Proferrin® Lactoferrin

A highly purified, patented lactoferrin to naturally support immunity, iron balance, and gut health

Proferrin® is a premium, highly purified lactoferrin, obtained from milk using a rigorous manufacturing process that preserves its structure and biological activity. Naturally present in colostrum, breast milk, and many bodily secretions, lactoferrin is a glycoprotein known for its essential role in natural defenses and iron metabolism.

Thanks to its strong affinity for iron, it helps regulate its absorption and availability while contributing to the maintenance of intestinal balance and immune defenses. Unlike conventional iron supplements, lactoferrin promotes better iron utilization by the body while generally being better tolerated digestively.

Proferrin® is now considered a quality benchmark for lactoferrin formulations intended for high-end supplementation.

Why did we choose Proferrin®?

✔ Highly purified premium lactoferrin

✔ Preserved biological structure for optimal activity

✔ Several clinical studies in humans

✔ Simultaneous support of immunity and iron metabolism

✔ Excellent digestive tolerance

Studied benefits

Natural support for immune defenses

Lactoferrin contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system by supporting the body's natural defense mechanisms. Studies show an improvement in several immunity markers after supplementation.

Better iron management

Thanks to its natural ability to bind iron, Proferrin® promotes better availability of this essential mineral and contributes to maintaining a physiological balance of iron metabolism.

Excellent digestive tolerance

Unlike conventional iron supplements, which often cause digestive discomfort, lactoferrin is generally very well tolerated. Studies report fewer digestive problems while promoting better iron utilization.

Support for intestinal balance

Lactoferrin contributes to maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier and participates in the balance of the microbiota, two essential elements for the proper functioning of the immune system.

Overall biological protection

In addition to its role in immunity and iron metabolism, lactoferrin has antioxidant properties and helps protect tissues against certain aggressions related to oxidative stress.
