  • Title: Absorption of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) through the skin in humans.
    Author: Grases F, Isern B, Perelló J, Sanchis P, Prieto RM, Costa-Bauzà A.
    Journal: Pharmazie; 2006 Jul; 61(7):652. PubMed ID: 16889078.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we present a pilot study of the absorption of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) through the skin in humans. We found that, after topical treatment with a 4% InsP6 rich gel, InsP6 urinary excretion increased 54% compared to the control situation (participants submitted to an InsP6-poor diet for 15 days, n = 6), clearly demonstrating that InsP6 is absorbed through the skin of humans. These results demonstrate the topical application as a suitable administration route of InsP6 in humans.
