Phosphorus

The appropriate dosage of phosphorus as a dietary supplement is typically not measured in milligrams (mg) but rather in millimoles (mmol) or milliequivalents (mEq) due to the way phosphorus is typically represented in the field of nutrition. The recommended daily intake of phosphorus for adults usually ranges from 700 to 1,250 mg (milligrams) or approximately 22.5 to 40 mmol. However, dietary requirements can vary based on age, sex, and individual health factors. It's crucial to maintain a proper balance of phosphorus through a well-rounded diet, as excessive phosphorus intake, especially from supplements, can have adverse effects, such as imbalances with other minerals like calcium. If you have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions that affect your phosphorus intake, consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian is advisable for personalized guidance.
