CALCIUM PHYTATE is a calcium salt of phytic acid (also known as myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), inositol polyphosphate), which is a strong chelator (complexing agent) of important minerals such as calcium, iron. In nature, it functions as storage for phosphorus in plants, especially in the hulls of nuts and seeds. Phytic acid (IP6) for a long period was considered an antinutritional factor. However, in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated its beneficial effects in the prevention and treatment of several pathological conditions and cancer. It also exhibits protective action in Parkinson's disease and this is correlated with its anti-inflammatory effect, which may be associated with suppression of pathways that involved in NF-κB and p-ERK. In addition was discovered, that phytic acid might provide a viable treatment option for Alzheimer's disease.
