Low alk phos (ALP): Deficiencies in vitamin b6, folic acid, vitamin c, phosphorus, zinc, and protein can lead to low alp as well as an excessive intake of vitamin d. Hypophosphatasia, a rare genetic disorder affecting bone development, can cause low alp. other conditions associated with low alp include cardiac surgery,  hypothyroidism, and pernicious anemia.

Loss of liver energy: Low alkaline phosphatase shows liver is very weak and the minerals are depleted - which is usually due to cadmium and other heavy metal toxicity. Need liver detox and nutrients to boost liver energy.
