Gut microbiome micronutrient interaction The key to controlling the bioavailability of minerals and vitamins

[Posterboy]

To All,

I came across this new research recently and I thought it was worth sharing entitled "Gut microbiome–micronutrient interaction: The key to controlling the bioavailability of minerals and vitamins"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9311823/

I have only had a chance to scan it but I thought it would be a good resource because this question comes up a lot and it is an interest to several forum participants.

I am thinking of @Blue-Skybut others can join into the fun as well!  Blue Sky read it in its entirety and summarize the "Highlights" if you have the time......I have only had time to briefly scan it myself (as I mentioned) but I thought you might enjoy reading it in its entirety.....if you have the time and interest.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Posterboy,

Good article! It illustrates the many symptoms that can be caused by celiac disease due to malabsorption, which makes it so hard to diagnose.

It is interesting research.  I read through most of it and other people can read it too if they want the highlights.

Some comments I have are: The link talks about malabsorption and the bioavailability of vitamins and minerals  however there can be benefits to taking zinc (for example) to reduce leaky gut or to reduce the symptoms of Crohn's disease rather than to treat a deficiency. Even if someone doesn't have a deficiency in their blood it can still have benefits. 

I have a blog post of that and other topics for other people reading this thread.

This is really interesting. Which is the most effective form of Zinc for healing leaky gut in Coeliacs? Or is it just a matter of getting a good bioavailable form as in Zinc Picolinate? I've read that many functional practitioners recommend Zinc Carnosine for healing the damage caused by acid reflux in those who suffer from it.
