PHOSPHORUS

Phosphorus is a mineral. It is needed for blood clotting, bone and tooth formation, cell growth, contraction of the heart muscle, normal heart rhythm and kidney function and energy storage. A proper balance of magnesium, calcium and phosphorus should be maintained at all times. If one of these minerals is present in either excess or insufficient amounts, your body will be adversely effected. Excessive amounts of phosphorus interfere with calcium uptake. A diet high in processed cooked foods and junk food is a common culprit. Optimum phosphate levels also promote healthy metabolism, the utilization of many B-complex vitamins, proper muscle and nerve function, and calcium balance. The best way to determine what your mineral levels are and if they are all working in synergy is through a mineral hair analysis.
