Vitamin B6 (undefined% DV) helps produce serotonin and GABA — calming neurotransmitters that counter cortisol.

🦋

Thyroid 27% DV

Selenium (undefined% DV) converts T4 to active T3. Essential for thyroid function.

🏥

Testosterone Low

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

🏥

Hypothyroid

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

🩸

Iron 4% DV

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Cheese, feta affect hormones?
Yes — Cheese, feta is rich in selenium (27% DV), which Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production. zinc supports Testosterone and DHT production. vitamin b6 supports Progesterone and Dopamine production.
Does Cheese, feta contain anti-nutrients?
Lactose (65% of adults have reduced lactase — varies by ethnicity). Casein (A1 beta-casein may cause inflammation in sensitive individuals). Lactose-free milk, yogurt (bacteria digest lactose), hard cheeses (minimal lactose). A2 milk (A2 beta-casein only) for casein sensitivity. Fermented dairy (yogurt, kefir, cheese) is better tolerated. Most people can handle some dairy.
