Selenium Absorption and Stomach Acid

  • Stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) plays a vital role in the initial digestion and ionization of minerals.
  • When stomach acid is low (hypochlorhydria), the breakdown of food and the conversion of dietary minerals into absorbable forms are significantly impaired.
  • While selenium absorption takes place primarily in the small intestine, an acidic gastric environment is necessary to release minerals from food matrices and prepare them for optimal uptake further down the digestive tract.
  • Therefore, low stomach acid can indirectly reduce intestinal selenium absorption by compromising overall mineral bioavailability and altering the digestive efficiency required for optimal nutrient assimilation.
