Lactoferrin for iron deficiency

Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in the milk of mammals such as humans therefore it can help with iron deficiency.

 

 

 

If you are constantly tired or short of breath after a little exercise, you probably have an iron deficiency. SIBO, or a parasitic infection, almost always causes iron deficiency.

If you are iron deficient, you should take LACTOFERRIN along with iron-rich foods to utilize the iron instead of just letting it circulate in your blood and cause oxidative stress.

Symptoms of iron deficiency

  • fatigue
  • weakness
  • headache
  • dizziness
  • pallor
  • hair loss
  • palpitations
  • throat tightness
  • swallowing disorders
  • reduction of load capacity

Lactoferrin has been found to exert physiological effects such as antimicrobial and antiviral activity, modulation of cell growth, and immunomodulatory effects. It was also found that the iron binding capacity of LF is about 300 times greater than that of transferrin. (9) It has been confirmed that LF regulates iron absorption.10-13) Recently, oral lactoferrin has been reported to increase serum hemoglobin and total iron in pregnant women.

Anemia is commonly observed in athletes, especially endurance athletes, and is referred to as sports anemia or in children or pregnant women. In particular, long-distance runners who menstruate and strictly control their weight can easily develop sports anemia.

LF significantly improved the hematological parameters. Our results suggest that it might be useful to take not only iron but also LF (an iron-binding protein) for the prevention of iron deficiency anemia.

If ferrous salts are circulating in the blood because the body cannot utilize them, then they are causing severe oxidative stress. Lactoferrin helps to bind and utilize serum iron, therefore also preventing oxidation.

In addition to Lactoferrin, you should do the following to increase your iron levels and improve your iron deficiency:

  • Eat foods rich in iron
    Meat and eggs
    Beetroot
    leafy greens
    Sesame
    Spinach
    Sweet potatoes
    Pea
    Broccoli
    Green beans
    Turnips
    Cereals
    Strawberry
    Watermelon
    Raisins
    Dates
    figures
    Prunes
    Sesame
  • Introducing Huminiqum
  • Screening for digestive system inflammations
  • Virus removal
  • Identification of drugs that inhibit iron absorption
