Monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose), amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals can be absorbed without first being digested in the human gastrointestinal tract. These nutrients are small enough to pass through the lining of the small intestine directly into the bloodstream. This process is facilitated by specific transport mechanisms for each type of nutrient. However, larger molecules like disaccharides and proteins require digestion by enzymes before they can be absorbed.
Why don't vitamins and minerals need to be digested before they are absorbed?
Vitamins are used in their original form by the cells. They do not require digestion. They are absorbed directly from the digestive tract, transported by the blood to the cells, and the cells absorb and use what they need.Because vitamins are absorbed by the body 'as is' - not broken down and digested.
