What is Monocalcium Phosphate?
About Monocalcium Phosphate
Monocalcium phosphate is a chemical compound often used in food additives as a leavening agent and as a source of essential minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorus. While it's not naturally present in high concentrations in the body, calcium and phosphorus are vital minerals for various physiological processes.
While monocalcium phosphate can contribute to calcium and phosphorus intake, it's important to maintain a balanced diet to avoid excess phosphorus consumption. Excessive phosphorus intake, often found in processed foods and sugary beverages, can disrupt the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body, potentially leading to health issues.
