Lactoferrin and Sports
Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein naturally present in our body and acts as a potent regulator of several metabolic pathways. Lactoferrin covalently binds to and transports several bio-metals in our body such as -
- Iron (Fe) is critical for hemoglobin-mediated oxygen transport and cytochrome-mediated ATP synthesis
- Cobalt (Co) is required for B12-dependant energy generation
- Zinc (Zn) is a co-factor for many anabolic pathways (i.e. protein synthesis)
- Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn) are essential for antioxidant enzymes (i.e. superoxide dismutases (SOD), Cu-SOD & Mn-SOD; peroxidases)
- Chromium (Cr) is required for glucose metabolism
Physiological turnover of lactoferrin in normal healthy body is 60 mg/day. However, lactoferrin levels rapidly deplete in the body during increased metabolic states such as physical exercise and sport; therefore, bio-replenishment with lactoferrin is vital to restore and optimize the body physiology.

"Since taking Lactoferrin Gold 1.8®, I noticed an improvement in my performance and exercise recovery. During active competitions, my physical endurance has remarkably enhanced with lactoferrin supplement. Also, the wear-n-tear was negligible, and the following day long slow run became much easier. My energy levels gradually went up and metabolic rate turned optimal with lactoferrin intake. At the age of 52, for me this is quite impressive!"

After taking Lactoferrin Gold 1.8®, my hematocrit measurements significantly improved, and my hemoglobin levels had gone up from low 8.9 g/dL to normal 12.8 g/dL within 5 weeks! Now my body feels very good and I strongly believe that Lactoferrin Gold 1.8® helped my body to achieve this optimum mineral balance."
