Iron and Calcium Absorption in the Stomach

  • Gastric Acid Function:
  • The stomach produces hydrochloric acid (HCl) primarily in the fundus and body regions.
  • This acidic environment is critical for maintaining proper mineral solubility and ionization.
  • Iron Absorption:
  • Stomach acid converts ferric iron into the more absorbable ferrous state.
  • While initial preparation happens in the stomach, the actual absorption of iron occurs predominantly in the duodenum and upper jejunum.
  • Calcium Absorption:
  • Stomach acid helps ionize dietary calcium salts, making them soluble.
  • Similar to iron, the primary sites for calcium absorption are the duodenum and upper small intestine, relying heavily on the acidic chyme delivered from the stomach.
