Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C)

Indole-3-carbinol is produced by the breakdown of the glucosinolate glucobrassicin, which can be found at relatively high levels in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, collard greens and kale. It is also available in dietary supplements.

Indole-3-carbinol is the subject of ongoing biomedical research into its possible anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, and anti-atherogenic effects.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has reviewed indole-3-carbinol (I3C) as a possible cancer preventive agent and is now sponsoring clinical research for breast cancer prevention. As evidence shows that higher consumption of fruit and vegetable correlates with a decreased risk of developing cancer, I3C supplements may be efficient in cancer prevention. Currently, people are attaching more and more importance to I3C supplements as their potential effects of preventing cancer.

Article shows that Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) treatment diminished tumor proliferation and increased apoptosis, although tumor embolization and liver metastasis appeared in some animals. The anti-tumor effect adds great value to it and Indole 3 Carbinol (I3C) is often used in health care products which can also serve as pharmaceutical intermediates.
