Liver + Calcium = Reduced heme-iron absorption
Liver + Calcium = Reduced heme-iron absorption
Calcium: effect of different amounts on nonheme- and heme-iron absorption in humans. - PubMed - NCBICalcium also had a direct dose-related inhibiting effect on iron absorption, noted by adding calcium to the rolls after they had been baked instead of to the dough. Iron absorption was reduced by 50-60% at doses of 300-600 mg Ca. Giving 165 mg Ca as milk, cheese, or calcium chloride reduced absorption by 50-60%. The same amount of calcium also significantly reduced heme-iron absorption, suggesting that the effect of calcium is related to the mucosal transfer of iron.
