Phosphorous is one of the most common substances in our environment, naturally occurring in our food, our water, and our bodies.                   

Phosphorous is a nutrient vital to human, animal, and plant life. In our body, phosphorus is present in genes, teeth, and bones – even muscles work because of phosphorus. It makes up about 0.65-1.1% of the adult body-weight from which 85% is in bone.

Phosphorus plays an essential role in:

·         Building bone mass and preventing osteoporosis

·         As phospholipids in the red blood:

             -  Buffering of acid or alkali excesses, maintaining normal PH

             -  Temporary storage and transfer of energy derived from metabolic

                 fuels.

             -  Activation of many catalytic proteins.

Optimal Phosphorous intake

National Academy of Science recommends a range of 1200 mg per day
