Phytate-Rich Foods (Unsoaked Legumes, Bran)

Phytate-rich foods reduce mineral absorption, including calcium and zinc, needed for bone healing.

Bone repair requires mineral availability. Phytates can block absorption when not managed properly.

Phytates bind calcium, zinc, and magnesium in the digestive tract, reducing absorption. While whole grains and legumes are nutritious, improper preparation can limit mineral availability. Bone health experts recommend soaking, fermenting, or spacing calcium intake away from high-phytate foods. Managing phytates supports bone regeneration.
