Inositol hexaphosphate, Phytate or Phytic Acid, is a sugar molecule attached to six phosphate molecules. It is found throughout nature, in wheat and rice bran, legumes such as soybeans and virtually every kind of mammalian cell. It plays an important role in regulating vital cellular functions, including cell proliferation and differentiation.There has been research on human liver cancer cells that were treated with inositol hexaphosphate and transplanted into mice. They found that inositol hexaphosphate slowed or stopped the growth of liver cancer cells and shrank existing tumors three- to four-fold.Inositol hexaphosphate does not kill cancer cells – it tames them and makes them behave like normal cells. Inositol hexaphosphate decreases proliferation of cancer cells and causes them to differentiate, often reverting to the size, shape and structure of normal cells. |
