Re: Lactoferrian vs apolactoferrian

[Guest guest]

Apolactoferrin is the iron depleted form of it. This is what has shown effective

antipathogenic activity against many pathogens. Candida can feed on Iron like

bacterias do. Most Lactoferrin supplements don't say anything about it. I

emailed Jarrow Formulas asking if their Lactoferrin is the Apo version and got

an answer confirming it. Lactoferrin binds to Iron in the gut and transports it

to the bloodstream. I think there is only one product labels as a

Apo-Lactoferrin from Life Extension.

Sorry,

I forgot to tell you that Apo-Lactoferrin lower the Iron Levels and Lactoferrin

rises it.

So, taking iron pills is not a good idea? My dr wants me to because my iron

levels are a little low.... i never realized iron could increase candida

,

If you need Iron, you should take it. Lentils, Spinach, Liver are good source of

it. Bacterial Biofilms use Iron to create their Matrix, so it is better to avoid

it if you don't need it.

Margaret,

You should email the Lab which makes the Lactoferrin you are taking to know if

it is Apo-Lactoferrin or not. Some times they label the product as Lactoferrin

when in fact is Apo-Lactoferrin. This is the case of Jarrow Formulas. Its

Lactoferrin is Apo- Lactoferrin but it isn't labeled that way. If you are low in

Iron take Lactoferrin, no Apolactoferrin. I hope this helps you.

thanks , I've emailed Symbiotic's about the apo, hopefully they will

reply although it's been few days....One more question please, what kind of

Laktoferrin are you taking that isn't APO, just so I can have a reference

in case I don't get answer from Symbiotic's and want to buy.....??

Margaret,

Unfortunately, what I am taking is Apo-Lactoferrin from Jarrow Formulas because

what I am looking for is antifungal effects, and the Apo-version is better for

it. To rise the Iron levels and also get some anti-pathogenic effects, you

should take any which be Lactoferrin with Iron. Remember, Apo means the iron

depleted form.

,

My doctor said I am somewhat low on iron, have major fatigue, and have

thyroid trouble, so he wants me to take iron pills. I'm afraid this is going to

make the candida worse - would you suggest taking lactoferrin with the

iron pills?

Thanks,

I think you shouldn't take Apo- Lactoferrin but Lactoferrin.

thanks again ----I'm really having a challenge with this supplement

because I love taking Laktoferrin and colostrum--haven't been sick, feeling

GREAT since I started taking them..........However---the problem area is my

thyroid and low iron, which inhibits thyroid med absorption...long story

about how I screwed up with thyroid--stopped on my own, big mistake!

the part that is the challenge is supplements which deplete the iron I'm

trying to build---iron binding I think they call it.........I need the iron

for my thyroid meds to work best--that's another subject altogether, but I

know this........

I wrote Symbiotic's about apo Laktoferrin, but no reply yet---have been

taking Nutricology Laktoferrin but going to stop that and switch to just the

colostrum I've been taking, Symbiotic's Colostrum Plus.....

Since you mentioned taking Laktoferrin w/iron, do you know of a

brand......??

regular lactoferrin? i bought this one:

_http://www.jarrow.com/product.php?prodid=231_

(http://www.jarrow.com/product.php?prodid=231)

one..but i need to be sure...since im already a little low on iron
