Beta Zearalanol (Cat No.: R000142) is a mycotoxin produced by the fungus Fusarium found in corn and other grains. It is chemically related to the hormone estrogen and has estrogenic activity, which can affect animal growth and reproduction. Zearalanol and its metabolites are often found in animal feed, leading to concerns over food safety. It has been studied for its potential to enhance animal growth, but its use in agriculture is regulated due to its hormonal effects on livestock and humans.
