Cadence Performance Coffee—the human performance optimization company creating advanced nutrition products to meet the needs of athletes, astronauts, military units and more—is commercializing a functional espresso shot made with Turtletree’s LF+, the world’s first animal-free Lactoferrin, to enhance the performance of endurance athletes.
More than 60% of the world’s global Lactoferrin supply is used for infants, and TurtleTree’s LF+ tackles the challenge of scaling the production of Lactoferrin via precision fermentation. “With this partnership in place we are validating that there is a need for Lactoferrin to be more accessible within the global supply chain for audiences other than infants and that we as an organization now have the means to begin filling those gaps,” said TurtleTree CEO Fengru Lin.
