Screening of probiotics for promoting mineral absorption based on in vitro fermentation and cell models
Comprehensive analysis indicated that strain <i>B. lactis</i> Ca360 demonstrated the most prominent effect in promoting calcium, iron, and zinc absorption, likely through mechanisms involving acid production-induced pH reduction and phytate hydrolysis facilitation. This study provides systematic verification of the integrated mechanisms by which probiotics promote mineral absorption and offers both theoretical support and strain resources for the development of targeted probiotics aimed at improving mineral bioavailability.
