Health | Bioavailability (absorption) of calcium from food depends on the food's total calcium content and the presence of components that enhance or inhibit absorption. (references) | |
Ingesting calcium supplements between meals supports calcium bioavailability, since food may contain certain compounds that reduce calcium absorption (e.g., oxalates). (references) | ||
Recommended calcium intake levels are based on the total calcium content of the food. To maximize calcium absorption, food selection decisions should include information on their bioavailability. (references) | ||
