Health Condition Relevance
Athletic Performance
protein, iron, vitamin b12. Protein for MPS. Iron for O2 transport. B12 for RBC production. Nitrates→NO→vasodilation. Electrolyt.
Anemia
iron, vitamin b12, copper. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.
Hypothyroid
selenium, zinc, iron. Thyroid hormone synthesis requires iodine + tyrosine for T4 structure, selenium for T4→T3 conversion.
Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
Cofactor for 5α-reductase (T→DHT). Required for androgen receptor function. Inhibits aromatase (T→estradiol).
Cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA). Supports progesterone production in luteal phase.
Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.
Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
