To my knowledge I haven't been using anything with phosphorous (pretty sure I'm good on that, since Trevor's okay after almost 2 years of it).
There was nothing there that specifically said 'phosphorous free' other than the Calcium+D3 that I get. Are those multivitamins okay? If not, what is a good brand that is?
You've used it this long and Trevor does have some issues. Whether it's from the multivitamin or her neglect while you were in school I'm unsure. Possibly both contributed.Phosphorous prevents the absorbsion of calcium into bone and can make them brittle, but as the calcium to phosphorous ratio is good then there may be no problem with the supplement. Idealy you want a source of calcium that is phosphorous free so that you don't run the risk of any bone diseases or at least lower the risk.

It may be a good idea to switch to a phosphorous free supplement in any case.
