The digestion of minerals begins in the stomach and continues in the intestines, where minerals are absorbed into the bloodstream. Unlike carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, minerals are not broken down but are absorbed in their ionic forms. The digestion of oils, or fats, begins in the mouth with the action of saliva, but it primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine, where bile acids emulsify fats for better absorption.
