Why do we need it?<br />

Phosphorus is present in every cell of our<br />

bodies, with most of it being found in the<br />

bones and teeth. Phosphorus plays an<br />

important role in the body’s use of<br />

carbohydrates and fats, and is needed to make<br />

protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair<br />

of cells and tissues. It also helps the body make<br />

adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule used<br />

to store energy. Phosphorus works with the B<br />

vitamins and also helps with kidney function,<br />

muscle contractions, normal heartbeat and<br />

nerve signalling.<br />
