Datos habituales

Datos habituales: Phosphorus is a mineral that is a major building block of bones and teeth and a part of the body's cell membranes and energy-carrying molecules; dairy, meat, fish, eggs, legumes, nuts, and seeds are common sources.
Ingesta baja: Low phosphorus intake is uncommon because it is so widespread in foods, and a shortfall is not a common topic on a typical diet.
Ingesta más alta: Very high phosphorus, often from additives in processed foods and colas, is commonly discussed in relation to mineral balance, mainly among people with reduced kidney function; the commonly cited upper intake level for adults up to age 70 is 4,000 mg a day.
