QUICK SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liposomal Lactoferrin?<\/span><\/span><\/span> is a complementary feed for dogs and cats with 240 mg lactoferrin per capsule. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein that occurs naturally in colostrum?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, saliva, and tears. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What’s in this supplement?<\/h2>\n

Each 300 mg capsule contains 240 mg lactoferrin. The lactoferrin is encapsulated by liposomes?<\/span><\/span><\/span>: small fat bubbles made of sunflower lecithin. The capsule shell is made of HPMC and is therefore plant-based. <\/p>\n

What does Liposomal Lactoferrin do?<\/h2>\n

Lactoferrin is a protein that binds iron and occurs naturally in the body, including on mucous membranes. It is chosen to support the natural immune system. <\/p>\n

The biochemistry per ingredient<\/h2>\n

What is lactoferrin?<\/h3>\n

Lactoferrin is a protein with sugar groups, from the same family as the iron-transport protein in the blood. It occurs naturally in milk and colostrum, saliva, and tears. This supplement is made from milk and is therefore not suitable for animals with a hypersensitivity to cow’s milk protein. <\/p>\n

Binding iron<\/h3>\n

Each molecule can firmly hold two iron particles, even in an acidic environment. Free iron is a nutrient for many microorganisms and can contribute to the formation of free radicals?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/p>\n

In the body<\/h3>\n

Neutrophils?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, a type of immune cell, store lactoferrin in their granules. The cells of the intestinal wall have their own receptors to which lactoferrin can bind. <\/p>\n

Liposomes<\/h3>\n

Lactoferrin is a protein and can be broken down in the gastrointestinal tract. That is why it is encapsulated by liposomes, small fat bubbles made of sunflower lecithin. <\/p>\n

How strong is this evidence?<\/strong> The structure and iron-binding properties of lactoferrin are well established. Much research into its effects comes from laboratory tests, animal testing, and human studies. Less research has been conducted on dogs and cats. <\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Can I give lactoferrin to puppies and kittens?<\/h3>\n

Yes, in the amount appropriate for their weight. Lactoferrin does not replace colostrum or mother’s milk. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Is lactoferrin suitable for animals with a milk allergy?<\/h3>\n

No. Do not give Lactoferrin to animals with a known hypersensitivity to cow’s milk protein. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
