magnesium, fiber. Insulin resistance drives 70%+ of PCOS. These nutrients improve insulin sensitivity, reduce androgen.
Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (12% DV)
Cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA). Supports progesterone production in luteal phase.
🧬 Fiber → Estrogen, Insulin (11% DV)
Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
🧬 Sugar → Insulin, Cortisol (8% DV)
Rapid blood sugar spikes → insulin surges → cellular insulin resistance over time. High sugar intake correlates with elevated cortisol.
