N/A
Molecular classification
Inorganic ions, Minerals, Electrolytes
01

Overview

Divalent cations, including calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and copper, play crucial roles in intestinal physiology. They are essential for cellular metabolism, cell growth, host-pathogen interactions, and nutrient absorption. Their homeostasis is critical for maintaining intestinal function and overall health. They serve as cofactors for numerous metalloproteins and metalloenzymes. Dietary factors and certain drugs can significantly affect their bioavailability and absorption.
