Under mineral metabolism, they look at Phosphoric Acid.
Phosphoric acid is a marker of vitamin D and calcium. This marker indicates whether vitamin D receptors are activated. If phosphoric acid is low, then the person is likely vitamin D and/or calcium deficient. Low levels can be due to low phosphate consumption, low digestive juice production, or deficiencies in vitamin D, vitamin K2, or magnesium. It is recommended to do a Vitamin D test if the phosphoric acid is low.
Low levels of phosphoric acid point to a deficiency, which might stem from:
- Poor phosphate intake
- Impaired production of digestive juices
- Deficiency of vitamin K2
- Deficiency of magnesium
High levels of phosphoric acid might mean that a person has been exposed to toxic levels of lead, or that they’re getting too many phosphates in their diet (often from high consumption of processed foods). It can also result from inappropriate vitamin D supplementation.
In the first blood test (2016) it was indicated as low, this test did not indicate any Phosphoric acid. The low reading was why we started using the probiotic with Vit D3.
Vitamin D 29.1 (result) L / 30 – 70 (range)
Unfortunately, the South Africa test did not test for phosphoric acid.
