IP6 - Latest Update
PositiveVibes:
Hi all! :wink
yesterday I receive IP-6 Inositol Hexaphosphate 510 mg , I intend to get 2 capsules 2 times, which means 4 per day. I am 56 kg and wonder if this dose would be appropriate for my weight.
Another concern of mine is that, I will start using Ferriprox 8 tablets almost every day combind with desferal for 4-5 days per week. As I understood, IP6 has a great impact on iron and helps us to lower our ferretin levels. But the question is - can I use this combination on a day- IP6(4tablets)+Ferriprox(8 tablets)+ Desferal (4 ones). Is it possible to overtreat my body in some way? I do not know whether it can be dangerous because of the many medicines for iron.
Does someone use this combination and have experience? :)
I should also get Calcium-Magnesium-Zinc as a supplemet, is it right? If there is something that u think I missed and I don't know, please share it with me :)

Hi Rozitka,
Yes, that dose is fine for you. Take two tablets two times each day with a glass of water. Take it at least 30 minutes before eating. If taken with protein foods like milk, the IP6 will react with the protein and lose much of its value, so only take it with water. IP6 is safe to use with chelators and is a supplement but is not strong enough to replace chelation. If your iron ever drops into a very low range (under 300 ferritin) then you should reduce your chelator but IP6 is always safe. It is already found in every cell in the body, so there is no concern with using more in supplements. One of its main properties is that it is an antioxidant which protects cells from iron damage. After a month of use, let us know if you see any difference in your skin tone (or color). Many patients report a lightening of the skin. This would be most noticeable in areas that get dark from iron, like the fingers.
A calcium/magnesium supplement is good for the bones and the heart but you should take some vitamin D with it to help it be absorbed by the body. Many thals are low in zinc so a zinc supplement can help.
