🥛 LACTOFERRIN

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein found in milk and other body fluids, well known for its role in immune defense and iron metabolism. Research has also found benefits for visceral fat reduction, cancer-related pathways, and iron status — particularly in women.

Visceral Fat Loss

Dose: ~300mg daily (commonly split into 2 servings)

• A randomized controlled trial found that daily lactoferrin supplementation reduced visceral and subcutaneous fat area in subjects with visceral fat accumulation over 8 weeks.

Anti-Cancer Properties

• Lactoferrin has been shown to act selectively against cancer cells while sparing healthy cells, through mechanisms including immune modulation, anti-angiogenic effects, and direct interference with cancer cell growth and metastasis — with a strong safety profile across studies.

Essential for Female Athletes & Pregnancy — Gentle Iron Optimization

• Gentle Iron Optimization: Lactoferrin delivers iron through receptor-mediated uptake in the intestine, allowing the body to absorb iron more efficiently without the GI distress (constipation, nausea, cramping) commonly caused by traditional ferrous sulfate supplements.
• Combating Inflammation: By binding free iron, lactoferrin helps lower inflammatory markers like IL-6 and prevents iron from being "trapped" by inflammation — a major cause of inflammation-related anemia.
• Women, Pregnancy & Athletes: Clinical research shows lactoferrin is as effective as traditional iron supplements for treating anemia and improving iron status in pregnant women, while being significantly better tolerated.
