Phytic acid (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>18</sub>O<sub>24</sub>P<sub>6</sub>) is a molecul wich inhibit the absorption of differents cations like iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium and cobalt. It make insoluble salts around this elements, say phytate. This complexes are not soluble, so it is harmful to digestion and absorption of the minerals wich are essential to growth. They are difficult to find in our alimentation, and the absence of this minerals may be the cause of the food deficiency.</p> | Phytic acid (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>18</sub>O<sub>24</sub>P<sub>6</sub>) is a molecul wich inhibit the absorption of differents cations like iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium and cobalt.
