Thyroid 17% DV
Selenium (undefined% DV) converts T4 to active T3. Essential for thyroid function.
Anemia
iron + folate. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.
Hypothyroid
selenium + iron. Thyroid hormone synthesis requires iodine + tyrosine for T4 structure, selenium for T4→T3 conversion.
Iron 5% DV
5% DV. Supports red blood cells and oxygen transport. Low iron = fatigue, brain fog.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Macaroni and Cheese, canned entree affect hormones?
Yes — Macaroni and Cheese, canned entree is rich in selenium (17% DV), which Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production.
Does Macaroni and Cheese, canned entree contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (especially in whole grains — bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin — reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates — the net effect is still positive.
