Health Condition Relevance
Anemia
iron, folate, copper. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.
Pcos
magnesium, zinc, fiber. Insulin resistance drives 70%+ of PCOS. These nutrients improve insulin sensitivity, reduce androgen.
Gut Health
fiber, zinc. Soluble fiber→SCFA (butyrate) fuels colonocytes. Polyphenols metabolize into anti-inflammatory compo.
Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (25% DV)
Cofactor for 5α-reductase (T→DHT). Required for androgen receptor function. Inhibits aromatase (T→estradiol).
🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (19% DV)
Reduces SHBG → more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).
🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (31% DV)
Cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA). Supports progesterone production in luteal phase.
🧬 Fiber → Estrogen, Insulin (44% DV)
Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
