Description

Phytic acid is a naturally occurring compound that is found in plants. It can be found in grains such as wheat, corn, rice, and oats. Phytic acid has been shown to inhibit the absorption of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc from the diet. This may be due to its ability to bind these minerals in the gastrointestinal tract. The binding of these minerals may also lead to an increase in bioavailability of phytates by preventing their absorption from the gut. Phytic acid has been shown to have a number of physiological effects on humans including inhibition of squamous carcinoma growth and autoimmune diseases. It also has been shown to have biological properties that include being an inhibitor for binding with other compounds such as sodium citrate and inositol.
