Salivary proline-rich protein may reduce tannin-iron chelation: a systematic narrative review

Abstract Background Tannins are often cited for antinutritional effects, including chelation of non-heme iron. Despite this, studies exploring non-heme iron bioavailability inhibition with long-term consumption have reported mixed results. Salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs) may mediate tannin-ant...
