It is recommended that the average adult intake no more than 700mg of phosphate per day.

So why does our food have so much?

Phosphate is a food additive. The push to reduce sodium from our diets has had our food sources replacing that with phosphate, to ensure taste and preservation. While most people may excrete this phosphate just fine – elderly patients, especially chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients cannot excrete phosphate as effectively.
