Important iron-binding protein
Lactoferrin is a type of protein that is mainly found in the breast milk of mammals, both humans and animals. The first breast milk produced, called colostrum, is particularly rich in this substance.

Hence the word 'lacto', which refers to the richest source: milk. However, 'Ferrin' refers to lactoferrin's important ability to bind to iron.

Immediately after birth, we receive large amounts of lactoferrin through our first breast milk. However, this decreases sharply afterwards. Although the body can partly produce lactoferrin itself, this is never the same amount that you receive at birth. The amounts you consume through a glass of cow's milk are also relatively low.

Highest quality through cold extraction
This lactoferrin is extracted by cold extraction. The active substance is extracted without heating it, so that the original structure is preserved. Proteins are heat-sensitive, so extraction by heating can affect their effectiveness.

Freeze-dried for long-lasting effectiveness
You retain the effectiveness by extracting cold and then freeze-drying the nutrient. This is a process in which the water molecules are naturally removed from the product. This significantly extends the shelf life and retains all the natural properties of the nutrient. This way you can also keep the extracted lactoferrin cold during transport and guarantee long-term effectiveness.

Contains 95% pure lactoferrin, completely free of LPS
In addition, we filter our lactoferrin after extraction, so that we can guarantee a purity of no less than 95%. This also means that it is completely free of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). This is a substance that naturally occurs in milk together with lactoferrin, but reduces the effect of the protein. This is because the nutrients have opposite effects in the body, and can therefore suppress each other.

Capsules protect against stomach acid
Lactoferrin is encapsulated in gastro-resistant capsules. When you take a capsule and it arrives in the stomach, the capsule ensures that the stomach acid cannot break down the lactoferrin prematurely. This way you guarantee continued effectiveness. This ensures that the lactoferrin arrives unscathed in the intestines, the place where the nutrient must be absorbed for optimal effectiveness.

Also suitable as a powder for infant milk
Lactoferrin 150 mg is also suitable as a supplement to infant milk. To do this, open the capsule and add the contents to the milk. By the way, the same principle applies to adults who have difficulty swallowing capsules.

Dosage based on scientific research
This lactoferrin product contains 150 mg per capsule. This was deliberately chosen because this is a commonly used dosage in scientific research. This means that the effect of this amount is well substantiated. In addition, it provides scope for flexible dosing in case of increased needs. 300 mg or 450 mg lactoferrin has also been extensively researched and is safe to take if you need more.
