Vitals Lactoferrin-BT
Vitals Lactoferrin-BT
Vitals' Lactoferrin-BT contains Biotis® Lactoferrin from FrieslandCampina Ingredients. FrieslandCampina is a well-known Dutch dairy cooperative, but far fewer people know that FrieslandCampina Ingredients produces specific ingredients from milk for infant nutrition, sports nutrition, and adult health products, and that they are also the global pioneer and expert in lactoferrin. It's amazing what a small country can achieve! Lactoferrin is naturally present in breast milk, among other things, and is considered one of the most valuable proteins in milk. The challenge is to extract this delicate substance from the freshest possible cow's milk as gently as possible. Only then will it retain the optimal properties for which it is known. Vitals' Lactoferrin-BT contains a whopping 200 mg of the highest quality lactoferrin, packaged in a special enteric-coated capsule to ensure it arrives intact at its destination.
What is Lactoferrin?
Lactoferrin is a protein found in the whey proteins in milk and consists of a long chain of up to 700 amino acids. The richest natural source of lactoferrin is breast milk. It also occurs in smaller quantities in other bodily fluids such as saliva and tears. The second richest source is cow's milk, which is why it is commonly used as a raw material for manufacturing lactoferrin for use in nutritional supplements and for adding to infant formula. The name of this protein is derived from the words 'lac' (Latin for milk) and 'ferrum' (Latin for iron). The latter refers to lactoferrin's strong iron-binding capacity. Two forms exist in nature: hololactoferrin and apolactoferrin. Hololactoferrin refers to the form that is (partially) saturated with iron, while apolactoferrin contains the lowest possible amount of iron. This is the form primarily used in supplements.
Quality
Several aspects influence the quality of lactoferrin. By far the most important is the preservation of the molecule's spatial structure, which, after all, determines the properties and activity of proteins in general. Under certain conditions (such as high temperature or low pH), a process called denaturation can occur, in which the protein molecule loses its spatial structure and loses its properties. Protein denaturation is irreversible; therefore, it is crucial to handle this valuable substance as gently as possible during lactoferrin production. Laboratory analysis can demonstrate the preservation of the spatial structure, and comparative research has shown that not all lactoferrins on the market perform equally well in this regard. Sometimes this is because the lactoferrin is not extracted from fresh milk, but from whey that has already undergone several processing steps, during which denaturation may have occurred. Biotis® Lactoferrin in Vitals Lactoferrin-BT is made from fresh cow's milk using a highly refined and gentle production process, guaranteeing that this valuable protein retains its natural properties. Because lactoferrin is also sensitive to low pH, Vitals uses a special capsule for this product that does not dissolve in the acidic environment of the stomach, but only opens in the small intestine.
Another important point is the purity of the lactoferrin. This should be at least 95%. Naturally, lactoferrin should also be as low as possible in contaminants such as heavy metals and dioxins. A specific criterion often cited in the context of the quality of a lactoferrin product is the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content. LPS are components of the outer membrane of certain bacterial species. Contrary to popular belief, the possible presence of LPS is not specific to lactoferrin products, but is found in many foods. Several normally present and harmless bacterial species in our intestines also produce these substances. The LPS content in a lactoferrin supplement should therefore primarily be seen as a measure of the presence of (dead) bacteria. It is an indicator of the freshness of the cow's milk used as a lactoferrin source. The less fresh the milk, the more bacterial growth or dead bacteria are found in it. The cow's milk used for Vitals' Lactoferrin-BT is processed within 24 hours of arrival at the production site. The production process itself is carried out under strict hygienic conditions and includes multiple quality controls. In short, Vitals' Lactoferrin-BT is highly pure and of exceptionally high quality, with very low levels of contaminants such as LPS. Furthermore, Lactoferrin-BT contains a maximum of 0.01% lactose (0.02 mg per capsule).
