Anyone heard of Phytic Acid

wow thats a nice response

So it is great for a extremely quick absorbing foliar spray
with chelation properties.

ip6 is responsible for storage of minerals such as calcium,phosphorus,magnsium, potassium as phytase

Phytic acid has a strong binding affinity to important minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, although the binding of calcium with phytic acid is pH-dependent[18] and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can reduce phytic acid's effect on iron.

phytic acid’s chelating ability is 2 ~ 8 times to EDTA

Phytic acid chelate , however, it’s pH value have a great affect to this chelating ability. For example, pH=2 is enough to chelate iron ion or cupric ion, but we need to adjust it’s pH to about 5 if we want to chelate calcium ions.

Compared to other chelate agents, it is distinctively effective in wider pH range
Besides this function, it is known to have strong pH buffer action

What do you plan on dissolving it in? I found this in wikipedia:

When a mineral binds to phytic acid, it becomes insoluble, precipitates and will be nonabsorbable in the intestines.

Which makes me wonder about it's solubility in water. Then again this is inside the intestines so make pH is playing a role there.

:comfort:
Not really sure.....I hope some brighter minds will give their input.

I think the health food store stuff would be ok, and it is water soluble.

Is there a scientific explanation for discontinue beneficials 2 weeks into bud?

wrong thread????
 
AMAZING!

AMAZING!

I believe it can be made from baker yeast.

I have Bakers Yeast & Brewers Yeast! :biggrin: how do you utilize bakers yeast to make Phytic Acid!!!!!!!!!! do you let it ferment or is there a more complex method of obtaining Phytic Acid??

Could I ground/soil feed my plants with brewers yeast would that supply Phytic Acid to form "huge flowers"

This is a completely new compound to me, cheers for pointing it out
I'M going to see how this can be used in making better flowers.

Peace.

I might try & get some Phytic acid from somewhere??
To get some results on if it works at increasing phosphorous through "sugar transportation" on my next crop of plants, any idea as to where I could obtain pure or as close to pure Phytic acid?
