The company is one of the world’s leading purified lactoferrin producers and made the investment following an increase in market demand, it claims.
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein that’s naturally present in cow’s milk and human milk and is used to boost biological processing. Meanwhile, clinical research has shown it also has anti-oxidant properties, as well as anti-inflammatory, gut and bone health properties.
For the past 10 years, lactoferrin use has risen and is now used in mainstream food and drink.
