vitamin c, fiber. Omega-3 EPA/DHA → resolvins (pro-resolving mediators). Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Fiber .

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (16% DV)

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

🧬 Magnesium → Testosterone, Cortisol (38% DV)

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

🧬 Vitamin B6 → Progesterone, Dopamine (20% DV)

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

🧬 Fiber → Estrogen, Insulin (50% DV)

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