Floradix ^® Lactoferrin 100 mg capsules are suitable for the dietary treatment of diagnosed iron deficiency anemia, also during pregnancy.

The protein lactoferrin is obtained from cow's milk in a special manufacturing process. Lactoferrin is also an immunological component of breast milk and is used in infant formula. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein that affects the transfer of iron from the intestinal wall into the blood.
The dietary treatment of iron deficiency anemia is thus carried out by administering a nutrient.

Floradix ^® Lactoferrin 100 mg capsules are also suitable as a dietary measure if you reject the taste of iron or if you have an intolerance to iron.

Dietary food for special medical purposes (balanced diet) People with a previous iron deficiency and the resulting changes in blood formation with a reduced hemoglobin value (Hb value) and ferritin stores can develop the clinical picture of iron deficiency anemia. This is accompanied by a reduced supply of oxygen to cells, tissues and organs, including the brain. This can also affect the development of the embryo in the last trimester of pregnancy. Because the red blood cells can only transport oxygen from the lungs using the red blood pigment hemoglobin with the central atom iron.

Drug iron therapy begins when insufficient dietary iron becomes available or ingested to meet iron requirements, resulting in decreased hemoglobin and iron deficiency anemia. The high-dose iron therapy that begins then eliminates the therapeutically relevant iron deficiency, but unfortunately it can often cause stomach pain and constipation or encounter a taste aversion to iron. These can be reasons for an early discontinuation
of iron therapy.

With the protein lactoferrin from cow's milk, there is now a dietary option available in iron deficiency anemia to improve the availability of iron for the body. Lactoferrin has an inconspicuous taste and is free from possible gastrointestinal intolerance caused by iron.

What is Floradix ^® Lactoferrin?
The product consists of vegetable capsules, each containing 100 mg of bovine lactoferrin from cow's milk. This is obtained from cow's milk and isolated under gentle conditions. Lactoferrin is a largely digestible protein found in human and animal secretions and breast milk. It is an immunologically relevant iron-binding glycoprotein and belongs to the class of transferrins. On the one hand, lactoferrin contains iron as a nutrient for disease-causing bacteria. On the other hand, lactoferrin modulates the iron transfer of dietary iron by positively influencing the transfer from food into the organism and by making iron bound in the body (e.g. in the intestinal wall) available. In this way, lactoferrin also supports iron availability,

Lactoferrin improves the utilization of iron available in the body and improves its absorption - tasteless and without undesirable effects. Lactoferrin thus has a beneficial effect on iron metabolism. In the case of inflammatory diseases in particular, the iron metabolism is often disadvantageously blocked in such a way that the transfer of iron into the blood is inhibited.
Floradix ^® Lactoferrin is suitable for long-term use in the dietary management of iron deficiency anemia, assuming normal dietary or medicinal iron intake.
