What is Inositol Hexaphosphate?

Inositol hexaphosphate is the principal storage form of phosphorus in many plant tissues, especially bran and seeds. It is known as IP6, phytic acid or as phytate when in salt form.

Inositol is a B-vitamin. Its derivative, IP6, is an integral part of some grain and legumes, particularly soybeans. IP6 is a naturally polyphosphorylated carbohydrate also found in cereal grains, beans, brown rice, corn, sesame seeds, wheat bran and other high fiber foods. Other food sources of IP6 include wheat flour, almonds, tofu, oatmeal, soybeans and peanuts. Soybean seed is the best natural dietary source, containing up to 26% IP6.

Inositol hexaphosphate is an effective antioxidant and supports immune system function.
