IP6 GOLD Patented Immune Support Formula

IP6 is a unique supplement containing the Inositol phosphate IP6 bonded with Inositol. According to Abul Kalam M. Shamsuddin, MD, PhD., in his book IP6 Nature's Revolutionary Cancer-fighter", the health effects of this combination are greater than that of each form alone...this addition of Inositol to IP6 makes it an even better anticancer cocktail.

What is IP6?

IP-6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate) is a naturally occurring compound found primarily in grains and legumes. The health benefits of a diet high in fiber seem to be due to the high levels of IP-6 in the fiber. Purified IP-6 offers several advantages over dietary IP-6. Its rapid absorption compared to dietary IP-6 ensures much superior bio availability. This in turn exerts significant benefits to the support of the immune system.

Why combine IP6 with Inositol?

Dr. Shamsuddin theorized that when Inositol was properly combined with IP-6 it formed two molecules of IP-3 in the body. Although IP-6 gets all the attention, it is really the IP-3 that is doing all the work. IP-3 plays an important role in cells by helping them grow, mature, replicate and communicate with other cells. Cells that are low in IP-3 can become out of control, dividing uncontrollably. Studies confirm that the combination of IP-6 with Inositol yields much greater effects than IP-6 alone.

IP6 plus Inositol as an Antioxidant and NK-Cell Stimulant.

IP-6 with Inositol has not only produced remarkable results in existing disease in both human and animal studies, but it’s main use could be in prevention of disease.. Speaking of prevention, in clinical studies IP-6 has also been shown to inhibit kidney stone formation, improve cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol and aiding sugar metabolism in diabetes. IP-6 is also an effective antioxidant. It acts to neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals on body cells and has been shown to enhance immunity by boosting the activity of natural killer (NK) cells. immune system cells (also called lymphocytes are the bodies first line of defense against a variety of diseases, viruses and other infecting organisms. IP-6 and Inositol enhances the NK-cells’ killer instincts.

Can IP6 plus Inositol be used alongside conventional treatments?

IP-6 plus Inositol has undergone extensive animal testing and human studies. No side-effects have been found, either when IP-6 and Inositol is used on its own or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. Indeed, Dr. Shamsuddin states that IP-6 and Inositol can actually potentiate these treatments

How much should I take?

Dr. Shamsuddin recommends taking a dosage of 2 capsules twice daily for overall good health. For those with known immune system difficulties the recommended dosage is 8 capsules or 1 scoop of bulk powder, twice daily. To achieve maximum benefit IP6 GOLD is best taken on an empty stomach.

Is it safe?

Absolutely! IP-6 with Inositol is found naturally within every body cell. In experimental studies, no adverse side effects have been noted even with prolonged use at high doses. There are no known drug-nutrient interactions. Extensive research studies indicate that IP-6 and Inositol are a safe and natural combination.

health benefits of IP6 GOLD

Immune Support:

One of the most exciting 'side effects' discovered during IP-6 + Inositol research was its ability to support the immune system by augmenting the response and effectiveness of natural killer (NK) cells. There is a direct relationship between NK cell activity and cancer incidence. When NK activity is high the incidence of cancer is much lower, conversely when NK activity is low the risk increases. These NK cells also play a role in identifying and destroying viruses and bacteria. A strong immune system is vital in fighting cancer, viruses and bacteria, IP-6 + Inositol can play an important role by stimulating and strengthening the NK cells, our body’s first line of defense.

Nature's Super Antioxidant IP6:

It is widely accepted that a broad spectrum of antioxidant intake during our lifetime can play a role in the prevention of many conditions. A published study on colon cancer prevention compared the benefits of the famed antioxidant, green tea, to IP-6. The results indicated green tea had a marginal effect, whereas IP-6 had a much more pronounced effect. Ironically, there was a very strong synergistic effect of the two combined. Once absorbed in the body, each IP-6 molecule has the ability to neutralize up to a dozen oxidants, making it one of our most potent antioxidants

available. In addition, research is now indicating that Inositol also provides antioxidant activity.

Osteoporosis:

Calcium Magnesium and Phosphorus are bound to the IP-6 molecule. For every 4 capsules (a daily dosage) of IP6 Gold, there are approximately 300 mg. of Calcium, 84 mg. of Magnesium and 400 mg. of Phosphorus. This mineral content can vary by 10 - 15% due to the extraction process of rice bran. Because the IP-6 acts as a carrier, it is believed the absorption rate of these minerals is quite high versus traditional mineral supplements. A clinical study to examine the extent of benefits in terms of bone density measures is planned for the near future. Until then IP6 Gold provides a sensible way to supplement ones diet to insure they are getting ample amounts of these bone building nutrients.

Depression & Mood Disorders:

Higher dosages of Inositol have been shown to have mild anti-anxiety effects. Clinical trials of Inositol have found it useful for clinical depression, panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder. Because IP-6 is also involved in energy production in the ATP-ADP cycle, the combination of IP-6 + Inositol may also help to energize the cells of the brain, thereby providing a lift in mood and feelings of depression.

Diabetes:

A recent study identified phosphorylated Inositols, particularly IP-6, as playing a key role in the stimulus-response coupling that ultimately leads to the release of insulin. Proper insulin production is necessary for blood sugar control. Those with diabetes may suffer from a lack of glucose entering the cells which ultimately leads to an Inositol deficiency. Complications of diabetes include an increase in cardiovascular disease, weakened immune system, high levels of oxidative stress and nerve damage. IP-6 + Inositol supplementation can be beneficial in each of these complications.

Cardiovascular Disease:

The clinical cardiovascular research on IP-6 + Inositol is minimal. However, all the right mechanisms of action appear to be there. This supplement has demonstrated an ability to reduce inflammation, inhibit platelet aggregation, regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels, bind excess iron and even reverse plaque formation in arteries. It is also a potent antioxidant. There is no wonder why IP-6 + Inositol have become known as the “Aspirin of Natural Medicine” due to its wide range of applications.

Kidney Stones:

Most kidney stones are caused by abnormal accumulation of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate. As far back as 1958 studies show IP-6 has an ability to reduce excessive calcium from the urine. Another study shows IP-6 has a significant impact on the inhibition of calcium oxalate crystallization, a key event required for kidney stone formation. In the past, diets high in rice bran (IP-6) have been used to treat kidney stones. It is much easier to take IP-6 in capsule form.
