What it is

What is Human Bioidentical Lactoferrin with Aloe Vera?

Lactoferrin is a protein found naturally in human milk and colostrum, and in smaller amounts in other bodily fluids. This product pairs a bioidentical — that is, human-identical — lactoferrin with Desert Harvest's aloe vera.

La lactoferrina se produce mediante fermentación de precisión en lugar de extraerse de la leche de vaca, por lo que es de origen no lácteo y no animal. Es el ingrediente conocido como effera, desarrollado por Helaina, y comparte la misma estructura proteica que se encuentra en la leche humana. Estas son descripciones de lo que es el ingrediente, no afirmaciones de salud.

Bioidentical (human-identical) lactoferrin is a novel food under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. This means it must complete a European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) safety assessment and gain EU authorisation before it may be sold in the European Union. That process is under way; until it concludes, this product is not available to buy in the EU. Lactoferrin from cow's milk is already an authorised novel food in the EU, but this human-identical version follows its own separate authorisation route.

Desert Harvest, the United States parent brand, has specialised in aloe vera since 1993; the European range is distributed by Bivio Medical B.V. in the Netherlands. We make no health or nutrition claims about this product.

Questions people ask

Human bioidentical lactoferrin: common questions

What is human bioidentical lactoferrin?
La lactoferrina es una proteína que se encuentra de forma natural en la leche humana y el calostro. "Bioidéntica", o idéntica a la humana, significa que comparte la misma estructura que la lactoferrina de la leche humana. Esta versión se produce mediante fermentación de precisión en lugar de provenir de la leche de vaca, por lo que es de origen no animal y libre de lácteos. Esta es una descripción de lo que es el ingrediente, no una afirmación de salud.
When will it be available in Europe?
We cannot confirm a date. As a novel food under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, it must first complete an EFSA safety assessment and gain EU authorisation. Industry estimates point to around 2027*, but this is an estimate only and depends on the regulatory process.
Can I buy it now?
Not yet. This product is not available to buy in the European Union while its novel-food authorisation is pending. You can register your interest above and we will let you know when that changes.
