AOR Lactoferrin-250, 250mg, 60 Vegi-Capsules

AOR Lactoferrin-250 Details

AOR Lactoferrin-250 delivers 250 mg of pure lactoferrin per capsule — a multifunctional protein naturally found in mammalian milk and key bodily secretions. Lactoferrin is most-researched for its roles in immune support, iron metabolism, gut microbiome support, and inflammatory response modulation. It works differently from most immune supplements: rather than activating immune response, lactoferrin binds free iron in the body, making it less available to harmful bacteria while supporting healthy iron absorption. Made in Canada by AOR. 60 vegetable-capsules.

Quick Facts

Who AOR Lactoferrin-250 Is For

• Adults wanting immune support that works through a different mechanism than vitamin C, zinc, or elderberry
• People with low ferritin or iron metabolism concerns whose practitioner has recommended lactoferrin
• Adults focused on gut microbiome health — lactoferrin supports beneficial bacteria while limiting harmful ones
• Women with iron concerns who can't tolerate iron supplements but want iron-metabolism support
• Anyone interested in a multifunctional immune-and-iron support protein with research backing
• People wanting AOR's practitioner-tier quality in the lactoferrin category

Who this product is NOT for: If you have a milk protein allergy, do NOT use lactoferrin — it's a dairy-derived protein and can trigger allergic reactions. If you have hemochromatosis (iron overload) or take iron-modifying medications, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. If you mainly want general immune support, vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D have more accessible cost and established research. If you have a severe iron deficiency requiring treatment, lactoferrin supports iron metabolism but is not a substitute for prescribed iron treatment — work with your practitioner. If you're vegan or strictly avoid dairy products, lactoferrin is dairy-derived and isn't appropriate.

Vitamart's Take

AOR Lactoferrin-250 is a lactoferrin supplement designed to support immune health and healthy iron metabolism. Lactoferrin is a unique ingredient that offers a different approach from more traditional immune-support supplements. A quality formula from AOR, a trusted Canadian brand known for its science-based approach to formulation.

How AOR Lactoferrin Compares

Lactoferrin vs Standard Iron Supplements

Lactoferrin (this product): Supports iron metabolism without adding elemental iron. Gentler on digestion than iron tablets.
Standard Iron Supplements: Direct iron supplementation. Higher per-capsule dose. A fit for diagnosed iron deficiency requiring elemental iron repletion. Often combined with lactoferrin in practitioner protocols.

Lactoferrin vs Vitamin C + Zinc Stack

Lactoferrin (this product): Multifunctional protein with iron-binding and gut microbiome effects. Targeted use.
Vitamin C + Zinc Stack: Established daily immune support. Lower cost. More research backing for general immune wellness. A fit for everyday daily immune routines.

Lactoferrin vs Colostrum

Lactoferrin (this product): Pure isolated lactoferrin at a defined dose.
Colostrum: Contains lactoferrin alongside immunoglobulins, growth factors, and other compounds. A fit if you want broader colostrum benefits in addition to lactoferrin.

What Is Lactoferrin?

Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein found in mammalian milk, tears, saliva, and other bodily fluids. Here's what's worth knowing:

• Multifunctional protein: Lactoferrin has multiple roles — iron binding, antimicrobial activity, immune support, and gut microbiome modulation. Few supplements have this breadth of function in one molecule.
• How it works with iron: Lactoferrin binds free iron in the gut and bloodstream. This serves two purposes: (1) limiting iron availability to harmful bacteria that need iron to multiply, and (2) supporting controlled iron absorption for human cells and beneficial bacteria.
• Gut microbiome support: By controlling iron availability, lactoferrin selectively limits harmful bacteria while supporting beneficial bacteria that don't depend on free iron the same way.
• Immune support: Lactoferrin is part of the innate immune system — your first line of defense. Supplemental lactoferrin may support these defenses, particularly for adults with compromised immune status.
• Source: Commercial lactoferrin is typically isolated from cow's milk (bovine lactoferrin). It's a dairy-derived protein — not suitable for milk-allergic individuals or vegans.
• Best on empty stomach: Lactoferrin is a protein that can be partially broken down by digestion. Empty-stomach dosing allows more intact lactoferrin to reach the gut and be absorbed.

How To Use

Adults: Take 1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Empty-stomach timing (30 minutes before meals or 2 hours after) supports better absorption of intact lactoferrin. Talk to a healthcare practitioner if you're working with a specific protocol that requires different dosing.

Talk to a healthcare practitioner before use if you have a milk protein allergy (do not use), hemochromatosis (iron overload), take iron-modifying medications, or have a chronic medical condition. Most adults tolerate lactoferrin well. Discontinue if you experience signs of allergic reaction.
