Bioavailability = availability in food + its tendency to be absorbed and available for use within the body. Presence of one mineral can interfere w absorption of another one. Plants have components that might bind with minerals, making it unavailable to be absorbed. Minerals are found in both plants and animals. Mineral content of plants depends on the soil. Mineral content of animals depends on what they eat. Animal products (esp larger animals) are better source of minerals than plant products.
