Several factors can disturb proper absorption, leading to weakness or disease. Problems may come from the intestine, pancreas, liver, or even the food itself.

Factors Affecting Absorption

• Intestinal diseases (like diarrhea, celiac disease).
• Lack of digestive enzymes (e.g., in pancreatic problems).
• Liver disorders (affecting bile production and fat absorption).
• Poor diet quality (too much junk, lack of fiber).
• Infections, alcohol, or certain medicines.
