Health Condition Relevance
Hypothyroid
selenium, zinc, iron. Thyroid hormone synthesis requires iodine + tyrosine for T4 structure, selenium for T4→T3 conversion.
Athletic Performance
protein, iron. Protein for MPS. Iron for O2 transport. B12 for RBC production. Nitrates→NO→vasodilation. Electrolyt.
Testosterone Low
zinc, magnesium, selenium. Zinc for 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibition. Mg reduces SHBG. D3 activates Leydig cells. Boron si.
Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
🧬 Zinc → Testosterone, DHT (8% DV)
Cofactor for 5α-reductase (T→DHT). Required for androgen receptor function. Inhibits aromatase (T→estradiol).
🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (72% DV)
Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.
