Lactoferrin and Gentle Iron Support

Struggling with Low Iron? Discover the Natural Protein That Supports Healthy Iron Levels

Fatigue. Low energy. Cold hands and feet. If you've ever felt the effects of low iron, you know just how draining it can be—physically and emotionally.

But what if we told you there's a natural protein in your body, also found in cow's milk, that can support iron absorption gently—without the harsh side effects often experienced with traditional iron supplements?

It's called lactoferrin, and our uniquely potent Lactoferrin 95+ is helping people around the world support their energy, vitality, and sense of wellbeing by helping maintain healthy iron levels.

Let's look at how lactoferrin works, what the research explores, and why it could be a helpful part of your iron support strategy.

What Is Lactoferrin and Why Is It So Helpful for Iron?

Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring iron-binding glycoprotein found in milk (especially colostrum), as well as in tears, saliva, and other secretions. Its key role is to help regulate and transport iron, making it available where your body needs it while supporting the body's natural microbial balance.

Unlike conventional iron tablets, which can irritate the digestive tract or cause constipation, lactoferrin supports iron balance gently and efficiently. It works by supporting the way your body uses and absorbs the iron you already have, rather than overwhelming your system with large doses of synthetic iron.

What the Research Explores: Lactoferrin and Iron Support

The following summarises published research. This describes published research and is not a claim about the effects of our product.

Study 1: Lactoferrin Compared to Ferrous Sulfate in Pregnant Women

A widely cited study by Paesano et al. (2006), published in Biometals, compared lactoferrin to ferrous sulfate in pregnant women with low iron. Participants received either 100 mg of lactoferrin twice daily or 100 mg of elemental iron in the form of ferrous sulfate.

What the study found:

• Both groups showed increases in hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels.
• The lactoferrin group reported fewer gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea and constipation.
• The research also reported lower levels of IL-6, a marker associated with the body's inflammatory response.

The takeaway: In this research, lactoferrin showed comparable results in supporting healthy iron levels, while offering good tolerability.

Study 2: Lactoferrin and Iron Absorption

Lepanto et al. (2018), writing in Nutrients, explored the mechanisms behind lactoferrin's effects. Their research described how lactoferrin may support iron absorption and a healthy inflammatory response, which is part of normal iron uptake.

Highlights from the study:

• Lactoferrin was associated with increased expression of ferroportin, the protein that helps export iron from cells into the bloodstream.
• It was associated with lower levels of hepcidin, a hormone that influences iron absorption.
• Together, these actions describe how more iron may be made available and transported throughout the body.

Study 3: A Gentle Option for Children

In a pediatric study published in The Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, researchers evaluated bovine lactoferrin alongside iron sulfate in children.

Results:

• Both groups saw similar improvements in iron markers.
• The children receiving lactoferrin experienced no gastrointestinal discomfort, which is a common concern with traditional iron supplements in younger individuals.

This research supports lactoferrin's role as a gentle option for iron support across ages. This describes published research and is not a claim about the effects of our product.
