Yes โ€” Cowpeas, young pods with seeds, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt is rich in magnesium (10% DV), which Reduces SHBG โ†’ more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).. magnesium supports Testosterone and Cortisol production.
Does Cowpeas, young pods with seeds, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (reduce zinc, iron, calcium absorption 20-60%). Lectins (can irritate gut lining โ€” destroyed by proper cooking). Soaking 12-24h reduces phytates 30-50%. Cooking destroys lectins and protease inhibitors. Fermentation (tempeh, miso) reduces all anti-nutrients. Sprouting increases nutrient bioavailability. Benefits (fiber, protein, minerals) far outweigh anti-nutrient concerns for most people.
