A phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables (i.e., cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale).  Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is the precursor to diindolylmethane (DIM) – to which it is rapidly metabolized in vivo.  Like DIM, I3C has been investigated for possible prevention/treatment of breast/prostate cancers.
