Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (24% DV)
Cofactor for 5α-reductase (T→DHT). Required for androgen receptor function. Inhibits aromatase (T→estradiol).
🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (28% DV)
Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.
🧬 Sugar → Insulin, Cortisol (15% DV)
Rapid blood sugar spikes → insulin surges → cellular insulin resistance over time. High sugar intake correlates with elevated cortisol.
