🧬 How Tofu- (koyadofu) Affects Your Health

💪

Testosterone 45% DV

Zinc (undefined% DV) supports testosterone production. It's a cofactor for 5α-reductase and inhibits aromatase.

🧘

Cortisol & Stress 14% DV

Magnesium (undefined% DV) calms the nervous system. It blocks NMDA receptors and reduces stress-induced cortisol spikes.

🧘

Cortisol 17% DV

Vitamin B6 (undefined% DV) helps produce serotonin and GABA — calming neurotransmitters that counter cortisol.

🦋

Thyroid 99% DV

Selenium (undefined% DV) converts T4 to active T3. Essential for thyroid function.

🏥

Hypothyroid

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

🏥

Anemia

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

🩸

Iron 54% DV

54% DV. Supports red blood cells and oxygen transport. Low iron = fatigue, brain fog.

⚡

Magnesium 14% DV

14% DV. Calms nerves, relaxes muscles, supports sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu) a good protein source?

Yes. Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu) provides 52.47g of protein per 100g — that's 105% of the daily value. As a plant protein, combine with complementary sources (grains, nuts) for complete amino acid profile.

How does Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu) support gut health?

Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu) contains 7.2g of fiber per 100g (26% DV). Fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate) that reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, and improve insulin sensitivity. The high fiber content also slows glucose absorption, reducing insulin spikes.

Does Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu) affect hormones?

Yes — Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu) is rich in selenium (99% DV), which Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production. zinc supports Testosterone and DHT production. fiber supports Estrogen and Insulin production.

Does Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu) contain anti-nutrients?

Phytates (reduce zinc, iron, calcium absorption 20-60%). Lectins (can irritate gut lining — destroyed by proper cooking). Soaking 12-24h reduces phytates 30-50%. Cooking destroys lectins and protease inhibitors. Fermentation (tempeh, miso) reduces all anti-nutrients. Sprouting increases nutrient bioavailability. Benefits (fiber, protein, minerals) far outweigh anti-nutrient concerns for most people.

How filling is Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu)?

Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu) has a satiety score of 8.4/10. The 52.47g protein stimulates PYY (satiety hormone). The 7.2g fiber adds bulk and slows digestion. This makes it effective for appetite control between meals.
