Biotis^® Lactoferrin is used as an ingredient for food products, dietary supplements, oral care, sports nutrition, dairy products and functional foods.

Biotis^® Lactoferrin is a high-purity, natural, iron-binding protein isolated from fresh bovine milk. Studies have shown that lactoferrin can provide multiple immune health benefits in adults, including reducing the risk of both viral^1,2,3 and bacteriological^4,5,6,7 infections, and of iron deficiency^8,9,10 which can affect the body’s defenses. It can also support immune status.¹¹

Biotis^® Lactoferrin is manufactured under food-grade conditions in both the Netherlands and the U.S., and it is spray dried which makes it ideal for blending with other ingredients to deliver a homogenous, high-quality end product.
