magnesium, vitamin b6. Tryptophan→serotonin→melatonin. Magnesium calms NMDA receptors. B6 is cofactor for serotonin synthes.

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (20% DV)

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

🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (30% DV)

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

🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (37% DV)

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

🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (28% DV)

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