Now Foods Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) contains high concentrations of the natural plant antioxidants known as the phytate compounds. These phytate compounds works by protecting the body from the oxidative damage due to the accumulation of free radicals initiated by the mineral Iron. This IP6 supplement is fortified with Green tea extract for synergistic antioxidant effects.

Take 1 vcap twice daily, preferably on an empty stomach.

Inositol Hexaphosphate provides antoxidant protection and promotes cell functions in the breast, liver, prostate, and colon cells. It neutralises oxidative stress initiated by Iron, which is one of the major factors to free radical accumulation. Inositol Hexaphosphate supplements are suggested to regulate healthy insulin production. Normal insulin level is key to normalising serum glucose concentrations and preventing the side effects of extremely high or low blood sugar levels. Further, IP6 participates in the metabolism of calcium for bone mineralization. According to research, Inositol Hexaphosphate supports the activities of the natural killer cells that strengthen the defences of the immune system. Inositol Hexaphosphate supplements may be used by men and women to stimulate normal hair growth. It is also beneficial for the development of eye membranes and in the metabolism of the cells in the bone marrow. IP6 assists the liver in the transfer of fat to other organs in the body.

Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) or phytic acid is a component of fiber found in the outer bran of cereal grains, brown rice, wheat bran, corn, seeds, legumes, and other fiber-rich foods. It is also found in substantial amounts in every cell in the body. In structure, it consists of one molecule of inositol, a part of the B complex vitamins and 6 molecules of phosphate. Within the human body, Inositol Hexaphosphate assists in many cellular functions, especially in cell-to-cell communication. It works by dividing into two molecules of IP3, its form helpful for communication between cells. IP6 is also a powerful chelator, it has the ability to attach to excess organic and inorganic substances and facilitate excretion in the urine. It binds to heavy metals like cadmium, lead, and mercury, as well as to the excess of minerals like iron, calcium, and copper. Lead, mercury, and cadmium are dangerous to health. Lead toxicity is characterised by anemia, lethargy, coma, convulsions, abdominal pain, in children can lead to mental retardation. Cadmium affects the respiratory tract and exposure to it can lead to trachea-bronchitis, pulmonary edema, and pneumonitis. Mercury at high levels is lethal to the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs, and the immune system. In unborn babies, mercury in their bloodstream causes delayed development of their nervous system and future cognitive delays. Calcium, Iron, and copper are minerals that benefit the body at the right amounts. However, extremely high concentrations can lead to kidney stones, cardiovascular diseases, and fatty liver disease. Accumulation of too much Iron in the body occurs with age, resulting to thriving of harmful organisms like Candida Albicans, H. Pylori, Herpes Virus, and hepatitis viruses. It is also one of the major factors contributing to the accumulation of destructive free radicals in the body leading to cell damage and loss of functions. Antioxidants in Inositol Hexaphosphate supplements may help neutralise these harmful effects of free radical proliferation. Natural food sources contain small amounts of Inositol Hexaphosphate may not produce all its beneficial effects. The best way to gain all the Inositol Hexaphosphate benefits is to take it in supplements form. Now Foods Inositol Hexaphosphate combines it with Green tea extract for synergistic antioxidant effects.
