IP-6, Inositol Hexaphosphate

Inositol hexaphosphate is a sugar molecule attached to six phosphate molecules. It is found throughout nature, in wheat and rice bran, legumes such as soybeans and virtually every kind of mammalian cell. It plays an important role in regulating vital cellular functions including cell proliferation and differentiation.

There has been research on human liver cancer cells that were treated with inositol hexaphosphate and transplanted into mice. They found that inositol hexaphosphate slowed or stopped the growth of liver cancer cells and shrank existing tumors three- to four-fold. Inositol hexaphosphate does not kill cancer cells — it tames them and makes them behave like normal cells. Inositol hexaphosphate decreases proliferation of cancer cells and causes them to differentiate, often reverting to the size, shape and structure of normal cells.

Research has also shown that inositol hexaphosphate may help to fortify the immune system, prevent kidney stones, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, fight infection, and reduce risks of heart disease.

Kelp is added as an additional source of all of the B vitamins, as well as many valuable minerals and trace elements. Research shows that the combination of the B vitamin inositol with inositol hexaphosphate has remarkable health benefits for diabetics and sufferers of sickle cell anemia.

Wheatgrass is added to also supply vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Wheatgrass may help to eliminate cancerous growths. The molecular structure of chlorophyll resembles that of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein of red blood cells, which may be the reason for the effectiveness of wheatgrass.
