Found this about hepcidin
What is the relationship between hepcidin and iron disorders?
Hepcidin is elevated during inflammation and/or infection. This can cause iron dysregulation with hypoferremia and anemia related to inflammatory disease [7]. Hypoferremia can also represent a strategic host defense to limit iron availability to microorganisms.
What stimulates hepcidin?
The iron availability is controlled by the liver peptide hormone hepcidin. The body iron increase causes the production of hepcidin, which is released in the circulation and acts on its receptor ferroportin, a transmembrane iron exporter protein highly expressed on enterocyte, macrophages, and hepatocytes.Oct 9, 2019
Does vitamin C lower hepcidin?
Vitamin C directly inhibits hepcidin expression within HepG2 cells. Moreover, by enhancing EPOR production, vitamin C may correct the downregulating EPOR from EPO, which has additional effect with EPO in treating anemia.
I was taking EmergenC packet with liquid iron
Liquid iron every other day, but your doctor will know how much and how often. If he does not know, get another doctor! Hepcidin? Do you mean Hematocrit.Once your not anemic and your blood levels are normal the fatigue and heart racing will subside. Because you are tired your heart beats faster to get blood/ O2 to your organs.
