Further information
Potential for Accumulation: Aluminium is absorbed only to a limited degree from either the gastrointestinal tract or the lungs, and is rapidly excreted in the urine. A certain amount of tissue uptake does occur and animal experiments have shown that it can accumulate in bone. The degree of absorption of aluminium following ingestion has been shown to depend on the chemical form of the metal as well as the presence of other dietary constituents such as citrate, ascorbate and lactate. Water solubility has not been found to be a good indicator of the degree of aluminium absorption for different aluminium compounds.
