Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (39% DV)
Reduces SHBG → more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).
🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (14% DV)
Cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA). Supports progesterone production in luteal phase.
🧬 Fiber → Estrogen, Insulin (19% DV)
Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
