AbsorptionNutrients & nutrition · Metabolism & energy
Uptake of a substance into the body, usually from the gut into the bloodstream.
What this means for you
How well your body absorbs vitamins, minerals or fats depends on your gut, other substances in your meal and, in part, your genes. A nutrient only counts once it reaches your blood.
