Performance Recovery
Fights the Inflammation that Inhibits Performance
It’s not just how hard you train…
More and more, recovery is becoming a determining factor in the nutrition choices of both serious athletes and those who exercise recreationally.
Lactoferrin is a powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient, making it ideal for performance recovery.
But until now, lactoferrin has been too rare and expensive to be viable for brands. Vivitein™ LF changes that.
The inflammation fighter
Vivitein™ LF addresses an issue that other post-workout products miss.
Repeated exercise can cause chronic low-grade inflammation, slowing recovery and inhibiting performance.
Vivitein™ LF helps to manage the body’s inflammatory response. This means that the body can recover quicker, reducing the risk of fatigue-related injury and improving overall performance to keep athletes at the top of their game.

Making lactoferrin a commercial reality
There’s a reason why lactoferrin is called Pink Gold. When produced traditionally, it’s hard to extract, rare and expensive.
Because it’s created through the process of precision fermentation, Vivitein™ LF can be reliably produced in commercial quantities that used to be prohibitively difficult to achieve.
That’s why Vivitein™ LF makes lactoferrin accessible to health and wellness brands like never before.
The time for lactoferrin has come. So, power your product innovation and unlock untapped commercial potential with Vivitein™ LF.

Insights
Lactoferrin vs ferrous sulfate: what the clinical record actually shows
The World Health Organization has described iron deficiency as the most common and widespread nutritional disorder worldwide (PubMed, Iron Deficiency Anaemia, 2021). For food and supplement companies in health and wellness, a market that size is worth serving well. Which iron ingredient you build a product around determines how well it works, how long people stay on it, and whether it delivers what the label promises.
What is Lactoferrin? Discover Vivitein™ LF for Your Next Innovation
For decades, lactoferrin has been studied for its role in human biology. Only recently has it become accessible for broader product innovation. Naturally present in milk and part of the body’s innate defense system, lactoferrin is a bioactive protein known for its ability to bind iron, help shape the balance of gut microbial populations, reinforce the gut barrier lining, and calm inflammation as part of modulating the body's immune responses. These functions underpin its potential across areas such as iron regulation, gut health, immune support, and active nutrition, categories where demand for targeted, evidence-based ingredients continues to grow. Despite this strong scientific foundation, lactoferrin has remained a niche ingredient. Limited availability, high cost, and reliance on dairy extraction have historically restricted its use to specialized applications such as infant nutrition. That constraint is now changing. Advances in precision fermentation are enabling the production of lactoferrin at scale, with consistent quality and price, and without dependence on traditional dairy supply chains. This shifts lactoferrin from a constrained bioactive to a viable ingredient for broader formulation. With Vivitein™ LF, Vivici introduces its precision fermentation-derived lactoferrin ingredient, available at scale for health and wellness brands for the first time.
