LACTOFER Iron Formula is a dietary supplement containing iron, lactoferin, copper and vitamins C, B9 (folic acid) and B12.

It contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells, hemoglobin and normal hematopoiesis. It also contributes to the normal transport of iron within the body as well as to the transport of oxygen, but also to the reduction of fatigue and fatigue.

The absorption of iron is facilitated by the presence of lactoferin,
while vitamin C increases the absorption of iron The iron found in LACTOFER Iron Formula, thanks to Dr. Paul Lohmann's micro2 [micronized mineral salts] technology®, ensures a smaller particle size (d90: approximately 300 μM), improved functionality and bioavailability.

Through a uniquely developed coating process, mineral salts are covered with a layer of vegetable fat. Thanks to this integration technology, mineral salts retain their natural characteristics and offer significant advantages, making iron sulphate, which is very active.

This eliminates unpleasant discomforts of iron, such as strong metallic taste, while there is improved flow, dosage control and stomach tolerance due to the controlled release of metal within the digestive system.

The binding of free iron ions is crucial to protect cell components from uncontrolled oxidation LACTOFERIN (LF) is a multifunctional protein in the transferin family

Component of the immune system
Involved in the transport of iron
Adjusts iron absorption
Controls levels of free iron

In healthy individuals, almost all iron released into plasma is associated with transferrin, limiting the production of iron-catalyzed free radicals and facilitating transfer to target cells.
Iron can be stored intracellularly as ferritin, a spherical heteropolymer capable of storing more than 4,000 iron atoms.

However, the role of iron is two-way, on the one hand it keeps us alive and on the other hand it can cause harmful effects. For this reason, organisations have developed complex mechanisms to ensure that their levels are constantly checked. The binding of free iron ions is crucial to protect cell components from uncontrolled oxidation. There are several substances that carry this role. Another protein, similar to transferrin, is lactoferin, which is found in LACTOFER Iron Formula, and is found in milk and certain other normal liquids. It is also released from phagocytes after their stimulating, possibly to counteract the diffusion of the harmful effect of active forms of oxygen on nearby healthy tissue fragments. Like transferrin, it has the ability to bind two fe3+atoms per protein molecule.
Lactoferin plays a key role in a number of first-line defense mechanisms and contributes to a variety of physiological responses at both cell and organ level. Lactoferin plays a key role in immune homeostasis and works to reduce oxidative stress at the molecular level, thus controlling excessive inflammatory responses.
