IP-6 500 mg 180 vcaps

Antioxidant support for prostate, breast, colon, kidney and liver cell health*

Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), also known as phytic acid, is a natural antioxidant component of fiber-rich foods such as whole grains and legumes and is found in almost every cell of the body. Related to the B vitamin inositol, IP6 differs by the presence of six phosphate groups, influencing various cellular mechanisms. In studies, IP6 promotes healthy cell metabolism and maintains proper enzyme activity in cells. The unique conformation of IP6 also gives it the specific ability to modulate hydroxyl radical formation, supporting natural defense mechanisms.*

Phytic acid can also prevent kidney stones from forming by inhibiting the buildup of calcium crystals, a component of kidney stones.

Phytic acid impairs (prevents) the absorption of zinc, iron, calcium, and other minerals.

It  is useful to take this following meals with excess elemental iron in persons with elevated ferritin levels to protect the body from oxidative stress due to elevated iron. This has been reported to improve lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Best taking this supplement with high iron meals, or meals supplemented with elemental iron including fortified cereals and grains.

It is important to monitor levels of zinc, iron and other minerals if taking IP6 on a regular basis.
