A member asked:

What must one know before using indole-3-carbinol supplements?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Caveat emptor: The claim that this is an anti-cancer medication relies on some petri-dish, cell-culture work and looks like a common scam to this observer. Claims for an effect on lupus are under study; this is something you'll want to talk about with your rheumatologist if you're considering using it for this indication.
