Purchase phosphorus tablets
A lack of phosphorus, or hypophosphatemia, can lead to various health issues, including muscle weakness, bone pain, and even respiratory or heart failure in severe cases. In plants, phosphorus deficiency can cause stunted growth, dark green or purple leaves, and reduced flowering or fruiting.
In humans, a phosphorus deficiency (hypophosphatemia) can manifest as:
- General symptoms: Loss of appetite (anorexia), fatigue, irritability, confusion, and numbness or tingling in the limbs.
- Bone-related issues: Bone pain, fragile bones, and in children, poor bone and tooth development or rickets.
- Muscle and nerve issues: Muscle weakness, muscle pain, and in severe cases, seizures or even coma.
- Other complications: Increased risk of infection and electrolyte imbalances.
