What Nutritional Deficiencies Are Common, and How Do They Impact Toxin Susceptibility?
Individuals with malabsorption disorders are at risk for deficiencies in essential nutrients, such as vitamin D, calcium, iron, and vitamin B12. These deficiencies can compromise the body's ability to detoxify and eliminate toxins, increasing susceptibility to toxic effects. For example, iron deficiency can impair the function of cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are crucial for metabolizing various drugs and toxins.
