What Is Reciprocal Inhibition?

Inhibition effect refers to the negative effect of one nutrient on another nutrient. The difference between the inhibitory effect and the antagonistic effect is that the inhibitory effect emphasizes one-way inhibition (and possibly two-way mutual inhibition), while the antagonistic effect must be two-way mutual inhibition. For example, there are two types of nutrients A and B. A has an inhibitory effect on B. It can be called an inhibitory effect regardless of whether B has an inhibitory effect on A. Antagonism generally means that not only A can inhibit B, but B can also inhibit A. In this way, the antagonism is definitely an inhibitory effect, but the inhibitory effect is not necessarily an antagonism. ^[1]
