The market for mycotoxin binders is replete with bold claims: "98–100% efficacy," "complete protection," "universal solution." However, these figures often lack the most crucial element: real, reproducible laboratory evidence. Without it, efficacy remains merely a promise.
Why Laboratory Studies Matter
Mycotoxins interact with adsorbents not in abstract conditions, but in the specific environment of the gastrointestinal tract. The pH level changes—from acidic in the stomach to neutral or alkaline in the intestine. That is why it is critically important to test the product at different pH levels, and not just under "ideal" in-vitro conditions.
UniXorb laboratory studies were conducted in controlled environments that simulate real GI tract conditions—at the Centre of Excellence in Mycotoxicology and Public Health. This allows for the assessment not of the peak adsorption of a single toxin, but of the stability of action against several mycotoxins across different phases of digestion.
In vitro – not marketing
In vitro research is not a marketing number, but a reproducible experiment. It shows how the product behaves when conditions, concentrations, and types of toxins change. This is where simple adsorbents often "fail": high adsorption at one pH sharply drops at another.
For a farmer, stability is more important than a one-time maximum. Because feed is a daily load, not a one-time test.
From the laboratory – to the farm
Laboratory verification is the foundation of a predictable outcome. When the mechanism of action is confirmed by research, the farmer gains control: stable feed intake, preserved productivity, and fewer hidden losses.
In tests, UniXorb effectively bound ochratoxin A in both the acidic environment of the stomach (pH 3) and the neutral environment of the intestine (pH 7) – even at a lower product concentration. This indicates its ability to work throughout the entire digestion process, not just in one phase.
Research confirms: the key is not a one-time maximum adsorption, but the stability of action when conditions change. Such stability was recorded for UniXorb.
This means that the product has a scientifically proven mechanism of action and can provide predictable results in real feeding conditions, not just in the laboratory. Such data distinguishes a proven solution from marketing promises.
