Description

Phytate Sodium is a complex sodium salt of the corn-derived plant component Phytic Acid , that used as a chelating agent in all types of cosmetic products, including soaps, shampoos, balms and leave-on products for the face or body. Phytate Sodium is a biodegradable product and appears in the form of a dark-coloured liquid, is soluble in water and has a characteristic odour. It can be used in all types of cosmetic products, including soaps, shampoos, balms and leave-on products for the face or body. In vivo and in vitro experiments have demonstrated striking anticancer (preventive as well as therapeutic) effects of phytic acid. Research shows anti-carcinogenic effects, albeit to a lesser extent and it acts in inhibiting cancer. In addition to reduction in cell proliferation, phytic acid increases differentiation of malignant cells often resulting in reversion to the normal phenotype. Phytates participation in important intracellular biochemical pathways, normal physiological presence in human cells, tissues, plasma, urine, etc., the levels of which fluctuate with intake, epidemiological correlates of phytate deficiency with disease and reversal of those conditions by adequate intake, and safety – all strongly suggest for phytates inclusion as an essential nutrient, perhaps a vitamin. Phytic acid, mostly as Phytate Sodium or other phytates, is found within the hulls of nuts, seeds, and grains. No detectable phytate (less than 0.02 % of wet weight) was observed in vegetables such as scallion and cabbage leaves or in fruits such as apples, oranges, bananas, or pears. In-home food preparation techniques can break down the phytic acid in all of these foods. Simply cooking the food will reduce the phytic acid to some degree. More effective methods are soaking in an acid medium, sprouting and lactic acid fermentation such as in sourdough and pickling.

In Vitro Use Guide
In MC65 cells, 48-72-hour treatment with phytic acid (100 uM) provided complete protection against amyloid precursor protein-C-terminal fragment-induced cytotoxicity by attenuating levels of increased intracellular calcium, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide, Aβ oligomers, and moderately upregulated the expression of autophagy (beclin-1) protein.
