Answer

Hi I have a question about zinc. From sublements I know that on some of them the absorbtion is about 60%. So if I take a zinc capsule of 10mg, my body uses only 6mg. How is this on normal food? For example if I eat 100g of oatmeal which has about 4g zinc - does my body absorb the full 4g of zinc or also only about 60%?

Glad about every help!

Kind regards!! :)
