A member asked:
Is phosphorous beneficial for bone health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Phosphorus is essential for bone health. It is a main component of bone mineral. Most persons eating a typical western diet get plenty of phosphorus from milk, meats, leafy vegetables, and nuts so phosphate supplements are rarely necessary. Calcium intake, on the other hand, is much more likely to be low or even deficient.
