Lactoferrin 200

Lactoferrin 200, from Vitobest®, combines two key ingredients when it comes to taking care of defenses and overall well-being: lactoferrin, a protein naturally present in the body, and vitamin D3, essential for the proper functioning of the immune system.

Lactoferrin is part of the body's natural defenses and helps maintain internal balance. It is naturally present in breast milk and other body fluids, and is increasingly used when looking to reinforce defenses, accompany the body in times of higher demand or care for long-term health^1,2.

Each capsule provides 200 mg of lactoferrin, a high amount designed to offer real support when the body needs it, such as in times of greater wear, during seasonal changes or when you want to maintain a good general state of health¹.

The formula is completed with vitamin D3, a nutrient well known for its role in defenses. Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and also helps care for muscles and bones³.

The combination of lactoferrin and vitamin D3 has a clear sense: while lactoferrin supports natural defenses and internal balance, vitamin D3 directly strengthens the immune system. Together they form a complete formula to take care of the body globally^1-3.

Vitobest® uses for this supplement vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegetarians and free of titanium dioxide.
