Why choose ZeniFIX?
ZeniFIX is a specially selected Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aliminosilicates (HSCAS)
blend, with high efficiency to adsorb polar mycotoxins such as Aflatoxins.
ZeniFIX possess ultra laminated and porous structure, building up a large surface
area which leads to maximum adsorption capacity.
ZeniFIX is mined in the Andes, the world’s best source for HSCA.
The Andes Mountain Range
The Andes are one of the largest mountain ranges in the world, stretching through the
whole north-south length of South America. The Andean mines are known to produce
the highest quality HSCAS products.
ZeniFIX is extracted from the Andes in Argentina, an area sparsely populated and with
no industrial production, thus zeroing the risk of dioxins and other industrial
contaminants to be present in the product.
Heavy metals and dioxins are major concerns associated to HSCAS products.
ZeniFIX is guaranteed to contain low levels of heavy metals and it is free from dioxins.
ZeniFIX is regularly analysed for the presence of contaminants in accordance to
international standards, ensuring its safety.
ZeniFix: Powerful against Mycotoxins,
Harmless against Vitamins!
The Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) is one factor that indicates whether a product is a
good adsorbent. A low CEC means that the product cannot bind mycotoxins, with a
too high CEC you might catch nutrients from the diets.
Some HSCAS can present a high CEC; many products adsorb important nutrients such
as minerals and vitamins which might impair the animals growth.
ZeniFIX CEC is controlled in order to guarantee its adsorption efficacy without
catching the feed nutrients:
ZeniFIX CEC
58~100 Meq/100g
Mode of Action
The calcium and sodium molecules from
Aluminum Silicates will bind to the
mycotoxins structure, being later
eliminated.
This linkage is strong and will resist to
variations of temperature and pH in the
gut.
ZeniFIX is indigestible and the
mycotoxins will be excreted with the
feces.
