Health Condition Relevance
Anemia
iron, folate, copper. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.
Pcos
magnesium, zinc, fiber. Insulin resistance drives 70%+ of PCOS. These nutrients improve insulin sensitivity, reduce androgen.
Testosterone Low
zinc, magnesium, selenium. Zinc for 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibition. Mg reduces SHBG. D3 activates Leydig cells. Boron si.
Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (10% DV)
Cofactor for 5α-reductase (T→DHT). Required for androgen receptor function. Inhibits aromatase (T→estradiol).
🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (15% DV)
Reduces SHBG → more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).
🧬 Fiber → Estrogen, Insulin (10% DV)
Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Quinoa, cooked affect hormones?
Yes — Quinoa, cooked is rich in magnesium (15% DV), which Reduces SHBG → more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).. magnesium supports Testosterone and Cortisol production. zinc supports Testosterone and DHT production. fiber supports Estrogen and Insulin production.
