IP6

We had ordered IP6 a while back but we did not recieve the product.  We have just placed another order, from a Canadian supplier - hopefully we will receive it soon.  I believe that the capsules are 50mg each and that we should be giving our 8 year old on cap in the morning and one at night.  Does this sound right Andy?  I will post when we recieve the product and our experience with it.

50 mg sounds like a very low dose of IP6. Usually the dose is 1000 mg or more per day. In cancer studies, the more IP6 taken, the better the results. There are no known side effects in even large doses, so this should not be a concern. IP6 is a naturally occurring substance, found in many grains. Its ability to attach to iron is why it is being researched as an anti-cancer agent and is why people are now beginning to use it to see if it can make a noticeable difference in iron concentrations in thal patients.

I'll confirm how many mg are in each capsule and let you know.  Thanks Andy!

The pills are actually 500mg each.  In this case would we give him 1000mg (2pills) twice a day? (Once we receive them).
Thanks again Andy. 

Hi Andy,
FINALLY!!!!!!!
We have just received the IP6.  500mg caps. 
Indications are to take a cap 3X a day (3 hrs after a meal & 1 hr before a meal). 
Is this a good dose for my 8 year old son, (52lb) or should I start with a lower dose?
Thank you!

Hi Sharmin,

IP6 has no known side effects so the dose is probably very safe, but I would suggest starting one cap twice daily and make sure he tolerates it well. After a month or so, go up to 3 caps daily. I don't think you'll notice anything at all as far as side effects.

Wow,

This is quite exciting. I sure hope that you get fast and positive results.
Keep us updated.

Take care, Peace!

Thanks andy.
I'll begin giving it to him today.  I will post results as soon as I have them.
I hope everyone will give it a try, I am very excited to do so.

sajid,

if i can find it here in the usa i would be glad to send some to you.... can I do that andy? lol? or is it illegal?

i dont see why it would be a big deal...

IP6 is basically a vitamin so there should be no problem mailing it to Pakistan.

Hi Christine,

Thank you sooooo much for your generous offer.

I can order it easily from the web, but I am still waiting for the results from the patients who can easily get it and use it.

Thanks again for your kind offer. You guys are soooo sweet.
Luv to Lauryn.

Take care, Peace!

Hello
from where i can get IP6 in India and from which company it is? also i would like to know about the side effects.
my ferritin level is 3451 micrograms/L. so please tell me the dose of IP6

We've been giving our son IP6 3X daily and this is his 3rd week.  The change in his skin color is very apparent now, others are noticing it as well.  People are commenting that he looks brighter.  The rusty residue on his cheeks has faded and he looks well.  I hope that this is an indicator of what the supplement is doing for his other organs.  We will test his ferritin in 2 weeks, hopefully his serum ferritin has also decreased.  Even if his blood ferr is not lower, I believe that the IP6 will protect his organs from iron and oxidative damage.  Thank you sooo much everyone for helping me learn about this.  This group has influenced our lives at the right time and it has positively affected our child's treatment.  I hope others will order this supplement as well.  I'll keep posting our progress.
