Read Aflatoxin binding is strongly supported and EU-authorised; the broad-spectrum 'all mycotoxins/endotoxins, up to 99%' claim is toxin-specific and partly exceeds the authorised aflatoxin scope.

Discussion — grounded in the evidence
Fortisorb Phyto is a clay (bentonite/smectite) mycotoxin binder plus yeast cell wall and phytogenics — a well-founded design.
Its clay base is EU-authorised for aflatoxin B1 reduction (1m558) and is backed by independent meta-analyses and broiler trials (≈90-95% aflatoxin adsorption in vitro; reduced liver damage).
Honest nuance: binding is toxin-specific — clays are excellent for aflatoxin, yeast cell wall helps with zearalenone, but DON/OTA are harder, so the flat 'binds all mycotoxins/endotoxins, up to 99%' claim is an over-generalisation.
The yeast cell wall adds immune support (and some zearalenone binding); phytogenics add hepatoprotective support — both plausible but less quantified for this exact product.
Practical caveats: binders can adsorb some nutrients, and high clay inclusion can depress feed intake, so dose matters.
Where studies disagree: Binding is toxin-specific: clays excel at aflatoxin (and reduce milk carry-over) but are weak against DON/OTA; yeast cell wall helps for zearalenone. Binders can also adsorb some nutrients, and high clay inclusion can reduce feed intake — so a flat 'up to 99% of toxins' claim is an over-generalisation.
Gaps: Exact clay type, yeast and phytogenic proportions are undisclosed. EU efficacy recognition is limited to aflatoxin B1; broad-spectrum claims are not EU-substantiated. Product-specific (Fortisorb) in-vivo data sit in the maker's own dossier.
Manufacturer’s stated mechanism (their words): A clay (smectite/bentonite) adsorbent binds aflatoxin B1 (and, with the yeast cell wall component, zearalenone and some other mycotoxins) in the digestive tract to prevent absorption; yeast cell wall β-glucans/mannans stimulate immunity, and concentrated phytogenic extracts provide hepatoprotective support.
