In patients with thalassemia, the high levels of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) and erythroferrin can also inhibit the production of hepcidin (55, 56)

Theyre crucial for cognitive function, fatigue prevention, and metabolism, and are especially beneficial for vegetarians, older adults, and those with dietary deficiencies
