Key differences in

micronutrient availability

Let's get started

MICRONUTRIENT AVAILABILITY

There are 4 Factors

MINERAL ABSORPTION
BIOAVAILABILITY
VITAMIN FORMS
NUTRIENT DENTISITY

Hover over each one for their definitions!

MICRONUTRIENT AVAILABILITY

BIOAVAILABILITY

While lower for some nutrients due to anti-nutrients (phytates, oxalates, tannins), can be higher in some vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients

Generally higher, easier to absorb for nutrients it does contain

MICRONUTRIENT AVAILABILITY

Nutrient Density

Higher in fiber, phytonutrients, and antioxidants.

High in fat-soluble vitamins, heme iron, and B12

MICRONUTRIENT AVAILABILITY

Vitamin Forms

Ready-to-use active forms of many vitamins (e.g., retinol for Vitamin A).

Some vitamins (e.g., beta-carotene & Vitamin A) need conversion.

MICRONUTRIENT AVAILABILITY

Mineral Absorption

Some minerals (iron, zinc, calcium) are harder to absorb due to inhibitors.

More bioavailable due to natural chelation (e.g., heme iron).
