Also known as: Phosphate, Dicalcium Phosphate
Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body, essential for bone formation, energy metabolism via ATP, and DNA/RNA synthesis. Most adults obtain adequate phosphorus from diet, making supplementation rarely necessary.
Phosphorus is a macromineral present in every cell of the body, with approximately 85% stored in bones and teeth as hydroxyapatite alongside calcium. It plays indispensable roles in energy transfer as a component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), in cell membrane structure as phospholipids, and in genetic material as the backbone of DNA and RNA. The RDA for adults is 700 mg/day, easily met through dairy, meat, legumes, and grains. True phosphorus deficiency (hypophosphatemia) is rare in healthy individuals but can occur in malnourished patients, chronic alcohol users, or those taking phosphate-binding antacids. Supplementation is primarily indicated for clinical hypophosphatemia under medical supervision.
Phosphorus combines with calcium to form hydroxyapatite, the primary mineral complex that gives bones and teeth their structural strength and rigidity.
As a component of ATP, phosphorus is directly involved in every energy-requiring process in the body, from muscle contraction to nerve signaling.
