What can it do for me?
Supplementing with phosphate can help just about anyone with its wide range of benefits.
Phosphate plays a key role in a number of physiological activities:
Aerobic Capacity
Phosphate edge™ is known as the “breathing pill” for its ability to raise VO2 Max and VAT. VO2 Max is a measure of maximal oxygen consumption. VAT is the ventilary breakpoint that is reached when the breathing rate is increased due to the body’s production of CO2. Increasing these measures helps you go harder for a longer period of time.
ATP Production
ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) must be formed to provide energy for your muscles to do work. Supplemental phosphate increases the body’s formation of ATP, which in turn lets your muscles work longer without tiring.
Buffer Lactic Acid
One of phosphates basic benefits is its ability to buffer lactic acid. Lactic acid forms around muscle after moderate exercise. This gives your muscles that stiff soreness we can all associate with after physical activity. By buffering this acid, phosphate diminishes this ill-feeling and lets you stay active without this pitfall.
Creatine Enhancer
Creatine is produced by the body and is in many of the foods we eat, mainly red meat. It can also be supplemented for those who workout frequently or suffer from neuromuscular disease. Creatine’s function is to act as a taxi, shuttling phosphate to your muscles to rejuvenate ATP stores. Without creatine, your muscles would feel almost instantaneous fatigue during exercise, as phosphate stores would be isolated and unable to replenish your muscles’ ATP stores.

What’s in it?
Phosphate edge™ combines four different phosphate compounds into one rationed formula for a complete synergistic effect. These compounds form the basis for an easily absorbed phosphate supplement to help buffer lactic acid, increase and restore ATP production and increase aerobic capacity.
Scientific Overview
Phosphate is the second most abundant mineral in the body and its functions are almost universal, ranging from aerobic capacity to the digestive system. The four different compounds found in Phosphate edge™ give it an ideal ratio for providing both aerobic and anaerobic benefits to those who seek them.
By providing potassium with the phosphate salts, this product meets the requirements for easy intestinal absorption and muscle assimilation. In particular, the level of potassium is important due to its ability to facilitate the cellular sodium pump, which moves nutrients in and out of the cell membrane. The ratio in Phosphate edge is exactly where it needs to be. In doing this, Phosphate edge is ideal for those with calcium deficiencies or for those with specific hormonal imbalances. In fact, doctors have been known to recommend this supplement to patients with these conditions. This is not surprising, as it was stated earlier that phosphorous has unlimited potential for use in a host of physiological functions. It is truly the most overlooked supplement in the dietary supplement industry.
