Phosphorus binders

Looking for phosphorus binders that are palatable. Leroy doesn't like Catney One. Phos-Bind and a generic aluminum hydroxide powder sold at Thriving Pets was suggested by the IO group. Are either of these more palatable?
 
I didn't realize that's the same company that manufacturers Porus One. Makes sense the name of it.

No first hand experience with binders. Hopefully someone else will comment.

But some quick reading... Catney One is lanthanum carbonate and this paper says it can have a metallic taste. The aluminum hydroxide they say is odorless and tasteless but can be a bit grainy depending on the source. The Thriving Pets website says "...mix thoroughly, and let the food sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. The water and letting the food sit are to help the powder hydrate and the particles to break down so your pet can't detect the powder in the food." Lastly, this Reddit thread talks about Phos-Bind being grainy and maybe having an after taste.
 
I have the Phos-Bind on order at Chewy since I had other things to order. I got the small 35 g jar to try. If that's a no-go I'll try the one from Thriving Pets.
 
Squeem, just saw a post on FB talking about the RX Vitamin Phos-Bind having a tacky, corn starch texture. One commenter says it’s always been that texture. Another says it used to be sandy. The OP is putting it in capsules which I haven’t seen before. They say the cat won’t eat it in the food.
