🏥

Hypothyroid

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

💪

Testosterone Low

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

🩸

Anemia

iron, folate, copper. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (66% DV)

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

🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (86% DV)

Reduces SHBG → more free T. Lowers cortisol by suppressing ACTH. Required for vitamin D activation (which also supports T).

🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (48% DV)

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

🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (65% DV)

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