- IP-6 (inositol hexaphosphate) is a component of certain dietary fibers, particularly most cereal grains, legumes, and seeds high in oil.
- Many researchers believe some of fiber's health benefits may be due to the antioxidant, immune-enhancing, and cardiovascular-supporting activities of IP-6.
- In-vitro and animal research has shown IP-6 to have significant protective and growth-regulating effects on certain cells and tissues, including those of the colon, breast, and prostate.
- Source Naturals IP-6 is free of other active ingredients.

For Better Health
19 Mar 2011
Size Name:Power 1 Gram Pwd (14 oz )
I take IP-6 to reduce the free iron in my body. Iron is a highly oxidative element. If you're not anemic, then you should be taking IP-6 for a better and longer life; especially good for men who do not give blood because iron causes more CVD.

Introduction to IP-6
IP-6 is just a fancy name for Phytic Acid which is a natural occurring sort of fiber that is found in most grains, nuts and beans. It does have some great anti-oxidant properties and has been shown to improve especially colon health. In that fact this product would suffice, however; it is unlikely that you would need this product. You could increase you intake by simply eating more nuts or beans than you already do, this is nice because beans especially are cheap. You could also eat more whole grains. If you already eat lots of theses listed items than you don't need more. Phytic Acid also loves to bond with essential minerals in you body like calcium and magnesium and prevent your body from absorbing them. Elevated intake of Phytic Acid can lead to malnutrition. So although you may have a five star colon, the rest of your body might be suffering. It is ill advised through research to take more than 800mg of Phytic Acid in a day due to this.
Now this product has taken a interesting twist to make IP-6 better for you. They are selling it as already bonded to calcium and magnesium. They do state that this results in receiving DV% of 59 and 23 for calcium and magnesium, respectively. This is unlikely as they will mostly stay bonded all the way through your body, however; it likely removes the negative effect of possible malnutrition. In that fact I feel this product does succeed.
Pros:
+Proven benefit to colon
+Great amazon price, $40 is the retail price
Cons:
-Likely unneeded amount of phytic acid
-Life-time commitment for full health benefit
-Not FDA approved
-Supplements are never as good as natural, and natural is readily available in this case
Overall why only 3 stars? It is founded that it does help your colon, but any fiber helps your colon. To make this product work it would have to be a life-time commitment such as with items like multivitamins and co-q10. You can't just take it for a couple months and prevent colon cancer 20 years down the road. So at 3 capsules a day this product becomes around a $10/month investment for you life. That is a lot of money something that can be likely accomplished with soley a proper diverse diet. I am also guessing that if you are in the market for health supplement that you are already eating a proper diet. I am no longer going to take this product, and I am not anti-supplement. I do take other supplements on a daily basis.
