Sodium Phytate is a 100% natural chelating agent, sourced from rice or corn, and it is the sodium salt of phytic acid. It can be used as a 1:1 natural replacement for EDTA and It is readily biodegradable.
Sodium Phytate helps bind free metal ions to prevent undesirable metal-catalyzed reactions such as rancidity, discoloration, precipitation, and degradation of active ingredients. It also will stabilize and extend shelf life of formulas while boosting preservation efficiency.
