Sodium phytate hydrate (Phytic acid, Dodecasodium phytate, Myo-inositol hexakis, Inositol hexakisphosphate) functions as a storage depot and precursor for other inositol phosphates and pyrophosphates. It can be used clinically as a hypocalcemic agent and a complexing agent for removal of traces of heavy metal ions.
