Phosphorus is a mineral that helps your body in processing
vitamins and in the conversion of food into energy. A proper balance of calcium,
magnesium, and phosphorus is required everyday. These minerals must be present in the
body, in the correct balance for optimal health.
Phosphorus is required by the body for bone and teeth
formation.
Strangely, a diet consisting of junk food can have too much
phosphorus and this effects the body's processing of calcium. Most protein foods have
phosphorus, making it rare for a deficiency to develop.
It has
also been found that vitamin D boosts the effectiveness of phosphorus.
Magnesium helps in the absorption of phosphorus
