Food supplement in the form of a hard capsule containing lactoferrin - a protein from the glycoprotein group, that has the ability to bind and transport iron. Lactoferrin Proferrin® is obtained from cow’s milk.

If you want to take care of your immunity and improve iron absorption, then consider lactoferrin supplementation [1]. Lactoferrin is described as a multifunctional protein that is found in many body fluids, including milk, saliva and tears [2]. It is an iron-binding glycoprotein (approximately 77 kDa) that helps to balance iron levels in the body. Iron deficiency manifested by excessive fatigue, weakness, dizziness and headaches, palpitations, as well as excessive hair loss and deterioration of skin and nails significantly worsens the quality of life [5]. Lactoferrin supplementation in such cases may be beneficial in supporting iron absorption and iron deficiency [6]. Excess iron can also be harmful leading to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lactoferrin, due to its ability to strongly and reversibly bind iron ions, assists the body in maintaining homeostasis of this element [3]. In a study involving female long-distance runners who supplemented with lactoferrin in combination with iron for 8 weeks, they saw beneficial changes in blood counts and lactate levels compared to participants who only received iron [8]. This suggests a positive effect of lactoferrin on iron levels and exercise tolerance in physically active individuals. Furthermore, lactoferrin can be successfully used by pregnant women not only in supporting iron absorption, but also in supporting immune function due to its proven safety. The review noted that, under the influence of lactoferrin supplementation, pregnant women show improved iron absorption, favourable changes in blood morphology and less digestive discomfort with concomitant oral iron intake [6]. This avoids mucosal irritation and impaired intestinal motility [9]. Observations have shown a positive effect of lactoferrin supplementation or consumption of lactoferrin-enriched fermented milk on the skin by reducing acne vulgaris by 20.3%compared to placebo and improving its condition overall [10,11]. Our supplement contains up to 200 mg of Proferrin® lactoferrin, the purest branded lactoferrin available on the market (>95%), in 1 capsule. It is extracted from cow's milk, of high quality, from controlled farms. It is processed by microfiltration (without pasteurisation) and low-temperature drying, resulting in a native lactoferrin, with a structure and bioactivity identical to that found in fresh milk. Lactoferrin has the ability to bind and transport iron, so if you are looking to improve iron absorption - choose our high lactoferrin supplement!

New Environmentally Friendly and Responsible Packaging

Caring for the environment and quality, we are gradually introducing new packaging. Instead of the previously used BioPET, we are now using bottles made of rPET (50% recycled plastic) and standard PET – both are fully recyclable.

During the transition period, you may receive the product in different packaging variants, but we always ensure their high quality and safety.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us care for our planet together![1] Berthon, B. S. et al. (2022). Advances in nutrition (Bethesda, Md.), 13(5), 1799–1819.
