🩸

Anemia

iron, vitamin c, folate. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.

🔥

Inflammation

vitamin c, vitamin e, fiber. Omega-3 EPA/DHA → resolvins (pro-resolving mediators). Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Fiber .

🏥

Pcos

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

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (10% DV)

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

🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (20% DV)

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

🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (27% DV)

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

🧬 Fiber → Estrogen, Insulin (30% DV)

Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
