Specialty Proteins
Tatua’s specialty protein isolates are extracted from fresh, pasteurised New Zealand bovine milk using an ion exchange chromatography process.
We manufacture highly purified bioactive proteins with specific biological functions, using a freeze-drying process to retain product functionality. Tatua’s specialty proteins can be used to support bioactive functions in beverages, ready to mix powders, and health supplements.

Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding globular glycoprotein naturally occurring in mammalian milk. It is widely recognised as having the potential to provide antibacterial, antiviral & immunomodulatory support for infants and adults(1)(2).
| Product | Protein (DB)† | Lactoferrin (% of Protein) | Features / Benefits |
| 90% Lactoferrin | >98% | >90% |
|
| 95% Lactoferrin | >98% | >95%^ |
|
Benefits of Tatua Lactoferrin include:
- Antimicrobial, antiviral and immunomodulatory benefits
- High-quality and functionality
- Freeze-dried to retain native structure and functionality
- Made from fresh New Zealand milk
- Sourced from a safe, proven and reliable milk supply
- Halal and kosher certified
Lactoperoxidase
Tatua Lactoperoxidase is a freeze-dried powdered enzyme extracted from fresh, premium quality New Zealand cow’s milk.
Lactoperoxidase is a peroxidase enzyme secreted from mammary glands, that has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial (3) and antiviral agent (4).
| Product | Protein (DB)† | LPO Activity | Features / Benefits |
| Lactoperoxidase | >90% | >110U/mg |
|
Co-isolate
Tatua Co-isolate is a Lactoferrin and Lactoperoxidase blend.
Lactoferrin is a globular glycoprotein commonly found in mammalian milk. Lactoperoxidase is a peroxidase enzyme secreted from mammary glands. It has been shown that both lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase have antimicrobial (4) and antiviral (5) properties.
| Product | Protein (DB)† | Lactoferrin (% of Protein) | LPO (% of Protein) | Features / Benefits |
| Co-isolate | >90% | >40% | >18% |
