I think you need to have your phosphorus measured in the blood to learn more.

Phosphorus is excreted by the kidney, and will build up in certain disease states.

Here is a long detailed monograph on phosphorus.

This mineral is very common in many foods.
Here is a link with the top 10:

As you can see, many foods are very high and the amount in your vitamin is not as high as many foods.

I think it is wise to get some blood tests at your doctor. Have a Dexa scan of your bones, to see if your phosphate is coming from there. While you are there get a B12 and Vit D level in addition to electrolytes including calcium.
