Hypothyroid

selenium, zinc, iron. Thyroid hormone synthesis requires iodine + tyrosine for T4 structure, selenium for T4→T3 conversion.

Testosterone Low

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

protein, iron. Protein for MPS. Iron for O2 transport. B12 for RBC production. Nitrates→NO→vasodilation. Electrolyt.

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (18% DV)

Cofactor for 5α-reductase (T→DHT). Required for androgen receptor function. Inhibits aromatase (T→estradiol).

🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (26% DV)

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

🧬 Vitamin D → Testosterone, Estrogen (12% DV)

Leydig cells have VDR (vitamin D receptor). Vitamin D increases LH sensitivity → more T production. Also modulates aromatase.

🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (26% DV)

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