🏥

Insomnia

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

💪

Testosterone Low

magnesium, selenium. Zinc for 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibition. Mg reduces SHBG. D3 activates Leydig cells. Boron si.

🩸

Anemia

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

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (58% DV)

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

🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (39% DV)

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

🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (32% DV)

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

🧬 Sugar → Insulin, Cortisol (149% DV)

Rapid blood sugar spikes → insulin surges → cellular insulin resistance over time. High sugar intake correlates with elevated cortisol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Molasses affect hormones?
Yes — Molasses is rich in sugar (149% DV), which Rapid blood sugar spikes → insulin surges → cellular insulin resistance over time. High sugar intake correlates with elevated cortisol.. sugar supports Insulin and Cortisol production. magnesium supports Testosterone and Cortisol production. vitamin b6 supports Progesterone and Dopamine production.
Is Molasses good for blood pressure?
Yes. Molasses provides 1464mg of potassium per 100g (31% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 39.6.
