Framework for Developing Nutrient Bioavailability Algorithms

Framework for Developing Nutrient Bioavailability Algorithms

This project will develop a systematic approach to address applications toward the translation of globally harmonized nutrients while considering factors in the diet. The framework will use the calcium algorithm as a guide to establish a comprehensive, step-by-step approach that ensures consistency in the construction of nutrient bioavailability algorithms.
