Demineralization (physiology)

Demineralization is the opposite process of mineralization; it is a process of reduction in the mineral content in tissue or an organism.

Demineralization can lead to serious diseases such as osteoporosis, rickets, or tooth decay.

[1] Usually, treatment involves administration of appropriate dietary supplements to help restore the remineralization of human tissues and their physiological state.
