I do absorb the iron into my blood..so intestine uptake fine, especially for ferrous gluconate..gee maybe I need the ferric form..this is beyond me!
but then again from your link"This enables the use of lactoferrin for the prevention of such iron-catalyzed processes as the generation of free (hydroxyl) radicals and lipid peroxydation [5-7].
The iron-binding capacity of lactoferrin is dependent upon the presence of (small amounts) of bicarbonate. Depending on the bicarbonate concentration, high concentrations of citrate can counteract the iron-binding efficiency of lactoferrin."
maybe this lactoferrin would prevent the peroxydation once absorbed? ..or is it peroxydised as it gets absorbed??
I do drink milk, yoghurt, cheese, better, cream, lots of meat..like steak (for bovine lactoferrin) I presume??)..so I would have though I'd have heaps?
Thanks for helping, Jan
