Explained in plain English

How does it affect nutrients?

The story explains that omeprazole can change how your body absorbs vital nutrients. By reducing stomach acid, it makes it harder for your body to take in iron and can cause calcium to leach away. This is why long-term use might lead to problems like anaemia (low iron) and weaker bones (osteoporosis).
