The human body does not produce phosphorus; that is why we can get it only with food and supplements. Products rich in microelement phosphorus include pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds, rice, oats, meat, fish products, egg yolks, whole grains, nuts, pulses and potatoes. Daily norm for phosphorus:
for adults – 1,400–1,500 mg
people aged over 51 – ~1,200 mg
pregnant women – ~1,600 mg
nursing women – ~17,400 mg
children aged under 8 – ~1,000 mg
teens aged 9–18 – ~1,200–1,600 mg
