Health Condition Relevance
Anemia
vitamin c, folate, copper. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.
Inflammation
vitamin c, fiber. Omega-3 EPA/DHA → resolvins (pro-resolving mediators). Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Fiber .
Skin Health
vitamin c, vitamin a. Vitamin C is required for collagen cross-linking. Zinc reduces inflammation and sebum. Vitamin A reg.
Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
Reduces SHBG → more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).
Cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA). Supports progesterone production in luteal phase.
Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
Rapid blood sugar spikes → insulin surges → cellular insulin resistance over time. High sugar intake correlates with elevated cortisol.
