Reduce mucus and inflammation...
IP6, Quercefit quercetin phytosome, and lactoferrin, each with its milligram amount printed on the panel. Three ingredients chosen for one job: supporting healthy iron balance through chemistry that binds iron rather than pushes it.
For adults working with a provider who is reading their labs. 60 capsules, 2 a day with water on an empty stomach.
- Every Amount Disclosed
- IP6 400 mg
- Quercefit Phytosome
- Lactoferrin 150 mg
- No Proprietary Blends
- No Fillers
- No Synthetic Vitamins
- No Seed Oils
Why people use it
- IP6, and the reason it works. Inositol hexaphosphate carries six phosphate groups, three of them in an axial-equatorial-axial arrangement found in no other inositol phosphate. That geometry gives IP6 a high-affinity grip on iron and blocks iron's catalytic role in hydroxyl radical formation. That is the mechanism, and the research drop-down has the chemistry.
- Lactoferrin, the body's own iron handler. An 80 kDa glycoprotein from bovine whey that reversibly binds two ferric ions per molecule, with roughly twice the iron affinity of transferrin, and normally sits only about 15% iron-saturated. It is the protein milk uses to keep iron bound and escorted rather than loose.
- Quercetin, in the form that absorbs. Quercetin is a dietary flavonoid with an iron-chelating catechol group and extensive antioxidant work behind it. Plain quercetin dissolves poorly, which is why this uses Quercefit, a phytosome that pairs it with phospholipid to improve uptake.
- Supports healthy iron balance. FIQ formulated it to support healthy iron balance, assist cellular protection, support normal immune function, and support a healthy inflammatory response. Every ingredient amount is printed, so you can check each one against what has been studied.
- A practitioner's product. Three actives, three numbers, no blend. It belongs inside a plan someone is tracking with lab work, not a self-directed experiment.
Supplement Facts
Serving size 2 capsules; 30 servings per container. Read straight from the manufacturer's panel. Three ingredients, three numbers, nothing hiding in a blend.
| Ingredient | Per serving (2 capsules) |
|---|---|
| Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) | 400 mg |
| Quercefit (quercetin phytosome, from Sophora japonica flower) | 200 mg |
| Lactoferrin (from bovine whey) | 150 mg |
Other ingredients: vegetable cellulose (capsule), L-leucine. Panel as published by the manufacturer. Background chemistry from an IP6 review, a lactoferrin review, a quercetin review, and the NIH ODS iron fact sheet. Every product is lab tested; certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround.
How to use
- Adults: 2 capsules daily with water on an empty stomach, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
- Empty stomach is the direction for a reason. IP6 binds minerals in the gut, so away from meals keeps it working on the target rather than on your dinner.
- Keep it apart from mineral supplements. Take iron, zinc, calcium, or a multivitamin at the other end of the day.
- If iron is why you are on this page, get labs first and bring them to your provider. Iron status is measured, not felt.
- Give it a run inside a plan someone is tracking, and re-test rather than guessing at how it is going.
Sourcing & making
Made for the FIQ line, the Morley formula: IP6, Quercefit quercetin phytosome, and bovine whey lactoferrin in a vegetable cellulose capsule with L-leucine. Three actives, each with its milligram amount printed on the panel, which is more than most formulas in this category will give you. Every product is lab tested. Certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround.

Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6), 400 mg
IP6: From Seeds to Science - A Natural Compound's Path to Clinical Promise
Biomolecules · 2025 · mechanistic review
This review describes the chemistry behind IP6's antioxidant activity: its phosphate groups sit in an axial-equatorial-axial arrangement unique to IP6, and that geometry gives a high-affinity interaction with iron that blocks iron's catalytic role in hydroxyl radical formation. The authors note that IP6's mineral-binding ability, long treated as an antinutrient concern, underlies a number of its health-promoting effects, and that in the context of a balanced diet the antinutrient effect is insignificant.
