Phytates

Description:

Phytates, also known as phytic acid or inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), are naturally occurring compounds found in plants. They mainly exist in the seeds and grains of plants, serving as a storage form of phosphorus. Phytates play a significant role in the biochemistry of plants, but they can also affect the absorption of certain nutrients in the human body.

Sample sentences:

  • The high phytate content in this cereal reduces the bioavailability of iron.
  • Consuming phytates alongside foods rich in calcium can hinder calcium absorption.
