Description of Ferritin

Ferritin is a naturally occurring mammalian iron storage protein. Ferritin is the main iron storage protein and is predominant in the liver, spleen and bone marrow.

NZP produces two types of ferritin, bovine and equine. Equine has a higher iron content compared to bovine ferritin.

Use of Ferritin
