Jarrow Formulas® Lactoferrin (Apolactoferrin) is an important immune supporting glycoprotein that is found in breast milk.* Digestion of lactoferrin by gastric pepsin liberates the immune supporting peptide lactoferricin B.* One of the biological activities of lactoferrin comes from its powerful ability to facilitate iron absorption.* Our lactoferrin is freeze dried to better preserve its delicate structure.

Benefits that get better with time
STEP - 1
Your body starts absorbing and utilizing active ingredients. A consistent daily intake allows nutrient levels to build toward effective concentrations.
STEP - 2
With steady levels established, the formula starts working with your body's natural processes. This is where quality ingredients and clinically relevant doses begin to show.
STEP - 3
Compounding benefits take hold. Sustained, balanced support builds over time, and many customers report this is when they start to feel a noticeable difference.
About Lactoferrin
How it works
Lactoferrin is a multifunctional glycoprotein found naturally in breast milk and other secretions, where it plays a frontline role in healthy immune defense.* Jarrow Formulas uses apolactoferrin, the low-iron form, freeze-dried rather than spray-dried to preserve the protein's delicate three-dimensional structure and biological activity. During digestion, lactoferrin releases lactoferricin B, a bioactive peptide that contributes to its immune-supporting properties, and its strong iron-binding capacity helps the body absorb and manage iron.*
Who it's for
Adults supporting daily immune resilience, and those pairing it with iron regimens for absorption support.* A useful daily addition during seasons of higher immune demand.*
Frequently Asked Questions
Lactoferrin is an immune-supporting glycoprotein naturally found in breast milk.* Jarrow Formulas Lactoferrin (apolactoferrin) supports healthy immune function and helps facilitate iron absorption.* When digested, it releases lactoferricin B, a peptide that contributes to its immune-supporting properties.*
Adults, take 1 capsule once a day with food or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional.
It uses apolactoferrin, the low-iron form of lactoferrin, and is freeze-dried to better preserve the protein's delicate structure and biological activity, rather than spray-dried like many alternatives.
Yes, one of lactoferrin's notable biological activities is its powerful ability to bind and facilitate the absorption of iron.* It is often taken alongside iron-containing regimens; consult your healthcare provider about your individual needs.
Lactoferrin is a protein derived from milk, so it is not dairy-free. Individuals with a milk allergy should consult their healthcare provider before use. It is gluten-free and non-GMO.

Why Jarrow Formulas
Science first, since 1977. For nearly five decades, Jarrow Formulas has formulated supplements around published science: the clinically studied ingredient forms, at the doses research actually used.
- Clinically studied ingredients. We use the specific branded forms found in published human research: GR-1 and RC-14 probiotic strains, Cognizin citicoline, StimuCal MCHA calcium, Kaneka ubiquinol, and more.*
- Bioavailable active forms. Your body shouldn't have to convert what it can absorb directly. That's why we use methylated B12 and folate instead of synthetic forms, and ubiquinol instead of standard Co-Q10 along with enhanced-absorption delivery systems.*
- Purity you can verify. Non-GMO ingredients, gluten-free and vegan options across the line, and quality controls like citrinin-avoidance fermentation and freeze-dried protein processing.
- Formulated to matter. Clinically relevant doses, strain-level identification on probiotics, and supplement facts that say exactly what is inside.
