if you maintaina nose-to-tail animal-based diet, you’ll get all the nutrients your body needs in the most bioavailable form possible. More importantly, you won’t have to worry about any ofthe toxins commonly found in plants.
Spleen is perhaps best known for being an incredibly rich source of bioavailable iron. Why is bioavailability so important with iron in particular? The bioavailability of the iron in plant foods (nonheme iron) is much lower than in animal foods (heme iron). Plant-based forms of iron are als...
Wouldn’t sprouting or germinating brown rice also reduce phytic acid and make the nutrients more bioavailable? Upon further research, it seems less effective than fermenting at removing phytic acid, but can still remove up to 60% phytates and increases the bioavailability of some nutrients (...
augmenting erythropoiesis and releasing stored iron from the liver [34]. Our analysis also suggested a positive association between plasma zinc status at 24 months and plasma ferritin status at 60 months. If zinc is increasing erythropoiesis, then more iron will be taken out of ferritin to “keep...
