🏥

Hypothyroid

selenium, zinc, iron. Thyroid hormone synthesis requires iodine + tyrosine for T4 structure, selenium for T4→T3 conversion.

💪

Testosterone Low

zinc, magnesium, selenium. Zinc for 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibition. Mg reduces SHBG. D3 activates Leydig cells. Boron si.

🏥

Pcos

magnesium, zinc, fiber. Insulin resistance drives 70%+ of PCOS. These nutrients improve insulin sensitivity, reduce androgen.

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (19% DV)

Cofactor for 5α-reductase (T→DHT). Required for androgen receptor function. Inhibits aromatase (T→estradiol).

🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (23% DV)

Reduces SHBG → more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).

🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (39% DV)

Cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA). Supports progesterone production in luteal phase.

🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (69% DV)

Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Barley malt flour support gut health?

Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production. vitamin b6 supports Progesterone and Dopamine production. fiber supports Estrogen and Insulin production.

Is Barley malt flour good for blood pressure?

Yes. Barley malt flour provides 224mg of potassium per 100g (5% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 20.4.
