THE PHOSPHORUS INITIATIVE
Building a Brighter Future for All
Welcome to The Phosphorus Initiative
At The Phosphorus Initiative, we are dedicated to help the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) community by raising the awareness about lack of phosphorus content reporting on the Nutrition Facts Label and working in conjunction with the CKD population, government agencies (FDA), food industry, political leaders and CKD advocacy groups to install phosphorus content on the Nutrition Facts Label so that a large and growing CKD population could benefit from it.
High Phosphorus Diet -The Silent Killer
People with kidney disease cannot excrete ingested dietary phosphorus effectively in their urine and therefore it accumulates in their bodies causing serious vascular disease (strokes, heart attacks) and bone disease. Approx 30 million people in US are affected by CKD and many more with Diabetes and hypertension at risk.
