🧬 How Pasta, dry Affects Your Health

💪

Testosterone 13% DV

Zinc (undefined% DV) supports testosterone production. It's a cofactor for 5α-reductase and inhibits aromatase.

🧘

Cortisol & Stress 13% DV

Magnesium (undefined% DV) calms the nervous system. It blocks NMDA receptors and reduces stress-induced cortisol spikes.

🧘

Cortisol 8% DV

Vitamin B6 (undefined% DV) helps produce serotonin and GABA — calming neurotransmitters that counter cortisol.

🦋

Thyroid 115% DV

Selenium (undefined% DV) converts T4 to active T3. Essential for thyroid function.

🏥

Testosterone Low

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

🏥

Hypothyroid

selenium + zinc. 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 13% DV

13% DV. Calms nerves, relaxes muscles, supports sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Pasta, dry, unenriched support gut health?

Pasta, dry, unenriched contains 3.2g of fiber per 100g (11% DV). Fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate) that reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, and improve insulin sensitivity.

Does Pasta, dry, unenriched affect hormones?

Yes — Pasta, dry, unenriched is rich in selenium (115% DV), which Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production. zinc supports Testosterone and DHT production. magnesium supports Testosterone and Cortisol production.

Is Pasta, dry, unenriched good for blood pressure?

Yes. Pasta, dry, unenriched provides 223mg of potassium per 100g (5% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 37.2.

Does Pasta, dry, unenriched 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.
