Lactoferrin

Better nutrition
for people everywhere

We develop innovative ingredients

Lactoferrin

is a naturally occurring iron-binding protein found in milk that is known for its anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and immunological properties.

Lactoferrin plays a vital role in the body’s immune system by contributing to the innate defense and modulating immune responses.

It can provide protection during respiratory or digestive tract infections.

The powerful health benefits of lactoferrin have been the focus of extensive scientific research for over 50 years. As a result, it is one of the best studied and known proteins and is Generally recognized as safe by FDA (GRAS notice no. 669).

Lactoferrin supplementation is designed to strengthen your immune system and promote healthy digestion. If you're looking for an effective way to ward off colds and infections, lactoferrin is a natural choice. And for those who require extra iron, such as pregnant women or individuals with anemia, our lactoferrin supplement is a superior option to traditional iron supplements.

Technology

How it works

SMF Health is an operating company of SMF Maschinenfabrik.

With a focus on quality and innovation, SMF Health produces and supplies top-tier ingredients sourced from whey and milk. Our ingredients are widely used in the manufacturing of infant nutrition and food supplements, providing essential nutrients to individuals and clients across the world.

Our products are held to the highest standards of quality and purity. We use gold-standard methods like high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and electrophoresis to verify the purity of our proteins. And to ensure the stability of our products, we evaluate them using independent, robust methods like differential scanning fluorimetry.

For the extraction of the lactoferrin and other proteins from milk and whey, we are using innovative, state-of-the-art flow columns based on ion-exchange chromatography principle.

Due to the wise choice of separative techniques proteins provided by SMF Health are pure, stable, and active.

Active compounds

Milk is very important source of natural bioactive compounds, which may play key role in the nutrition and prevention of diseases.

The possibilities for milk-derived proteins are almost endless, with bioactive proteins such as lactoferrin, lysozyme, immunoglobulin A, lactoperoxidase, lactalbumin, various casein fractions, and more...

The powerful synergy between lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase has been used in a variety of applications, including products that support immune function and promote oral health.

SMF Health isolates and further purify milk-derivated proteins to obtain their pure form or their bioactive mixtures. Our product contains a blend of proteins with similar properties but operating through different mechanisms, resulting in a synergistic effect that provides significant benefits.
