IP6, (click the picture on the right) - commonly known simply as IP6(inositol hexaphosphate), also called phytic acid is a rice bran extract that removes excess iron & other metallic minerals from the body. IP6 is unique as it will only remove excess iron & not iron from within your blood cells as this is protected by haemoglobin. IP6 will also remove excess calcium & other metallic minerals that our bodies have accumulated down through the years.

Why is it important to remove excess iron?

Iron attacks & rusts your organs. As we age, we accumulate more iron than we need, adults accumulate in excess of 1mg of iron every day. We get this excess iron from our foods such as vegetables, meat etc etc. When we are younger we can use up this iron as our bodies are still growing however when we get older, is harder for us to rid our bodies of iron.

Iron Levels too high

This is not good, because excess iron in the body can cause all sorts of problems such as cancer & degenerative brain diseases. Women have a better chance of ridding their bodies of excess iron through menstruation; however men don't have this mechanism so this is the reason why scientists believe that women live on average five years longer than men.

The more iron you have in your body the more havoc it causes; it can also attack the heart & arteries. It does this by creating destructive free radicals which can cause premature aging of our vital organs. Most cancer cells have a higher iron content than normal cells with recent studies showing that leukaemia cells have far more iron than normal cells, some with up to 1000 times more iron.

How to rid our bodies of excess iron

The most effective way to remove excess iron from our bodies other than giving blood is a process called chelation. The most powerful iron chelating molecule on the market today has to be IP6 rice bran extract (inositol hexaphosphate).

IP6 is non toxic & has been proven to be safe as it does not harm healthy cells, it does not remove iron from red blood cells, in fact, IP6 is highly selective in that it targets abnormal cells by removing iron from tumour cells only & leaves healthy cells alone. Excess iron levels can also facilitate the growth of unfriendly bacteria. Unless we can control our iron levels, this mineral will encourage the growth of unfriendly bacteria & accelerate aging.

Other organs affected by iron overload

Liver

The liver stores iron & IP6 can play a major role in ridding this organ of excess iron. Also, many people suffer from a condition known as fatty liver; IP6 can be a great remedy for this condition also.

Parasites

Many parasites thrive in an iron environment. Parasites such as bacterica, yeast etc. Can play havoc on the human body if not kept in check. IP6 can treat & prevent infection within the body.

Heavy Metals

IP6 can also rid the body of other metals such as lead, mercury, copper, cadmium & excess calcium, note that IP6 will not remove calcium from the bones. As IP6 is a selective chelator it will not remove important minerals from the body such as sodium, magnesium or potassium which are vital to the body's normal function.

Kidney & Gallbladder

Many scientists are now claiming that IP6 can inhibit kidney stones from forming or even dissolve them if already formed. IP6 may also be beneficial in dissolving gall stones.

Arteries

Many studies say IP6 may in fact have the ability to remove calcium deposits from arteries.

Many people who take IP6 supplements have noticed that after drinking excess alcohol, they wake up the next morning without any side effects.Many report no hangover what so ever from the night before.

Brain

Excess iron can also have all sorts of implications for the brain. Too much loose iron may be responsible for the onset of brain diseases such as Alzheimers & parkinsons as well as many other brain diseases. There are many studies on at present which are using IP6 as an iron chelator to rid the brain of excess iron, some of these results look very promising.

Conclusion

Overall, IP6 rice bran extract is a remarkable molecule that can rid your body of excess iron & other metallic molecules that can cause aging. Imagine what it would be like to have a body free from excess metallic deposits, a body that doesn't age as fast, a body thats free from parasites & degenerative diseases, now you're smart enough to know the solution.
