Frequently Asked Questions

Does Amaranth grain, cooked affect hormones?
Yes — Amaranth grain, cooked is rich in magnesium (15% DV), which Reduces SHBG → more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).. magnesium supports Testosterone and Cortisol production. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production.
Does Amaranth grain, cooked contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (especially in whole grains — bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin — reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates — the net effect is still positive.
