Kids start liver iron loading at about 12 months. The liver defends against further iron loading by secreting hepcidin. Hepcidin down regulates stomach acid production to reduce iron loading. Incomplete digestion and absorption of unnaturally large proteins is the result. The kid’s immune system stays on high alert to attack the undigested proteins. Liver iron loading interferes with the hydroxylation of d3 and dysregulates the entire immune mechanism.
