Phosphorus is a key component of bones and teeth, working alongside calcium to maintain structural integrity and physiological balance. It supports energy production, pH regulation, and nutrient transport from the stomach. Elevated levels may occur with healing fractures, alkaline stomach, or certain kidney conditions. Low levels are seen with an overly acidic stomach, digestive issues, or use of aluminum-based antacids. A proper calcium-phosphorus balance is essential for optimal health. Important functions are seen in the
biochemistry related to phospholipids, nucleic acids, membrane and energy production in the form of ATP.
