Phosphorus 

Did you know that phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in our body, only behind calcium? It is up to 1% of our total body weight! Something that is not surprising if we consider that phosphorus is present in all cells of the body, where it performs various functions, although most of it accumulates in teeth and bones.

Properties of phosphorus

Surely, one of the best known phosphorus properties is its contribution to the proper formation and maintenance of bones and teeth. However, this mineral is present in many other processes in our body.

The benefits of taking phosphorous range from improving memory, concentration and mood, to reducing hormonal discomfort in periods such as menopause and helping the correct assimilation of fats and carbohydrates that we consume. So phosphorus cannot be missing from your diet!

How to take phosphorus

The list of foods that contain phosphorus in more significant amounts is led by dairy products, followed by whole grains, meat and fish, legumes, as well as some nuts such as sunflower seeds or walnuts.

However, as with calcium, in childhood and especially at maturity, it is possible that the levels of this mineral that we obtain with the diet are not sufficient. In that case, it may be necessary to reinforce your intake with phosphorus supplements that are available in several formats: from tablets and capsules, to ampoules and vials of liquid phosphorus.
