Does Dairy Affect IP6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate)?

May affect absorption or how you feel

The short answer

Calcium in dairy binds IP6 (inositol hexaphosphate), forming insoluble calcium-phytate complexes that neutralize IP6's chelating activity.

How to arrange timing

Take IP6 on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours from dairy.
