What is the difference between lactoferrin protein powder and protein powder?
1: Differences in definition

Lactoferrin protein powder: Protein powder containing lactoferrin. Lactoferrin is an important non-heme iron-binding glycoprotein in milk, with a molecular weight of 70 ~ 80 kDa. It consists of a polypeptide single chain and 2 ~ 4 polysaccharide side chains, which are mainly expressed and secreted by mammary epithelial cells. 196 1 year, Blanc and Isliker officially named this protein isolated from human milk as lactoferrin.

Protein powder: Generally, it is a powder rich in protein, and is made of purified soybean protein, casein, whey protein (lacking isoleucine), pea protein, or the combination of the above protein. Its purpose is to supplement protein for people who lack protein, and it can also be used as a functional additive in food industry.

2. Differences in nutritional value:

Lactoferrin protein powder: Lactoferrin participates in iron metabolism and promotes iron absorption. Has antibacterial, antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-infective, antitumor and antioxidant effects. With the study on the effect of lactoferrin on osteoblasts, it is found that lactoferrin can promote the proliferation and differentiation of primitive osteoblasts at physiological concentration, and also reduce the apoptosis of osteoblasts.

Protein powder: it participates in the composition and metabolism of the body and can be digested, absorbed and utilized by the human body to varying degrees. In fact, healthy people don't need to eat protein powder.

3. Differences in use

Lactoferrin is a safe and reliable natural substance extracted from milk, and its application in food has been recognized by many countries and regions. With the elucidation of the action mechanism of lactoferrin and the expansion of its development and application, lactoferrin has broad application prospects in disease prevention, nutritional supplement, food and drug preservation, cosmetics and so on.

Protein powder: Protein powder is a nutritional supplement for a specific group of people. As an amino acid supplement food, it can provide essential nutrition for infants, the elderly, sports people, patients before and after operation and people who lose weight due to lack of protein. Poor appetite or poor digestive function may lead to insufficient intake of protein, so high-quality protein powder is a good supplement.

Therefore, from the above, the value of lactoferrin protein powder is higher and it has the function of enhancing resistance.
