Safety Issues
In general, phosphorus is a safe nutritional substance.
One-time high intake of some forms of phosphate may cause diarrhea. It is also possible that ongoing intake of phosphorus at high levels may impair absorption of copper , iron and zinc . 1 Some evidence hints that excessive consumption of phosphorus in the form of soft drinks might increase kidney stone risk, but study results are contradictory, and if there is an effect it appears to be small. 2 3 Individuals with severe kidney disease should avoid phosphorus supplements, just as they must avoid taking too much of many other minerals.
