Optishield®

Innovative, natural and proven viral and bacterial protection

A unique combination of monoglycerides, surfactants and immune-supporting oligosaccharides. Optishield is your new solution to reduce the risk of lipid-membraned viruses like African Swine Fever.

  • New research shows that Optishield’s unique monoglycerides are at least 20 times more potent against the ASF virus than free, or activated, medium chain fatty acids
  • Delivers a 90% reduction in infective ASF virus within 30 minutes
  • Helps reduce inflammation inside your pigs

In collaboration with leading scientists around the world, Natural Biologics has identified the combination of monoglycerides that offer the greatest efficacy against lipid membraned viruses.