Lactoferrin (from bovine whey)
Bovine colostrum immune review, 2021
Nutrients · 2021 · mechanistic review
This review describes the immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and antimicrobial peptides carried in bovine colostrum and whey, and the cell and animal work characterising them; lactoferrin is an 80 kDa glycoprotein that reversibly binds two ferric ions per molecule with roughly twice the iron affinity of transferrin, and is normally only about 15% iron-saturated. Human outcome trials at supplement intakes are the next step.
Quercefit (quercetin phytosome), 200 mg
Quercetin and immunity review, 2016
Nutrients · 2016 · mechanistic review
This review reports strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity for quercetin in cell and animal models, and summarises the human work to date - one trial found fewer upper respiratory infections at 1,000 mg/day in fit adults over 40, while another found 500-1,000 mg/day for 12 weeks raised plasma quercetin without moving innate immune measures. Quercetin's poor solubility is why phytosome forms like Quercefit were developed, and comparative human work on those forms remains to be done.
Bromelain (on the previous MRL panel, not on FIQ's current panel)
Foods · 2021 · mechanistic review
This review describes bromelain as a group of thiol endopeptidases from pineapple and reports that roughly 40% of an oral dose is absorbed in high-molecular-weight form with proteolytic activity still detectable in plasma about an hour later.
Evidence note: Ingredient-level and mechanistic. IP6's iron-binding chemistry is well characterised and is the clearest mechanism in the formula; lactoferrin's iron-binding affinity is equally well described in the laboratory, with human outcome trials at supplement intakes still to come; quercetin has extensive cell and animal antioxidant work plus mixed human trials, which is why phytosome forms such as Quercefit exist. What remains to be studied is this three-ingredient combination in a trial of its own.
A note on iron
Iron is essential. You need it to carry oxygen and make energy. The catch is that iron only behaves when it is bound and moving. Iron that sits in storage, or circulates unbound, is chemically reactive; it drives the free-radical chemistry researchers call oxidative stress, and elevated ferritin often travels with it.
Moving iron is a copper job. Ceruloplasmin, a copper-dependent enzyme, oxidizes iron so it can leave cells and be used. Without enough copper, that enzyme stalls and so does iron traffic. Retinol, real vitamin A, sits in the same system: low vitamin A status changes how the body handles iron.
That is why we build around whole-food copper, retinol, and magnesium instead of pushing more iron. Magnesium is there for its own reasons; the evidence tying it to iron directly is thin.
If you are thinking about iron, test first. Ferritin, serum iron, and saturation, read by your practitioner with your history in front of them. Iron is not right for everyone.

FAQ
What does IP6 actually do?
It binds iron. IP6's phosphate groups sit in an arrangement unique to this molecule, and that geometry gives it a high-affinity interaction with iron that blocks iron's catalytic role in hydroxyl radical formation. The same mineral-binding chemistry that earned phytate its antinutrient reputation is the reason it is in this capsule. The review is in the research drop-down.
What does lactoferrin do?
It is an 80 kDa glycoprotein that reversibly binds two ferric ions per molecule, with about twice the iron affinity of transferrin, and it normally runs only about 15% saturated. Milk uses it to keep iron bound and escorted. Here it supplies that protein at 150 mg a serving.
Why Quercefit instead of plain quercetin?
Quercetin dissolves poorly in water, which limits how much of an oral dose gets absorbed. Quercefit is a phytosome, quercetin paired with phospholipid, developed to improve uptake. Same flavonoid, better delivery.
Why on an empty stomach?
IP6 binds minerals wherever it finds them. Away from food it is working on circulating and stored iron rather than on the zinc and calcium in your lunch. That is also why you separate it from any mineral supplement you take.
Can I get a certificate of analysis?
Yes. Every product is lab tested and certificates of analysis are available on request, about a 2-week turnaround. Email us with your lot number and we'll start it.
