MYCO-AD A-Z
MYCO-AD A-Z is the new generation of mycotoxin binders that
involves a special process, in which the clay is purified by extracting all
the non-clay fractions that interfere with the adsorption of mycotoxins. This
creates more points where the electrical charges of clay can coincide with
the electrical charges of mycotoxins, increasing the NET adsorption of bipolar
mycotoxins, and difficult to capture toxins, such as zearalenone.
Once the non-essential fractions of the clay are eliminated, its individual
layers are more exposed, presenting a larger surface for the adsorption and
offering more angles where the electric charges of the clay can coincide with
the electric charges of the mycotoxin.
This process allows MYCO- AD A-Z to maintain the adsorption
of polar mycotoxin and increases the adsorption capacity of the bipolar mycotoxin
and of those toxins structurally difficult to capture, such as zearalenone.
As is, for example, MYCO-AD regular can only adsorb 42% of the zearalenone
at a level of 5000 ppb. Yet, when the clay has been submitted to the
purification process, the adsorption capacity increases to 94% at 5000 ppb. In
addition to increasing the adsorption, it also increase the efficiency of its
adsorbent power, since instead of using 2.5 kilos of non-purified clay, it
would only use 500 grams to capture 100% of 500 ppb of zearalenone.
This same effect that MYCO-AD A-Z has with zearalenone is
also applicable to other toxins produced by fusarium molds, such as fumonisina
and trichothecenes. Moreover, there is an increase in the percentage
of adsorption of mycotoxins that are not produced by fusarium, such as the
ochratoxins.
MYCO-AD A-Z does not adsorb nutrients, since it is a non-expandable
clay and in addition, it has electrical charges more exposed to the surface,
which makes it react with bipolar substances of high reactivity, such as mycotoxins. Although
several of the nutrients present bipolar electric charges, this molecules have
a very low reactivity in comparison to the mycotoxin, making it very difficult
to be adsorb by MYCO-AD A-Z.
The mechanism of action is adsorption and is irreversible, once the mycotoxins
are adsorbed by the clay, they are excreted through the feces. MYCO-AD
A-Z does not depend on any factors that are found in the GI track
that can influence its effectiveness such as, antibiotics, enzymes, bacteria,
etc.; and does not bio-transform mycotoxins in a metabolite that could be as
toxic as the original mycotoxin. MYCO-AD AZ does
not adsorb nutrients because it is a non-expandable clay.
