Terry Naturally Lactoferrin With Propolis Extract EP300 Chewable Tablets

Q: I’m allergic to milk and other dairy products. Is this lactoferrin supplement okay for me to take if I’m lactose intolerant? A: Great question! Lactoferrin is a milk protein, so it does fall under the category of milk allergens. If you have lactose sensitivities, you should consult with your healthcare practitioners before use.

Q: What about honey or pollen? Should I take this supplement if I have an allergy to either of those things? A: You should be safe! Terry Naturally advises that, while they aren’t aware of any cross allergies for honey, and the product is filtered to remove beeswax, it is always best to check with your allergy specialist to be safe.

Q: Are there any side effects of lactoferrin? A: Lactoferrin is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild digestive discomfort. As with any supplement, it’s always best to consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

Q: What does lactoferrin do? A: Lactoferrin is a protein found in whey that supports the immune system, promotes healthy iron levels, and helps maintain a healthy bacterial balance in the gut.* It's also known for its role in respiratory health and immune support.*

Q: Can you take lactoferrin with iron supplements? A: Yes, lactoferrin helps balance iron levels and is safe to take alongside iron supplements. It supports healthy iron absorption and utilization without depleting your body’s iron stores.*

Q: Is lactoferrin safe to use daily? A: Yes, lactoferrin supplements are generally safe for daily use. However, if you are pregnant, nursing, or have specific health concerns, it’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

Q: What is the difference between propolis, royal jelly, and beeswax? A: Wow — love this question! The answer is a little complex, but the distilled version is: Propolis is made from resins that are gathered from trees and other plants. Bees collect it and then modifying it using their own enzymes as they process the material, mix it with beeswax, and make it into a protective glue and sealant. Bees use propolis to protect the hive. It contains many compounds that can support immune health.* Royal jelly is a nutrient-rich food made by honeybees to feed both larvae and queens. For larvae, it is only fed for a short time, while queens rely on this food for their entire lives. Royal jelly is considered to have health properties of its own for humans, because of its amino acid, vitamin, enzyme, and trace mineral content, but it is not the same thing as propolis. Beeswax is often confused with propolis, but it is not the same material. Beeswax is used to construct the cell walls of the hive, while propolis is used to seal the hive (it is sometimes called “bee glue”) and protects the hive from bacteria and other invaders. Because propolis is used, in part, to cement the hive together, it can be found combined with beeswax, but that material is filtered out from propolis when it is used as a supplement. Because Terry Naturally and The Healthy Place recognize that propolis is a precious resource, Propolis Extract EP300 is produced with a commitment to bee-friendly practices and healthy hives. It also uses a patented method to filter out inactive resins and beeswax, yielding a powerful and concentrated extract.
