Title: IP6 dosage for 5 years old?
Post by: BobaFett on January 14, 2023, 12:11:58 PM

Hi,

Found an IP6 supplement but the dosage stated is for adults.

For General Wellness:

The recommended usage is 2 capsules twice a day on an empty stomach.

Each dosage contains:
IP6 - 800mg
Inositol 200mg

Wondering what's the dosage suitable for a 5 years old (16kg)?

IP6 is a very mild supplement. I would suggest one capsule for a child, but more would not harm the child. It can be opened and mixed into food if swallowing a capsule is an issue.

I see, thanks Andy for the feedback.

Can IP6 be consumed after she wakes up, together with Exjade, both 30 minutes before her breakfast?

As from what I read, IP6 will be best consumed on empty stomach.
