Vivici Introduces Precision-Fermented Lactoferrin
Dutch ingredients company Vivici has launched Vivitein™ LF in the U.S. market, introducing a precision-fermented lactoferrin ingredient designed to overcome traditional supply and cost limitations.
Lactoferrin, a whey protein often referred to as “pink gold,” has historically been difficult to scale due to its low natural abundance in milk. Vivici stated that Vivitein™ LF addresses these constraints by using precision fermentation to produce high-purity lactoferrin suitable for commercial application.
The ingredient is positioned for use in health and wellness products, particularly those focused on gut health, performance recovery, and sustained vitality.
