[Intestinal calcium absorption].
Calcium which is required by our body must be absorbed from the diet through the intestine. Food and body conditions influence on calcium absorption from the intestine. Even when the same diet is eaten, the calcium absorption rate is different in each subject. It is assumed that calcium absorption is affected by many factors including acidity in the stomach, transit time of the intestine, intestinal flora, vitamin D, PTH and the other hormones.
