Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio (R) Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio (R) is:

\[ R = \frac{Ca}{P} \]

Where:

Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio (R): A measure used to evaluate the balance between calcium and phosphorus in the body or in a diet. This ratio is important for various physiological functions, including bone health, muscle function, and overall metabolic processes. An optimal calcium/phosphorus ratio is crucial for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, as well as for the proper functioning of the heart, muscles, and nerves.

Let's say the amount of calcium (Ca) is 1000 mg and the amount of phosphorus (P) is 500 mg. Using the formula:

\[ R = \frac{1000}{500} = 2 \]

So, the Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio (R) is 2.
