🧬 How Pepeao Affects Your Health

💪

Testosterone 68% DV

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

🧘

Cortisol & Stress 35% DV

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

🧘

Cortisol 56% DV

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

🦋

Thyroid 82% 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 34% DV

34% DV. Supports red blood cells and oxygen transport. Low iron = fatigue, brain fog.

Magnesium 35% DV

35% DV. Calms nerves, relaxes muscles, supports sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pepeao, dried affect hormones?
Yes — Pepeao, dried is rich in selenium (82% 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. vitamin b6 supports Progesterone and Dopamine production.
Is Pepeao, dried good for blood pressure?
Yes. Pepeao, dried provides 708mg of potassium per 100g (15% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 10.1.
Does Pepeao, dried contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (reduce zinc, iron, calcium absorption 20-60%). Lectins (can irritate gut lining — destroyed by proper cooking). Soaking 12-24h reduces phytates 30-50%. Cooking destroys lectins and protease inhibitors. Fermentation (tempeh, miso) reduces all anti-nutrients. Sprouting increases nutrient bioavailability. Benefits (fiber, protein, minerals) far outweigh anti-nutrient concerns for most people.
