Can I mix this with water only?

Yes! While this mixes smoothly with water, we do recommend mixing with a beverage like coffee or a smoothie for the optimal daily experience.

Does this product contain dairy?

No! Our lactoferrin is animal-free and lactose-free and made via precision fermentation, however, while not derived from dairy milk, it does contain the same protein structure as milk allergens. This means it is lactose-free and vegan (not from animal milk), but it is not safe for those with milk protein allergies. Collagen+ Defense is not a vegan product because the collagen is from a bovine source. If you have a milk allergy (not just lactose intolerance), please consult your healthcare provider before consuming this product.

Can I take an iron supplement in addition to Lactoferrin for iron support?

Yes! Lactoferrin works alongside both iron from supplements and the diet to support healthy iron levels. It has been clinically researched to assist with the healthy transport and utilization of iron in the body.

A Great Addition to My Postpartum Routine!
I’ve been taking Perelel Collagen + Defense as part of my postpartum routine, and I’m really loving it! As a breastfeeding mom of three, I’m trying to be intentional about taking care of myself, too. So far, I haven’t experienced any significant postpartum hair loss, and my skin looks and feels more vibrant, healthy, and less dull. It’s been so nice to feel a little more like myself during this season of recovery and sleepless nights! I can’t say for certain how much is due to the collagen, but I’m really happy with my experience so far. Definitely a product I plan to keep in my daily routine!

An easy yes for my daily routine
As a mom of four, I need anything I add to my routine to be simple, and Collagen + Defense is exactly that. It's effortless to take every day, and I love getting collagen and immune support in one step instead of juggling multiple products. Honestly, there's nothing I didn't like about it. It's become a staple, and I'd recommend it to any busy mom.

It’s so worth it!
I used to avoid taking collagen because I hated the texture and the aftertaste, even when mixing it with other drinks. But this one from Perelel has been a total game changer!!!! Now I literally count down the seconds until my daily dose. I’ve been loving it so much!! 🤍✨

Peace of Mind!
I’ve been taking this for approximately 4 months and have enjoyed having it for the peace of mind but also because of the lactoferrin benefits that seem to come out more and more each day!
