Measures phosphorus — works with calcium for bone health and energy metabolism. Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body and works closely with calcium to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It is also essential for energy storage and transfer (as ATP), DNA/RNA synthesis, and acid-base balance. Abnormal phosphorus levels can indicate kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, or vitamin D deficiency. This test is often ordered alongside calcium and vitamin D panels. **Clinical use:** Vitamin and nutrient testing identifies deficiencies that can drive fatigue, immune dysfunction, neurological symptoms, and long-term disease risk — and confirms that supplementation is working. ## Who should order it? Anyone with restrictive diets (vegan, low-fat, low-carb), malabsorption conditions, fatigue, hair loss, mood changes, or currently supplementing and wanting to verify dosing. ## Biomarkers measured - [Phosphorus](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/phosphorus) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $18.99 | $24.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | Labcorp | $18.99 | $24.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | Rhode Island is not served.
