone metabolism rather than hormone replacement. I-3-C also stimulates detoxification enzymes, which help the body process compounds through its normal metabolic pathways.
- Proprietary Blend: Combines broccoli extract, cauliflower and Brussel sprout. These cruciferous vegetables naturally contain glucosinolates, plant compounds that can form indoles and related compounds during breakdown. The blend adds these vegetable ingredients alongside I-3-C; individual ingredient amounts and the extract’s standardization level are not specified.
Ultra I-3-C 60c Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking targeted nutritional support for normal estrogen metabolism.
- Adults looking for I-3-C with cruciferous vegetable ingredients in vegetarian capsules.
- Adults whose healthcare professional has reviewed hormone-related needs and potential medication interactions. Not for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ultra I-3-C 60c
What are the benefits of Ultra I-3-C 60c?
Ultra I-3-C supplies indole-3-carbinol for normal estrogen metabolism, together with a blend of broccoli extract, cauliflower and Brussel sprout. Its focus is hormone processing and natural detoxification enzyme activity; it does not supply estrogen.
Who should take Ultra I-3-C 60c?
Ultra I-3-C is intended for adults seeking indole-3-carbinol support for normal estrogen metabolism with guidance from a healthcare professional. It comes in vegetarian capsules. Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant should not take this product. People taking medicines should have their healthcare professional check suitability first.
Are there any side effects of taking Ultra I-3-C 60c?
Skin rash can occur with indole-3-carbinol, and rare increases in the liver enzyme ALT are a known caution. Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant should not take this product. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Tamper resistant package, do not use if outer seal is missing. The conversion of I-3-C to its active metabolites requires stomach acid. Therefore, antacids, H2 blockers, and proton-pump inhibitors may impede its effectiveness. I-3-C may also affect medicines processed by the CYP1A2 liver enzyme; the clinical importance is uncertain. Ask your healthcare professional to check medicines before use.
How does Ultra I-3-C 60c support overall health?
Ultra I-3-C focuses on the body’s normal processing of estrogen rather than adding a hormone. Indole-3-carbinol influences enzymes that help convert estrogen into metabolites, the compounds formed as the body processes it. This targeted role complements a balanced diet; the vegetable blend does not replace eating vegetables.
