Fungal toxins

产品中心 / Products 更多/more

Some of the most common cancer-producing toxins are produced by fungi. One such toxin called Aflatoxin, can be found in mouldy peanuts and cereal. Livestock which feed on mouldy grains may absorb this toxin into their organs, milk and meat.

The GG probiotic has many studies documenting that it can effectively bind to and remove aflatoxin.
