Lactoferrin, Vitamin C & Zinc

Lactoferrin is a protein found in milk, so lactoferrin supplements are usually made from milk. Milk, including lactose, is one of the allergens that must be emphasised in the ingredient list, so check the list and any allergen statement on the exact product.

The percentage compares the amount in a serving with the NRV: 80 mg for vitamin C and 10 mg for zinc. For example, 1,000 mg of vitamin C is 1,250 % of the NRV and 10 mg of zinc is 100 %. The percentage refers to the whole serving printed on the label, which can be more than one capsule.

Liposomal means the vitamin C is enclosed in liposomes, tiny spheres of phospholipids, which the ingredient list names; the vitamin C is still declared in milligrams per serving. A postbiotic product contains inactivated microorganisms or their components, not live cultures, so its label names the ingredient and its amount instead of a live count in CFU.
