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.

🏥

Insomnia

magnesium, vitamin b6. Tryptophan→serotonin→melatonin. Magnesium calms NMDA receptors. B6 is cofactor for serotonin synthes.

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (22% DV)

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

🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (143% DV)

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

🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (152% DV)

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

🧬 Fiber → Estrogen, Insulin (106% DV)

Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
