Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Phosphorus is scientifically validated as an essential mineral for supporting the skeletal system. Approximately 85% of the phosphorus in the human body is found in bones and teeth, where it combines with calcium to form hydroxyapatite, the primary structural component that gives bones their strength and rigidity. The importance of phosphorus in bone health is well-established in scientific literature and medical practice. Deficiency in phosphorus (hypophosphatemia) can lead to bone pain, weakened bones (osteomalacia in adults, rickets in children), and impaired bone growth. Most diets provide adequate phosphorus, but certain medical conditions or prolonged use of antacids can lead to deficiency and consequent skeletal issues. Phosphorus is required for proper bone mineralization alongside calcium and vitamin D, and its intake is considered crucial for maintaining bone density and preventing skeletal deformities. The scientific consensus, supported by organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is that phosphorus is indispensable for skeletal health, and its use is entirely justified by scientific evidence.
