This article reviews physicochemical aspects of calcium absorption from foods. Notable
differences are observed between different food products in relation to calcium absorption …

Both transcellular, vitamin-D dependent and the quantitatively more important paracellular,
nonsaturable calcium absorption depend on the presence of free calcium ions or on the …

Calcium can be obtained from foods naturally rich in calcium such as dairy foods, from
calcium-fortified foods and beverages, from supplements or from a combination of these …

This update focuses on the bioavailability of dietary calcium for humans. Fundamentals of
calcium metabolism, intestinal absorption, urinary excretion and balance are recalled …

Calcium solubility, dialysability, and transport and uptake (retention+ transport) by Caco-2
cells as indicators of calcium bioavailability have been estimated in the in vitro …

Absorption of calcium from high calcium vegetables endogenously labeled with 45Ca was
studied in premenopausal women using a randomized cross over design. Chinese (C.) …

Plant foods high in calcium were collected from representative markets in Bangkok. The
purpose of this research was to study the bioavailability of calcium in plant sources and the …

Fractional calcium absorption from wheat products and the influence of co-ingested wheat
products on calcium absorption from milk were measured in a series of randomized …

An increased prevalence of osteoporosis has been observed in lactase-deficient subjects.
This association has been attributed to an avoidance of calcium-containing dairy products …

Publisher Summary Calcium nutritional status among some groups in the United States is
suboptimal when judged by calcium intakes and the high prevalence of osteoporosis …
