Phosphorus: your body's oxygen

Phosphore : l’oxygène de votre organisme

Phosphorus is a trace element that's good for you. Less often mentioned than magnesium, phosphorus remains an essential component in maintaining the integrity of body functions.

Phosphorus plays a role in :

  • Nerve cell formation
  • Bone and tooth consolidation
  • Maintaining acid-base balance: which comes from what we eat
  • metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids: hence cellular energy
  • Collagen formation

Studies show that phosphorus requirements are :

  • 550 mg per day for adults
  • 250 to 640 mg for children

Phosphorus deficiencies are rare. However, if they do occur, the consequences can be dramatic:

  • Cellular dysfunction
  • Fatigue
  • Anemia
  • Bone problems leading to osteoporosis
  • Irritated skin

Phosphorus: foods to adopt

For optimal phosphorus intake, it's important to diversify your diet as much as possible, giving priority to natural, unprocessed and unrefined ingredients.

Phosphorus is present in :

  • Dairy products
  • Wholegrain cereals
  • Fish and liver
  • Cocoa

Oxygen in cosmetics

Phosphorus, as we have already seen, has numerous benefits for cell and metabolic function.

It's therefore quite natural to find it in many cosmetic products, to help your cells release energy and oxygenate them.
