Phosphorus facts
Where does phosphorus come from?
Phosphorus comes from protein rich foods (meat, poultry, fish, and milk), cereals, and is often added to soft drinks and packaged foods.
Why do we need phosphorus?
Phosphorus is an essential mineral which is an important component of cell membranes. Phosphorus is often used to enhance athletic performance.
What happens if we have a phosphorus deficiency?
A phosphorus deficiency is very rare in humans because it is abundant and widely added to foods. However, those on a weight loss diet, therefore consuming less food, may be somewhat at risk for a deficiency. Phosphorus deficience symptoms include weakness, malaise, stiff joints or bone pain, glucose intolerance, irregular heart beat and difficulty breathing, or bone loss.
