Description
Phytic Acid is the 6 phosphates ester of inositol, also called inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) or inositol polyphosphate. It is found in almost grains and fibers of plants in the form of insoluble calcium and magnesium salts (called Phytin) which are considered as the storage of organic phosphorus in plants.
MarkNature Phytic Acid powder is a plant-based component obtained from natural rice bran by a series of filtered purified, concentrated, and unique low-temperature vacuum spray drying processes. Compare with liquid form phytic acid, solid form phytic acid has higher purity and bioactivity and is also more easy and safe for transport and storage.

Application:
The most outstanding feature of phytic acid is its powerful chelating function with properties of antioxidant and antimicrobial which can be adapted in biological, in foods as well as in cosmetic and industrial fields.
Phytic acid has great potential for use in other fields, such as used in endodontics, adhesive, preventive, and regenerative dentistry, and in improving the characteristics and performance of dental materials. It also can be used in heavy-metal-contaminated waste treatment, radionuclides recovery from contaminated water, new modified electrodes development for cadmium and lead detection, and metal coating for inhibiting of rust formation and corrosion.
