Can Indol Ultra be taken together with hormonal medicines or other food supplements? — Broccoli Extract "Indole-Ultra" 50 tablets 500 mg - Farm Group

Indole-3-carbinol is involved in oestrogen metabolism at the level of the liver's enzyme systems. This means that, in theory, it may interact with substances that are also metabolised via these pathways — including hormonal contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy and a number of other medicines.

The manufacturer recommends consulting a doctor before use, and if you take hormonal products, it is especially important to agree on the supplement with a specialist before you start. This is not a formality — there is a real need to assess compatibility in your specific situation.

As for other food supplements: there is no universal ban, but you should avoid duplication — if you are already taking a complex with indole-3-carbinol or other cruciferous extracts, there is no point in adding another source of the same substance unnecessarily. If you are seeing a doctor for any reason, tell them about all the supplements you take — this is a standard and important part of using nutraceuticals safely.
