More Information

NZMP lactoferrin is isolated from Dairy milk. It is highly valued because it takes 10,000L to produce just 1 kilogram of lactoferrin.

We draw out lactoferrin from milk using gentle technology and processes, to ensure that it retains bioactivity, and therefore its naturally occurring health properties.

Lactoferrin or 'Pink Gold' is a scarce and valuable ingredient, naturally found in dairy milk

As a bioactive ingredient, Lactoferrin can influence biological processes in the human body to provide potential health benefits.

It is only found in milk at concentrations of 200-600 milligrams. This means 10,000 litres of milk is needed to make just one kilogram of Lactoferrin - this makes the ingredient extremely scarce!
