Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring iron-binding glycoprotein derived from milk, known for its significant role in immune modulation, iron metabolism, and antimicrobial activity. This high-purity grade is isolated from skimmed cow’s milk using ion-exchange chromatography, followed by advanced ultra/micro-filtration and spray drying, ensuring exceptional quality and bioactivity.

Standardized to ≥95% purity (HPLC) with controlled iron saturation (~12%), this form of lactoferrin is suitable for use in premium nutraceutical and functional formulations requiring high efficacy and consistency.
