Cellular energy begins with iron. However, iron absorption varies greatly between individuals and depends on numerous internal and external factors. The key lies in iron metabolism, which ensures the proper transport, storage and utilisation of iron in the body – processes essential for oxygen transport and energy production.
How does lactoferrin work in the body?
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding whey protein that protects iron from unwanted reactions before it is further processed by the body. Also known as lactotransferrin, it occurs naturally in milk and body fluids such as saliva, tears, and especially breast milk. The highest concentrations are found in colostrum – the first milk produced after childbirth. In milk, this protein is part of the whey fraction, which makes up around 20% of total milk protein. Lactoferrin’s ability to bind iron makes it multifunctional in the body, particularly in supporting iron metabolism and the immune system. It is among the bioactive milk constituents with natural protective properties.
What is Bioferrin® 2000 and what makes it special?
Bioferrin® 2000 is a highly pure, bioactive lactoferrin obtained through a particularly gentle separation process from fresh sweet whey. This method enables a delicate isolation of the protein, ensuring high purity while preserving biological activity.
Why are the added nutrients important?
The B vitamin complex performs several important functions: riboflavin and niacin support energy-yielding metabolism and help reduce tiredness. Vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid contribute to the normal formation of red blood cells. The use of bioactive forms such as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, Quatrefolic® and methylcobalamin ensures the vitamins can be directly utilised by the body. Additionally, the formula contains iron – an essential trace element involved in numerous body functions, including the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Vitamin C increases iron absorption, while copper contributes to normal iron transport in the body.
