protein, vitamin b12. Protein for MPS. Iron for O2 transport. B12 for RBC production. Nitrates→NO→vasodilation. Electrolyt.

🩸

Anemia

vitamin b12. Iron-deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Vitamin C increases non-heme iron absorpt.

🏥

Hypothyroid

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

Hormonal & Metabolic Impact

🧬 Selenium → T3 (active thyroid), Testosterone (18% DV)

Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.

Anti-Nutrients & How to Reduce Them

⚠️ Lactose (65% of adults have reduced lactase — varies by ethnicity)

⚠️ Casein (A1 beta-casein may cause inflammation in sensitive individuals)

Mitigation: Lactose-free milk, yogurt (bacteria digest lactose), hard cheeses (minimal lactose). A2 milk (A2 beta-casein only) for casein sensitivity.

Fermented dairy (yogurt, kefir, cheese) is better tolerated. Most people can handle some dairy.
