Precision-fermented bovine lactoferrin

Lactoferrin,
on spec, on time,
on your terms.

You select the application, we program the biology to match it.

01 / Purity 95% HPLC-verified on every batch.
02 / IP 6 Patents across expression and DSP.
03 / Sequence 100% Identical to native bovine lactoferrin. 
04 / Specifications 3 Apo, Native, Holo. Match the iron saturation to your application.
05 / Product Categories 6+ One supplier across your whole portfolio.

The lactoferrin supply problem
has a biological answer.

THE SITUATION TO DATE

Low levels of lactoferrin in bovine milk significantly reduce supply, impacting yield, quality, and consistency, and pushing prices well over $700/kg which excludes most products and brands from using it. 

HOW WE ARE CHANGING THE STATUS QUO

De Novo's host platform and patented DSP process enables the production of nature-identical, high and consistent quality/purity lactoferrin at lower costs and higher volumes, allowing for wider and deeper adoption across key product portfolios. 

Manifesto

You design the formulation. We program the biology to match it.

NanoFerrin™ is nature-identical bovine lactoferrin (bLf); the same protein sequence found in cow's milk, produced by precision fermentation instead of dairy extraction. The exact iron saturation, purity, and sequence identity you specified on every batch.

FIG. 02 — IRON SATURATION STATES
01 / APO

<10% iron.
Maximum scavenging.

Empty iron-binding pockets, with high affinity for iron and the ability to reduce microbial growth. Formulate prebiotic chews and gut-health blends without preservatives.

02 / NATIVE

10–15% iron.
Breast-milk equivalent.

The saturation profile that matches human breast milk on your COA. The infant formula category's gatekeeper spec, available without dairy supply risk.

03 / HOLO

>80% iron.
Bioavailable delivery.

Lactoferrin-bound iron is more soluble and is taken up by a different pathway than ferrous sulphate, reducing the GI side effects, enabling your customer to finish the bottle.
