Floradix Lactoferrin 100 mg Capsules, 30 count

What is Floradix® Lactoferrin?

Floradix® Lactoferrin are vegetable capsules that contain 100 mg of bovine lactoferrin from cow's milk per capsule.This is obtained and isolated from cow's milk under gentle conditions.Lactoferrin is a largely digestion-stable protein that occurs in human and animal secretions and in breast milk.It is an immunologically relevant iron-binding glycoprotein and belongs to the class of transferrins.On the one hand, lactoferrin contains iron as a nutrient for pathogenic bacteria.On the other hand, lactoferrin modulates the iron transfer of dietary iron by both positively influencing the transfer from food into the organism and by making iron bound in the body (e.g. in the intestinal wall) available.In this way, lactoferrin also supports iron availability, which is often limited in inflammatory processes.

Lactoferrin improves the utilization of iron available in the body and improves its absorption - tasteless and without undesirable effects.Lactoferrin has a beneficial effect on iron metabolism.Especially in inflammatory diseases, iron metabolism is often blocked to such an extent that iron transfer into the blood is inhibited.Floradix® Lactoferrin is suitable for long-term use for the dietary management of iron deficiency anemia, provided that iron intake is normal from food or medication.

Iron deficiency anemia

In people with a previous iron deficiency and the resulting altered blood formation with a reduced hemoglobin value (Hb value) and ferritin stores, the clinical picture of iron deficiency anemia can occur.This is accompanied by a reduced oxygen supply to the cells, tissues and organs, including the brain.This can also affect the development of the embryo in the last trimester of pregnancy.Red blood cells can only transport oxygen from the lungs using the red blood pigment hemoglobin with the central atom iron.

Iron therapy with drugs is used when insufficient iron is absorbed or available from food to meet iron requirements and, as a result, there is a drop in hemoglobin and iron deficiency anemia.The high-dose iron therapy that then begins eliminates the therapeutically relevant iron deficiency, but unfortunately can often cause stomach pain and constipation or lead to an aversion to the taste of iron.These may be reasons for early discontinuation of iron therapy.

With the protein lactoferrin from cow's milk, there is now a diet management option for iron deficiency anemia to improve the availability of iron to the body.Lactoferrin has an unremarkable taste and is free from gastrointestinal intolerances that may occur with iron.
