IP6 |
Inositol hexaphosphate acid (IP-6), also known as
phytic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that's naturally present in whole
grains and high-fiber foods |
The mechanism
of function of IP-6 is not well understood at this time, however, its affect
within organism functions is well observed. Experts have
suggested that it could play a role in protecting the heart by reducing
cholesterol and triglycerides (fatty acids that circulate through the
bloodstream) as well as by preventing blood clots, a major cause of heart
attack. It is also suggested that IP-6
prevents and treats kidney stones by slowing the formation and growth of the
kidney stone's nucleus. Lastly,
indications have been observed where IP-6 is related to protecting the liver
by preventing the accumulation of fatty deposits in the liver, also known as
cirrhosis |
Recent studies are suggesting that IP-6 may improve the immune system
by increasing the action of natural killer cells. In addition, some testing has indicated
that it may also act as an antioxidant and slow the proliferation of cancer
cells. |

L-lysine |
L-lysine is an essential a-amino acid
- which means that humans cannot synthesize it. This amino acid is required
as a building block for protein in the body. |
A critical amino acid only available through ingestion, L-lysine is
required to create protein chains that build muscles; assist recovery from
surgery or injuries from exercise or athletic events; and is crucial to the
production of enzymes, hormones, and antibodies. It is also critically assist the absorption
of calcium. I also is essential for
the production of carnitine, which converts fatty acids into energy and helps
lower cholesterol. This versatile
amino acid plays a role in the formation of collagen which is necessary for
bones, connective tissues, and skin. |
The action of L-lysine in the body is well documented. As a nano particle, it should be ready to
be utilized immediately. Research has
indicated that besides the known
cellular functions, L-lysine may also be beneficial to those that
suffer from Herpes simplex infections including the herpes zostar virus which
causes shingles. Researchers also
speculate that since it helps with calcium absorption, L-lysine may help
prevent osteoporosis. |

Magnesium |
Magnesium
is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health.
Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is
found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of
magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood
levels of magnesium constant [1]. |
Magnesium is
needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain
normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a
healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood
sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in
