Discussion on the mechanism of the calcium absorption in the human body

摘要

The present article discusses a new mechanism of calcium absorption in the human body. The mechanism is revealed as follows. First, after food is digested in the stom - ach, calcium ions (Ca~2+) are released. The small intestine secretes amino acid or short peptide chain with small mo - lecular weight automatically, which are called chelating agent; when the calcium ions from the stomach get to the small intestine, the reaction of the chelating agent with the calcium ions occurs, producing the neutral amino acid cal - cium chelate.
