Calcium to phosphorus ratio, essential elements and vitamin D content of infant foods in the UK: Possible implications for bone health

Abstract: Adequate intake of calcium and phosphorus in the appropriate ratio of 1-2:1 (Ca:P), in addition to magnesium and vitamin D, is vital for bone health and development of infants. In this feasibility study, the ratio of Ca:P in conjunction with vitamin D and other essential elements (Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and Zn) in a range of commercial infant food products in the UK was investigated. The elemental analysis was carried out using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, and vitamin D levels were det… Show more

“…With the exception of some red macroalgae, seaweeds exhibit a higher content of Ca than P (Ca/P >> 7, Table 1), which is identical to that found in Aloe vera and sage [92,97]. It should be noted that the Ca/P ratio is correlated with metabolic bone disease and the skeletal mineralization process [103].…”

“…Authors such as Loughrill et al [ 54 ] have suggested that adequate intake of calcium and phosphorus should be in the appropriate ratio of 1–2:1. Poor calcium absorption can be magnified if the calcium–phosphorus ratio is inadequate [ 14 , 49 , 55 , 56 , 57 ].…”

“…However, the calcium-phosphorus ratio was significantly higher in AMS than RS, a difference that remained in all age groups. This is a benefit for the AMS group, which has a higher calcium intake and higher calcium/phosphorus ratios in their diets; given that low calcium intake associated with high phosphorus intake may have an adverse effect on the use of calcium and maintenance of bone mass in children [49,54,55].…”

“…This is important because concerns have been raised over a high intake of commercial baby food products . Specifically, this may have implications for energy and sugar intake as commercial jarred baby food may provide portion sizes that provide more calories from solid foods than a child of this age requires .…”
