About 85% of the phosphorus in the body is in bones. Phosphorus is the body’s next most abundant mineral after calcium. The body uses phosphorus to form strong bones and teeth, maintain a normal pH balance, get oxygen to tissues, make energy, change protein, fat and carbohydrate into energy, develop connective tissues and organs, move muscles, produce hormones and use B vitamins.
