Lactoferrin: Bioferrin®
Lactoferrin by Glanbia Nutritionals, produced through a patented extraction process, is the most bioavailable lactoferrin currently on the market. Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein linked to the iron naturally present in milk, excellent for antibodies, fortifying iron, and carrying oxygen, and it helps iron to become soluble for food, beverage and nutraceuticals. It features 95% total protein and between 15 and 40 mg of iron in 100g. Bioferrin® can be used in capsules, tablets and ready-mix applications. It is a safe alternative to medication that improves performance by increasing hemoglobin levels in the blood, allowing for formulation with lower doses of iron and fewer know collateral effects, such as digestive discomfort. Protesa is the only supplier of this product in Brazil.

Caseinate obtained by neutralizing an acid casein with calcium chloride (casein is prepared through indirect precipitation using the acid from collected skimmed milk). The neutralization reaction occurs through a specific technology called extrusion. Dry ingredient, white to cream in color. Due to its water retention power and emulsifying properties (capacity and stability), it is used in different food sectors, such as dietary and airy, and it is suited to vegetarian foods, people with Coeliac disease and the Jewish and Muslim communities.
IdaPro Milk Protein Concentrate-80% (MPC-80)
Manufactured using fresh and pasteurized skimmed milk, through a proven low-heat membrane filtration method to guarantee the protein is not rendered and remains highly nutritional, reaching 80%. Following separation using the membrane, IdaPro MPC-80 is immediately spray-dried and packed without long-term storage or processing, prior to packaging.
It is highly soluble and offers an excellent emulsification capacity, with a pleasant flavor and aroma.
