Grass-Fed Liver
Vitamin A required for progesterone production and thyroid hormone sensitivity. B vitamins cofactors in hormone synthesis. Iron prevents anemia (common cause of hormone imbalance).
Flaxseed (Hormones)
Lignans are phytoestrogens that modulate estrogen receptors (adapt to body's needs). Gut bacteria convert SDG to enterolactone (balances hormones). Binds excess estrogen in gut.
Cruciferous Vegetables (Hormones)
DIM promotes beneficial estrogen metabolism (2-hydroxyestrone over 16-hydroxyestrone). I3C modulates estrogen receptors. Supports phase II liver detoxification of excess estrogen.
