Chitosan for Detox

Chitosan for Detox

A chitosan-clay composite from Agaricus bisporus removes 91.8% of mycotoxins in animal feed and neutralizes 96% of free radicals, offering antioxidant and detox benefits. With high beta-glucan content and low cost, it’s promising for safer feed and environmental cleanup.
