Zagribind is a U.S origin tri-layered hydrous alumina silicate with extremely consistent levels of sodium and calcium. It undergoes stringent manufacturing processes designed to optimize the cation exchange capacity of the material. Data generated for hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicates indicate that they alleviate the deleterious effects of certain mycotoxins by sequestration of the toxin through chemisorption. In other words, it binds mycotoxins, thereby preventing mycotoxin absorption by the gastrointestinal tract of many species of livestock.
