Hi Andy,

The above puritan link shows that this product is not recommended for persons below 18 years. So is it advisable to give it to 8 months baby..?
Even my child is 1.3 yrs. Do you suggest this for him also..?

Pratik:

Well, what medicines and supplements doesn't list that caution?

That's a standard way for medical and pharmaceutical companies to escape any warranted lawsuit.

Pooja, regarding dose, I think one capsule for a small baby should be fine. Be careful though, IP6 causes me constipation from time to time and little stomach pains sometimes as well, so do continue to monitor your child's stool and also his mood, because it might cause stomach ache if not suited.

As Andy said, I'd advise too, to open the capsule and mix the powder with the food. I find that IP6 is digested much better if I take it after my meals, so mixing with food is ideal as empty stomach maybe prone to constipation.

Andy Battaglia:
Pratik is correct. Studies usually are not done on young patients, so the disclaimer is added. But keep in mind that phytic acid is already present everywhere in the body.

Pooja Thadani:
Thank u Andy & Pratik,
Will keep that in mind while giving it to him.

Rehman:
