MetPhos
MetPhos supports healthy blood calcium-phosphorus ratios and cellular metabolism and may be helpful for symptoms of indigestion, pain, nausea, and vomiting associated with gallbladder problems.*
It is often used along with the malic acid found in apple juice to help soften stones and can be used 3-4 times per day for a week before a liver flush. Some doctors report using the drops in water to relieve the pressure of gallbladder attacks.
Cells require a high-energy compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for a high percentage of their biological activities. The body cannot produce ATP without the presence of phosphorus. Phosphorus is a component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a fundamental energy source in living things. Phosphorus is essential for normal heart and kidney functioning. It speeds up the healing of broken bones and other injuries and functions to metabolize fats and starches for energy, as well as being necessary for proper nerve impulses and for niacin assimilation.
Phosphorus is needed to grow, maintain, and repair all tissues and cells and produce the genetic building blocks, DNA and RNA. Low phosphorus levels (hypophosphatemia) are usually asymptomatic. Chronic severe hypophosphatemia may cause anorexia, muscle weakness, and osteomalacia.
Phosphorous deficiencies may be caused by excessive intake of aluminum-containing agents (such as certain antacids) because the aluminum can bind to phosphorous. In addition, diabetes, starvation, alcoholism, and conditions that can cause abnormal absorption of nutrients can lead to depletion of phosphorous in the body.
There is a lot of controversy around the correct ratios. Still, the fact remains that if this ratio is disturbed and there is not enough phosphorous to hold the calcium in solution, extra calcium starts precipitating out through bodily fluids. For example, if it precipitates into the kidneys, it forms kidney stones. If into the teeth, it is called tartar. If it's in the bones, it's called arthritis. If it deposits in the eyes, it is called cataracts. All of these are symptoms of phosphorous deficiency.
On the other hand, if the individual has a calcium deficiency, they can start getting dental cavities, and their bones start to deteriorate (osteopenia).
If people are nervous and jumpy, they need calcium. If they have no energy, just fatigued and worn out all the time, lack of phosphorous may be the cause.
Phosphorus is also an exceptional calcium mobilizer. When patients complain about joint and muscle stiffness after prolonged sitting or when getting up in the morning, this is a good indicator that they may need MetPhos.
Review Phyto Cal Mag + Boron, Solray D3 + K2 to support calcium absorption, and Omega GOLD as potential support for calcium transport.
