Polyphenols & Antinutrients

Antinutrients (e.g. phytic acid, oxalates, tannins) are plant compounds that can reduce absorption of some minerals (iron, zinc, calcium). They are often beneficial in moderation (e.g. polyphenols are antioxidants). Soaking, fermenting, or pairing with vitamin C can improve mineral absorption.

Beneficial compounds that may reduce absorption of some minerals (iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium). Consider pairing with vitamin C or consuming separately from mineral-rich meals to improve absorption.
