Nutritional Tips

Phosphorus can be found mostly in our bones (approximately 80%) and the rest is distributed among other parts of the body. It plays an important role in our bone health and energy metabolism. Phosphate is a part of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and ATP provides energy to operate many functions in living cells (e.g: muscle contraction), it breaks down to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP) during metabolic processes. It also is a part of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).

Good sources of phosphorus are red meat, poultry, dairy products and bread.
