Vitakruid Lactoferrin 150 mg minimum 95% pure + Vitamin C Important iron-binding protein
Lactoferrin is a type of protein found primarily in the breast milk of mammals, both humans and animals. The very 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 significantly afterward. Although the body can produce some lactoferrin on its own, it's never the same amount you receive at birth. Likewise, the amounts you ingest through a glass of cow's milk are relatively low.
Highest quality through cold extraction
This lactoferrin is obtained through cold extraction. This process extracts the active ingredient without heating it, preserving its original structure. Proteins are heat-sensitive, so extraction through heat can compromise their effectiveness.
Freeze-dried for long-lasting effectiveness
You maintain its potency by cold-extracting and then freeze-drying the nutrient. This process naturally removes the water molecules from the product. This significantly extends its shelf life and preserves all the nutrient's natural properties. This also allows you to keep the extracted lactoferrin cold during transport, guaranteeing long-term potency.
Contains 95% pure lactoferrin, completely free of LPS
Furthermore, we filter our lactoferrin after extraction, so we can guarantee a purity of no less than 95%. This also means it is completely free of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). This is a substance that naturally occurs in milk along with lactoferrin, but it reduces the effectiveness of the protein. This is because the nutrients have opposing effects in the body and can therefore suppress each other.
Capsules protect against stomach acid
Lactoferrin is encapsulated in enteric-coated capsules. When you take a capsule and it reaches the stomach, the capsule prevents stomach acid from prematurely breaking down the lactoferrin. This guarantees continued effectiveness. This ensures that the lactoferrin arrives intact in the intestines, where the nutrient must be absorbed for optimal effectiveness.
Also suitable as powder for infant formula
Lactoferrin 150 mg is also suitable as a supplement to infant formula. To do this, simply open the capsule and add the contents to the milk. 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 a deliberate choice because it's a commonly used dosage in scientific research. This ensures the effectiveness of this dosage is well-substantiated. It also allows for flexible dosing for increased needs. 300 mg or 450 mg of lactoferrin have also been extensively studied and are safe to take for higher needs.
