Factors like the type of food you eat and your health can affect how well your body absorbs important nutrients like vitamin A, iron, and zinc from biofortified crops. Processing can make some nutrients easier to absorb, but it can also cause losses. Eating biofortified crops can help reduce nutrient deficiencies, with different nutrients being absorbed at different rates. The type of crop and the presence of fat can affect how well your body absorbs certain nutrients. Inflammation and disease can also impact your nutrient levels. It's important to understand how different nutrients interact in your body, like how iron and vitamin A can work together or compete with each other. Future studies should consider individual differences in genetics and health when testing the effectiveness of biofortified crops.
