🧘

Cortisol 14% DV

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

🦋

Thyroid 96% DV

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

🏥

Testosterone Low

zinc + magnesium. Zinc for 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibition. Mg reduces SHBG. D3 activates Leydig cells. Boron si.

🏥

Hypothyroid

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

🩸

Iron 16% DV

16% DV. Supports red blood cells and oxygen transport. Low iron = fatigue, brain fog.

⚡

Magnesium 24% DV

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted a good protein source?
Yes. Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted provides 16.27g of protein per 100g — that's 33% of the daily value. As a plant protein, combine with complementary sources (grains, nuts) for complete amino acid profile.
How does Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted support gut health?
Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted contains 7.5g of fiber per 100g (27% 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 Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted affect hormones?
Yes — Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted is rich in selenium (96% DV), which Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production. fiber supports Estrogen and Insulin production. magnesium supports Testosterone and Cortisol production.
Is Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted good for blood pressure?
Yes. Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted provides 326mg of potassium per 100g (7% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 0.6.
Does Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted 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 Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted?
Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted has a satiety score of 3.4/10. The 16.27g protein stimulates PYY (satiety hormone). The 7.5g fiber adds bulk and slows digestion. This makes it effective for appetite control between meals.
