Phosphorus
Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body and 85% of it is found in the bones. The rest of the body's phosphorus is found in the blood, the fluid around and in cells, and in various organs like the heart, kidneys, brain, and muscles, where it is involved in many critical functions. Its main purpose is for building strong bones and teeth, but practically every cell in the body uses this mineral.
Next to calcium, phosphorus is the body's 2nd most abundant mineral, but it should be consumed in greater quantity. It functions mostly with calcium, which it needs for proper utilization; a healthy balance of calcium-phosphorus is 2:1. Phosphorus is found in every cell of the body, but 80% of it is present in the bones and teeth. It may be beneficial in the treatment of fractures, brittle bones, rickets, and teeth and gum disorders.
