Food Sources: Meat, dairy products, carbonated beverages.
Interactions: If phosphorus is taken in supplement form it must be balanced out with proper amounts of calcium. Excessive consumption of phosphorus can inhibit calcium uptake. Vitamin D enhances the action of phosphorus.
Recommendations: Most of us need to reduce rather than enhance our phosphorus levels.
