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.
Alkaline phosphatase -- commonly abbreviated as ALP -- is a protein found in all cells of the body. The highest concentrations of ALP are located in cells of the liver, bones and bile ducts. ALP in the blood is primarily derived from excess ALP that is released from these cells. Blood levels of ALP are often measured as part of routine blood tests. Although many conditions, including liver and bone diseases, can cause high levels of ALP, low blood ALP levels are uncommon.
