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.
