Zinc (undefined% DV) supports testosterone production. It's a cofactor for 5α-reductase and inhibits aromatase.
Cortisol & Stress 4% DV
Magnesium (undefined% DV) calms the nervous system. It blocks NMDA receptors and reduces stress-induced cortisol spikes.
Thyroid 13% 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 7% DV
7% DV. Supports red blood cells and oxygen transport. Low iron = fatigue, brain fog.
Magnesium 4% DV
4% DV. Calms nerves, relaxes muscles, supports sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ON THE BORDER, Mexican rice affect hormones?
Yes — ON THE BORDER, Mexican rice is rich in selenium (13% 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 ON THE BORDER, Mexican rice 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.
