Struggling with Low Iron? Discover the Natural Protein That’s Changing the Way We Treat Anemia
Fatigue. Shortness of breath. Constant cold hands and feet. If you’ve ever battled iron deficiency anemia, 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 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 reclaim their energy, vitality, and sense of wellbeing by supporting healthy iron levels.
Let’s look at how lactoferrin works, what the research says, and why it could be the missing link in your iron support strategy.
What Is Lactoferrin and Why Is It So Effective 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 regulate and transport iron, making it available where your body needs it while limiting access to harmful bacteria and pathogens that thrive on excess iron.
Unlike conventional iron tablets, which can irritate the digestive tract or cause constipation, lactoferrin supports iron balance gently and efficiently. It works by improving 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 Says: Lactoferrin vs Traditional Iron Supplements
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 diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. 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 significantly fewer gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea and constipation.
-
Additionally, lactoferrin reduced levels of IL-6, a pro-inflammatory marker often elevated in anemia and chronic conditions.
The takeaway: Lactoferrin delivered comparable results in restoring iron levels, while offering superior tolerability and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Study 2: Lactoferrin Improves Iron Absorption by Modulating Inflammation
Lepanto et al. (2018), writing in Nutrients, explored the mechanisms behind lactoferrin’s effects. Their research showed that lactoferrin not only improved iron absorption but also addressed one of the core issues blocking iron uptake—inflammation.
Highlights from the study:
-
Lactoferrin increased the expression of ferroportin, the protein that helps export iron from cells into the bloodstream.
-
It lowered levels of hepcidin, a hormone that restricts iron absorption during inflammation.
-
This dual action meant that more iron was made available and transported properly throughout the body, especially in patients dealing with inflammatory conditions.
Study 3: A Safe Option for Children with Iron Deficiency
In a pediatric study published in The Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, researchers evaluated bovine lactoferrin as an alternative to iron sulfate in children.
Results:
-
Both treatment groups saw similar improvements in iron markers.
-
The children receiving lactoferrin experienced no gastrointestinal discomfort at all, which is a common concern with traditional iron therapy in younger patients.
This study supports lactoferrin’s role as a gentle and effective iron support for all ages.
