Bioavailable Minerals

Meaning

Bioavailable Minerals refer to dietary inorganic nutrients that are absorbed, utilized, and retained by the human body with high efficiency to support optimal physiological function. In endocrinology, these micronutrients are essential cofactors for numerous enzyme systems involved in hormone synthesis, receptor function, and metabolic pathways. A mineral’s bioavailability is a measure of its clinical utility, reflecting how much of the ingested dose actually reaches systemic circulation and target tissues. Adequate bioavailability is paramount for maintaining the delicate balance of the endocrine system.
