🧬 How Vital wheat gluten Affects Your Health
Testosterone 8% DV
Zinc (undefined% DV) supports testosterone production. It's a cofactor for 5α-reductase and inhibits aromatase.
Cortisol & Stress 6% DV
Magnesium (undefined% DV) calms the nervous system. It blocks NMDA receptors and reduces stress-induced cortisol spikes.
Thyroid 72% 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.
Athletic Performance
protein + iron. Protein for MPS. Iron for O2 transport. B12 for RBC production. Nitrates→NO→vasodilation. Electrolyt.
Iron 29% DV
29% DV. Supports red blood cells and oxygen transport. Low iron = fatigue, brain fog.
Magnesium 6% DV
6% DV. Calms nerves, relaxes muscles, supports sleep.
Calcium 11% DV
11% DV. Bone density, muscle contraction, nerve signaling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vital wheat gluten a good protein source?
Yes. Vital wheat gluten provides 75.16g of protein per 100g — that's 150% of the daily value. As a plant protein, combine with complementary sources (grains, nuts) for complete amino acid profile.
Does Vital wheat gluten affect hormones?
Yes — Vital wheat gluten is rich in selenium (72% DV), which Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production.
Does Vital wheat gluten contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (especially in whole grains — bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin — reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates — the net effect is still positive.
How filling is Vital wheat gluten?
Vital wheat gluten has a satiety score of 10.0/10. The 75.16g protein stimulates PYY (satiety hormone). This makes it effective for appetite control between meals.
