A specific peptide extracted from bovine colostrum (“mothers’ first milk”) and possessing iron-binding properties. Lactoferrin has been shown to be involved in iron metabolism and biochemical processes in lymphocytes, as well as greatly impacting bacterial growth by regulating iron availability in the gut.* Obtained from the milk of Netherlands range-grazed cattle, raised without the use of hormones, antibiotics and pesticides with 95% purity and 77.5% to 80.5% iron-binding capacity.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, 1 to 3 capsules at night before bed, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
CAUTION: Lactoferrin may act as an immune stimulant. Research indicates elevated levels of lactoferrin are present in conditions of lymphocytic leukemia and pancreatitis, suggesting a potential, but undetermined contraindication. Individuals with autoimmune or allergic conditions should start with small doses and consult their healthcare practitioner.
Do not use during pregnancy. The body’s normal production of lactoferrin is drastically reduced during pregnancy, potentially indicating a lack of need during that time.
