Malnutrition is the most common cause of low alkaline phosphatase. In particular, inadequate consumption of vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium are the most common nutritional causes, along with excess consumption of vitamin D.
The alkaline phosphatase test (ALP) is used to help detect liver disease or bone disorders. 1  In conditions affecting the liver, damaged liver cells release increased amounts of ALP into the blood.  Any condition that affects bone growth or causes increased activity of bone cells can affect ALP levels in the blood.
