Health Condition Relevance
Insomnia
magnesium, vitamin b6. Tryptophan→serotonin→melatonin. Magnesium calms NMDA receptors. B6 is cofactor for serotonin synthes.
Anemia
vitamin c, folate, copper. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.
Inflammation
vitamin c, fiber. Omega-3 EPA/DHA → resolvins (pro-resolving mediators). Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Fiber .
Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
Cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA). Supports progesterone production in luteal phase.
Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
Rapid blood sugar spikes → insulin surges → cellular insulin resistance over time. High sugar intake correlates with elevated cortisol.
