Phosphorus Dietary Supplement

Phosphorus is synonymous with intelligence. This element is found in the nucleus

of each cell in the human body, is found in body fluids and in solid tissue. It
is the nutrient that comprises the outer bone and combines with several other
elements such as iron, potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium.

Phosphorus functions in the body: Necessary for the reproductive system,

Essential for bone and brain, Vital for muscle tissue, Necessary for growth,
Stimulates sexual function, Present in the white blood cells, Essential nerve
nutrient.

Phosphorus is synonymous with intelligence. Phosphorus is found in the nucleus of

each cell in the human body, is found in body fluids and in solid tissue. A person
weighing about 150 pounds contains approximately two pounds of phosphorus in their
body. Phosphorus is the nutrient that comprises the outer bone and combines with
several other elements such as iron, potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium.
These phosphates are essential to animal and plant life. "Phosphorus is necessary
in the synthesis of RNA and DNA and it is important for bone and teeth
construction." 28

Phosphorus improves bone density and nutrition of nervous system tissue. When
supplied in proper quantity phosphorus enhances the reproductive organs, autonomic
nervous system, ganglia, brain and other nerve networks. In conjunction with
other elements it can strengthen tissue integrity, function and metabolism. The
proper amounts of phosphorus ensure a balance of the acid/alkaline ration in the
digestive juices, blood and the distribution of liquid throughout the tissues.
"Plasma phosphorus functions as a buffer to maintain the delicate acid-base
balance in the body." 29 It increases the number of red blood corpuscles and
improves tissue nutrition.

Studies have shown that when there is strenuous metal activity there is a greater
presence of phosphorus in the urine. "The higher intellectual capacity depends on
phosphorus - psychic perceptions, idealistic tendencies, humanitarianism,
philanthropy, the subjective functions of the brain, physical brain sensations
(especially taste and touch)." 30 This leads us to the understanding that
phosphorus is essential for brain activity. There is a distinct difference
between the phosphorus needed by the bones from the phosphorus needed by the
brain. Phosphorus for the brain comes from meat, dairy and fish whereas
phosphorus for the bones comes from fruits and vegetables. Phosphorus is vital in
synthesizing lecithin and cerebrin, which are both needed by the brain. Phosphorus
compounds like lecithin are found everywhere in the tissues, lymph, and other of
the body as well as in the white and gray matter of brain and nerve tissue.
Phosphorus stimulated hair growth and prevents the blood from becoming too acid or
alkaline. It is also necessary for the synthesis of the RNA and DNA.

White blood corpuscles are comprised of approximately 90% water, nucleo-albumin

and cell globulin rich proteins, which contain up to 10% phosphorus. The
deficiency of phosphorus causes a lowering of metabolism and compromises health.
One of the important phosphates and concern in our society today is Calcium
phosphate, which is essential to the body for osteosis, bone building and repair,
and bone metabolism. Lack of calcium and phosphorus is indicated in osteoporosis.
It should be noted that calcium and Vitamin D are essential for proper phosphorus
function. Phosphorus can be depleted by the intake of aluminum, sugar, magnesium
and iron, salts from cookware, mineral oil and tobacco. The most common sign of
phosphorus deficiency is osteoporosis.
