A pH buffer that keeps your supplement at the right acidity level for stability and absorption.
No. The amount in a supplement is a fraction of a milligram of sodium. Negligible compared to your food intake.
No. You need about 700mg of phosphorus daily. A supplement excipient provides micrograms.
Many ingredients degrade faster at wrong pH levels. Vitamin C breaks down in alkaline conditions. B vitamins need slightly acidic pH. Buffers keep things in the sweet spot.

Some ingredients build up over weeks. Others act fast.
The compound effect of consistent dosing.
Check the cautions section if you have a pre-existing condition.
Some ingredients you feel. Others just work in the background.
Related but different. Disodium phosphate is milder and commonly used in food. TSP is more alkaline and mainly used in cleaning products.
No. The sodium contribution is negligible. A single olive has more sodium.
Technically synthetic (sodium hydroxide + phosphoric acid), but the same compound exists in nature.
Acts as a buffering agent in the alkaline range (pH 7-9). Maintains stable pH to prevent degradation of active ingredients and ensure consistent dissolution.
Disodium Phosphate has emerging evidence.
Synthetic (sodium hydroxide + phosphoric acid)
Phosphoric acid neutralized with sodium hydroxide, then crystallized.
Disodium Phosphate interacts with other supplements and meds. The analyzer flags interactions, dose mismatches, and timing collisions across your whole list.
