5. Lactoferrin-Infused Coffee Espresso Shots
Lactoferrin-infused coffee combines the rich, robust flavor of artisanal coffee with the amazing benefits of lactoferrin. Lactoferrin is known for its iron-regulating, immune-supporting, and gut health benefits. Lactoferrin and coffee have a symbiotic relationship; while caffeine is known to reduce zinc and iron absorption from the diet, lactoferrin can combat this effect and ensure access to dietary micronutrients.
