Benefits of Quillaja Extract Saponins

Quillaja saponins have been studied for their potential benefits for animal nutrition. Some studies suggest that quillaja saponins can be used as an immunostimulant, helping animals to fight off disease and maintain health. In addition, quillaja saponins are thought to have beneficial effects on gut health, improving the efficiency of nutrient absorption in the digestive tract.
