PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a promoter of mineral absorption capable of promoting the intraintestinal absorption of calcium and iron contents and preventing hyperlipemia and hypercholesterolemia, and useful for a food material, etc., by including a vegetative peptide having a prescribed molecular weight and containing a prescribed amount of acidic amino acid. SOLUTION: This promoter of mineral absorption comprises (A) a vegetative peptide having 200-6000 dalton molecular weight, containing >=20mol% acidic amino acid, and obtained by hydrating a vegetative protein selected from corn gluten, wheat gluten and corn casein by an enzyme such as papain and bromelain under a condition of 30-80 deg.C and pH 40-8.0 for 20-30hr, and further preferably (B) one or more kinds of a citric acid (salt), a sodium salt, a potassium salt and a calcium salt. |
