NJS Bour, BA Soullier, MB Zemel - Nutrition Research, 1984 - Elsevier
A 75-day human metabolic study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 1 g supplements
of phosphorus, either as orthophosphate or hexametaphosphate, alone and in combination
with 810 mg calcium on zinc, iron and copper bioavailability in ten young men. An additional
objective was to determine the effects of increasing dietary calcium on polyphosphate
hydrolysis. All subjects consumed each of the five diets (basal, low calcium-high
orthophosphate, low calcium-high polyphosphate, high calcium-high orthophosphate and …
