Description
Background/Introduction: Phosphorus is an important part of several of your body's processes. It helps with bone growth, energy storage, and nerve and muscle production. Many foods, especially meats and dairy products, contain phosphorus, so it's usually easy to get enough of this mineral in your diet. Most of your body's phosphorus is contained in your bones and teeth. However, some is in your blood. Hyperphosphatemia is when you have too much phosphorus in your blood. Hypophosphatemia is the opposite: having too little phosphorus. Various conditions, including liver disease and vitamin D deficiency, can cause your blood phosphorus level to become too high or too low. The magnesiums can react with ammonium molybdate and ferrous sulfate. The products can be measured at a colorimetric readout at 620 nm
