Hello all,
I recently read on the forum that you can mix the IP6 powder from the capsule into juice and drink it. What a wonderful idea, Little Miss A. as picky eater as we all know, would not dare to touch the capsule but now we can give her IP6.
I just bought CF IP-6 & Inositol by Enzymatic Therapy, (Canada) and the formula is below:
Each Capsule contains
Calcium Magnesium Phytate 506 mg
(containing: 400mg Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6), which contains 110mg Inositol from rice)
The bottle says two capsules daily, please provide your input to the dosage for Little Miss A.
Thanks....

Canadian Family,
I am using the same formula. I aim to give him 2 capsules 2 or 3 times a day. It is difficult because it needs to be taken on an empty stomach. We have started giving him exjade at 4am so that when he wakes up he can have IP6 and then his calcium supplements 1 hour after that. I give him his second dose of IP6 when he gets home after school and his third dose (if possible) before he falls asleep at night. My son weighs 27 - 28kg.

Hi Sis , in my last visit i was talkng to my Haemo about Anti-oxidants , she told me that i can take carrot mixed with olive oil as an anti-oxidant and it will be good , when my bro asked to her to cook my meals in olive oil , she told us the same you are saying in your post that i quoted above , she said dont heat olive oil, heating could change its effectiveness.... she said it better to give olive oil by mixing that in Salad or when you are going to give that in meals then dont heat that , you may put olive oil in Meal after completing the cooking procedure ( in last after turning off the burner/oven)......

Thank you for your prayers Umair. All the better in capitals:) It means a lot to us that you are praying for us. I pray for you as well bro.
I have not heard that olive oil is not to be heated. It is common to cook in olive oil here ??? We cook all of our meals in olive oil, I hope that is okay :dunno
